My therapeutic approach is person-centered, prioritizing a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental space where you are fully seen and heard. My style is warm, informal, humor-filled, and down-to-earth, creating a relaxed space for meaningful exploration. But I won’t just smile and nod—I’m also not afraid to gently challenge you, provide practices to explore between sessions, and hold you accountable to your intentions to transform and heal.

I believe you are the expert on your own life and fundamentally whole as you are. My role is to offer a safe container and tools to help you connect more deeply with your lived experience, your body’s wisdom, and your mind’s innate capacity for healing. Drawing from mindful and somatic practices rooted in Buddhist psychology, Hakomi Method principles, and Expressive Arts therapy, I help clients approach their experiences with curiosity and non-judgment, fostering radical self-compassion and present-moment awareness. I am in the process of training to receive Level 1 certification in Expressive Arts Therapy.

To support emotion regulation and healing, I incorporate skills from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), a mindfulness-based approach designed to help navigate intense emotions. Additionally, I offer trauma treatment through Flash Technique, which uses bilateral stimulation to reduce emotional distress while reprocessing traumatic memories gently and effectively.

I am deeply committed to creating an inclusive, affirming space for people of all identities, including those in LGBTQIA+ communities, consensually non-monogamous relationships, and individuals from diverse racial, ethnic, and spiritual backgrounds. This space is a collaborative one, designed to support exploration, growth, and healing while respecting the uniqueness of every person’s experience.
