Therapy Style
I believe in treating your whole being - mind, body and spirit. As both a guide and a witness to your healing, I want to give you the tools to help you see yourself, your experiences, and your emotions through a lens of self-compassion and curiosity. We will go gently and at your pace. My approach is integrative, rooted in evidence-based techniques, with mindfulness and somatic awareness weaved in. I always remain client-centered, tailoring our sessions to your unique identity and what you are experiencing and needing in the moment. Together, we will release limitations from your past, stretch your tolerance for what arises in the present, and foster hope for your future.
