My Approach to Helping

I take a holistic and systemic approach to therapy, looking beyond symptoms to understand the patterns, relationships, experiences, and beliefs shaping your life. My work integrates ACT, IFS, ERP, attachment-based and relational approaches, along with mindfulness and somatic awareness. Together, we’ll approach difficult experiences with curiosity rather than judgment, while also building practical ways to respond differently. I believe meaningful change comes not from becoming a different person, but from understanding yourself more deeply and creating more choice in how you move through your life.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe people make sense within the context of their experiences, relationships, families, and the systems around them. I’m less interested in asking “What’s wrong with you?” and more interested in understanding “What happened, what did you learn, and what is this pattern trying to do for you?” I value curiosity, authenticity, humor, and compassion, and I believe therapy should make room for complexity rather than forcing people into simple categories. My background in psychology, mindfulness, meditation, and yoga has also shaped my appreciation for the connection between mind and body. I strive to create an inclusive, affirming space for people with diverse identities, relationships, and family structures. You don’t need to fit a particular mold—or have yourself completely figured out—to belong in therapy.
