My Therapeutic Approach
Evidence-based tools we can use to explore, process, and release what’s holding you back
Relational Therapy
At the heart of my work is the belief that healing happens in relationships. I believe therapy should be a space where we can be real, messy, awkward, and explore the parts of ourselves we usually hide. Together, we’ll practice vulnerability, setting boundaries, navigating difficult emotions, and noticing your patterns—so you leave not just feeling understood, but better equipped to show up authentically in the world and in your relationships.
Parts Work
Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps you get to know the different parts of yourself— especially the younger ones that still carry old wounds, unmet needs, or protective roles. Instead of judging or pushing them away, we meet each part with curiosity and compassion. Whether it’s the inner critic, the overachiever, or the tender child inside you, each part has something valuable to teach. By listening and responding with care, you can create a sense of internal harmony, feel more at peace, and connect more fully with yourself.
Somatic Work
Somatic therapy is about getting out of your head and back into your body—where much of the hard stuff actually lives. Trauma, stress, and emotional pain often show up as tension, tightness, or that nagging sense of disconnection you can’t quite shake. Together, we’ll tune into those sensations—through breath, movement, or simply noticing what’s happening in your body—and gently release what’s been holding you back.
EMDR
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps you process experiences and memories that continue to hold you back—especially the ones that feel overwhelming, confusing, or stuck in your body. Instead of avoiding or pushing them away, we gently guide the brain to reprocess these memories so they lose their charge. Whether it’s past trauma, anxiety, or persistent negative beliefs, EMDR helps you make sense of the experience, release what no longer serves you, and step into a greater sense of safety, clarity, and self-compassion.

I specialize working with...
The Highly Sensitive Person
You are highly attuned to others and often put their needs ahead of your own. Your emotions can feel intense, sometimes leading to overwhelm, shutting down, or people-pleasing. You are a natural caregiver and people turn to you for support and guidance. You’re ready to strengthen boundaries, regulate your emotions, and express your needs so you can make space to care for yourself first.
The Relationship-Oriented
You value deep connection, but sometimes find yourself drawn to unbalanced or one-sided relationships. You want to love fully without losing yourself, understand your attachment patterns, strengthen your self-worth, and create authentic, fulfilling relationships. You crave connection that feels mutual, grounded, and emotionally safe — where you can show up as your whole self and be met there.
The High-Achieving Perfectionist
You have big goals, a strong work ethic, and a really long to-do list. You’re driven, but often end up exhausted, stressed, or burnt out. You tend to be a perfectionist and have a hard time letting go of your need to do it all. You want guidance on how to slow down without guilt, give yourself more permission for rest and self-care, soften self-criticism, and create more balance and joy in your life.
The One In Transition
You’re at a turning point in your life. You might be questioning your career path, reassessing relationships, or realizing that the life you built no longer fully reflects who you are. There’s a pull to evolve, to create something more aligned with your growth and values. You want support clarifying your priorities, reconnecting with your intuition, and stepping into a life that reflects who you truly are.
