My Approach

As mentioned, I am a holistic Therapist in that I believe we are whole beings, mind-body-soul and should be treated as such. That means that my approach incorporates an understanding of how all the parts of us humans (brain, body, emotions, thoughts/mind) and our past experiences impact our current experience. I am eclectic in my approach in that I pull from various therapeutic modalities in order to tailor my work to each unique individual I work with. 

The foundation of my work is relational. My goal is to connect with my clients with warmth, empathy, authenticity and compassion. I believe in meeting people where they are at, creating space for my clients to show up in all their authenticity. All of you is welcome!

I prefer to work experientially. This means that we will be connecting to your experience in the moment, together. This allows us to process and support what needs to be supported while also providing a space for you to practice and build skills you can take outside the therapy room. So much about growth and healing is about changing how we meet/respond to what shows up within us. When we change how we meet the patterns, the patterns change.

We can do this by working to regulate our energy (nervous system), processing emotional wounding and understanding and changing our conditioned patterns. The brain changes in response to new experience. So let’s connect and create something new together in order to bring about the growth and change you desire.
