My Approach to Helping

My theoretical orientation is integrative and trauma-informed, drawing primarily from attachment theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and emotionally focused approaches. I help clients understand how past relationships and experiences shape current patterns, while gently working with protective parts and emotional responses rather than pushing against them. I offer a warm, grounded, and collaborative space where clients can slow down, feel deeply seen, and explore their experiences without fear of judgment. I believe healing begins in safe relationships, so I prioritize trust, attunement, and emotional presence. Whether clients are navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, or life transitions, my goal is to help them make meaning of their stories while developing practical tools for daily life.
