Therapeutic Approach
Let’s uncover the roots of your difficult emotions.
Everything you are experiencing makes sense once we understand it. This understanding allows us to develop greater empathy for our thoughts, feelings, and actions.
My goal is to create a space where you feel completely free to share without judgment, allowing you to fully connect with and be yourself.
“I truly value your unique experiences and insights—they’re at the heart of our work together.”
Your unique experiences and insights are so valuable
—they’re at the heart of our work together.
My approach is humanistic and trauma-informed, drawing from my own experiences. I focus on your strengths and prioritize harm reduction, creating a supportive space for your growth and healing.
I draw from Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Compassion-Focused, Somatic, and Emotion-Focused approaches to support our journey and help guide our sessions.

Healing the Inner Child
Healing the inner child is a gentle process that helps address emotional wounds and unmet needs from childhood. It’s an opportunity to reconnect with your younger self, process past pain, and break free from patterns that may be impacting your life and relationships today. By nurturing this part of yourself, you can build self-compassion, strengthen emotional resilience, and create more authentic and fulfilling connections—with both yourself and those around you.
