Relational

I believe that what really makes therapy work isn’t just the techniques or the tools we use—it’s the relationship we build together. Research backs this up: the single biggest factor in healing isn’t the specific method, but the quality of the connection between therapist and client.

So while I bring skills, training, and approaches into our work, what I care most about is showing up as a real human being—curious, compassionate, and attuned to you. I believe healing happens in the space between us, when there's enough trust to explore the hard stuff and enough connection to feel supported through it.

Integrative

I believe in the wholeness of the individual, integrating practices that nurture the mind, body, and spirit:

• Mind: We will explore cognitive patterns and develop healthy coping mechanisms for managing difficult emotions and thoughts.
• Body: We will utilize body-based practices like mindfulness and movement to increase self-awareness, improve emotional regulation, and reconnect with your embodied experience.
• Spirit: We will explore your values, sense of purpose, and connection to something larger than yourself, fostering a sense of meaning and belonging and nurturing supportive relationships with others.

Trauma Informed

Trauma and attachment wounding underlies many symptoms people tend to present with, both mental and physical.  These wounds can disrupt our sense of self, damage our relationships with others, and leave us feeling isolated and disconnected. Trauma can take many forms, from single events like accidents or assaults to chronic experiences like abuse or emotional neglect and chronic illness.
