• A blend of talk therapy and experiential techniques (e.g., mindfulness exercises, gentle movement)

• Practical tools to address current challenges and build long-term resilience
   

My Unique Approach

What sets my practice apart is the integration of holistic and spiritual elements with traditional therapy methods. I believe in honoring the whole person - mind, body, and spirit.  This might involve:

I'm open to incorporating various spiritual and holistic practices that align with your beliefs and comfort level. My goal is to create a space where all aspects of your being are welcomed and supported in the healing process.
 

•  

• Incorporating yoga and mindfulness practices for embodied healing

• Using symbolic tools and intuitive practices for self-discovery (if you're open to it)

• Conducting sessions outdoors in natural settings (when appropriate)

• Drawing on ancient wisdom traditions alongside modern therapeutic techniques

​

Therapeutic Approaches
Drawing from various modalities and a relational lens, I tailor our sessions to meet your unique needs. Now, brace yourself—jargon incoming! The following techniques are not all that I use, but are a brief overview: 

​

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you accept your thoughts and feelings rather than fighting against them, allowing you to commit to actions that align with your values.

• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on building skills in four key areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. It’s all about balancing acceptance with change.

• The Gottman Method is a research-based approach designed to improve communication and intimacy in relationships. We’ll work together to strengthen your connection and navigate conflicts effectively. I use this along with PET-C and other relational approaches. 
  
  My degree and license is as a Marriage and Family Therapist. This doesn't mean I only see couples and families- it means though that I look at all people through a relational and systemic lense. The environment around you, the people around you, your work, your home- everything is influencing and effecting you. These are all things we take into account! 
  
  
  Our Collaborative Journey
  Together, we'll embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth. My role is to provide guidance, support, and evidence-based tools, while honoring your innate wisdom and strength. Whether you're seeking relief from anxiety, navigating life transitions, or simply wanting to deepen your self-understanding, I'm here to support you every step of the way.
