About Me
My path to becoming a therapist is closely connected to my own experience of personal growth and self-understanding. Through that process, I discovered how transformative it can be to explore the parts of ourselves that once felt confusing, overwhelming, or hidden.
That journey shaped the way I practice today.
I believe therapy works best when it is relational and genuine. The connection between therapist and client becomes a space where new experiences are possible and long-standing patterns can be understood with compassion.
As therapists, we can only guide others as far as we have been willing to go ourselves. For that reason, I approach this work with humility, curiosity, and deep respect for the courage it takes to explore your inner world.
My Approach to Therapy
While insight can be meaningful, I believe change does not happen through insight alone. Often, it is through lived, experiential moments—both within yourself and within the therapeutic relationship—that new ways of understanding and relating begin to emerge.
I also integrate elements of embodiment and parts-oriented exploration. Our experiences are not only cognitive — they are also felt emotionally and physically. By bringing awareness to these experiences, deeper layers of understanding often emerge.
In my work with couples, I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an evidence-based approach that helps partners understand the emotional patterns and attachment dynamics that shape their relationship.
Trauma-Informed and Relational Therapy
Many emotional struggles develop in the context of relationships. Experiences of trauma or complex trauma often influence how we understand ourselves, how safe we feel with others, and how our nervous systems respond to stress.
The patterns that develop in response to these experiences are often protective adaptations that once helped us cope with difficult circumstances.
In therapy, these patterns are explored with curiosity rather than judgment. By bringing awareness to emotional, relational, and embodied experiences, we can begin to understand how the past continues to live in the present.
Over time, this understanding can create space for new experiences of safety, connection, and self-compassion.
You Don’t Have to Do This Alone
Many people spend years trying to understand themselves on their own. While insight can be powerful, meaningful change often happens in relationship.
Therapy offers a space where your experiences can be explored with someone who is attentive, curious, and genuinely invested in understanding you.
Within a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship, patterns that once felt confusing or overwhelming can begin to make sense. Over time, many people discover a greater sense of clarity, self-compassion, and freedom in how they move through their lives and relationships.
