My approach to therapy is strengths-based, collaborative, and tailored to the individual. My clinical training is grounded in a psychodynamic perspective, which means I believe our past experiences often shape how we understand ourselves, relate to others, and respond to challenges in the present. Because of this, our work may involve exploring both current concerns and the patterns or experiences that have contributed to them.

While I draw from evidence-based approaches including EMDR, cognitive and behavioral therapies, and other trauma-informed modalities, I don't believe therapy should be a one-size-fits-all process. Together, we'll find an approach that fits your goals, personality, and learning style. For some people, that may involve practical skills and strategies; for others, it may involve deeper exploration, insight, and processing.

Therapy with me tends to feel more like a genuine conversation than a lecture or a series of worksheets. My style is warm, relaxed, and conversational. I value authenticity and believe that growth can occur alongside humor, curiosity, and self-compassion. My goal is to create a space where you feel supported and understood, while also feeling challenged to examine old patterns, build on your existing strengths, and move toward meaningful change.
