my approach to healing

I believe deeply in your inherent wholeness and your natural capacity for healing. My approach to therapy is compassionate, collaborative, and always tailored to your unique needss. Through a blend of evidence-based techniques, mind-body practices, and relational awareness, I strive to create a space where every part of you is welcomed- mind, body, heart, and spirit.

Core Principles

Trauma-informed care: Honoring your experiences and pacing healing at a rhytm that feels safe
Mind-body connection: Supporting emotional healing through physical awareness and somatic practices
Nature as healer: Recognizing the powerful role nature can play in restoring balance and clarity
Empowerment through narrative: Helping you rewrite the stories that have shaped your life
Evidence-based techniques: Drawing from approaches rooted in research and clinical effectiveness
Health-at-every-size lense: Promoting respect, inclusivity, and holistic well-being for every body.

What to Expect

In our sessions, you'll experience:

A warm, down-to-earth atmosphere where you can be your authentic self
Deep respect for your expertise in your own life and story
Exploration of social , cultural, and environmental influences on your well-being
A blend of talk therapy and experiential techniques (e.g., mindfulness exercises, gentle movement or creative exercises)
Practical tools for managing anxiety, navigating transitions, healing trauma, and building resilience

My Unique Approach

Healing is not just about talking- it's about reconnecting with the full wisdom of your body, mind, spirit.

Depending on your needs and interests, we might incorporate:

Somatic practices like yoga, breathwork, or mindfulness for embodied healing
Symbolic tools or intuitive practices for deeper self-discovery (only if it feels aligned for you)
Outdoor sessions in natural settings (when appropriate)
Ancient wisdom traditions alongside modern neuroscience and therapeutic frameworks

I aim to honor your whole self — bringing both science and soul into the healing process.

Therapeutic Modalities and Healing Approaches

I draw from a wide range of therapeutic modalities, blending them based on what best supports your goals:

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) Helping you move toward your values, even when life feels challenging
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) : Building core skills in mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and relationship effectiveness.
Somatic Therapy: Reconnecting with the body's innate wisdome to heal emotional and physical patterns of stress
Narrative Therapy: Exploring the stories you've carried- and creating new narratives of hope and empowerment.
Generational and Relational Healing: As a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT), I view your experience within the larger systems and relationships that shape you.
The Gottman Method for Couples: Research-backed strategies for improving communication, deepening emotional intimacy, and managing conflict.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for Couples: Healing attachment wounds and strengthening emotional bonds between partners
Brainspotting: A brain-body based therapy that helps access and process trauma, anxiety, and emotional blocks

Whether you're seeking individual therapy or couples therapy, we'll find the approaches that fit you best.

Why A Relational Lens Matters

Although I work with individuals, couples, and families, my MFT training means I naturally view people within their larger relational and environmental systems. Your relationships, community, work, family, and environment all play a role in your well-being — and healing often means understanding these influences, too.

You are never just "the problem" — you're part of a larger, meaningful story that deserves compassion and curiosity.

Our Collaborative Journey

Healing is not a straight line- and you don't have to walk it alone. Together, we'll embark on a collaborative journey of self-discovery, growth, and empowerment.

My role is to offer guidance, tools, and support while honoring your innate wisdome and strength.

Whether you're seeking support for anxiety, life transitions, trauma recover, or simply a deeper relationship with yourself, I'm here to walk beside you every step of the way.
