How We Work Together
We start by building a trusting and emotionally safe therapist-client relationship together, as this is the foundation for our deeper work. We begin exploring what life is like for you, like your inner experiences, your personal goals, past and present stressors, and life circumstances.
I blend humanistic therapy with EMDR therapy, a specialized therapy that helps people move past whatever is blocking them or holding them back. I also integrate parts work, somatic awareness, and mindfulness when supportive. Sessions are personalized according to your needs, and we work together at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
The core of our work together is about identifying and working through what is in the way. It’s not about ignoring your thoughts or pushing past your feelings, but it’s about addressing and resolving the subconscious beliefs or lived-experiences that are underneath, which are fueling the self doubt, old patterns, self criticism, or staying small. We integrate healthier beliefs that allow change and new growth to come forward in a way that feels natural and unforced. We do this work so that you may feel more free, more connected to yourself, and more authentic in the world.

Therapy is personal. Person to person.
Therapy is a space for you, where your journey is honored.
As a fellow human, I’ve been there myself. I understand the tension between wanting to grow and wanting things to stay familiar. And to me, self discovery isn’t about one day suddenly knowing yourself. Instead, it’s about piece by piece, letting go of what holds you back from fully living. Underneath the mental and emotional clutter, your authentic self remains.
My lived experiences deepen my empathy for your lived experiences. I seek to hold space for your own unique experiences, meeting you with curiosity and to understand them alongside you.
