In life, we all encounter painful experiences that impact how we see ourselves, others, and the world. These experiences can leave us feeling overwhelmed, stuck, and out of touch with ourselves. We may also find our bodies reflecting this inner distress, expressing it through physical pain and dis-ease. As your therapist, my goal is to help you reconnect to alignment, embodiment, and ultimately, vitality. In my work, I draw on trauma-informed modalities, attachment theory, and somatic approaches to provide a holistic healing journey. Together we can help you better understand and soothe your pain, and arrive at a newfound sense of self.
I believe that trust and authenticity in the therapeutic relationship are the foundation for meaningful change. I aim to create a safe, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where we can explore your concerns and goals together. Because healing looks different for everyone, I prioritize tailoring our work to meet your unique needs.
I have experience working with a wide range of identities and concerns. I wholeheartedly believe that facets of one’s identity, such as race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, and much more, are integral to one’s lived experience and inherently shape the therapeutic process. As such, I incorporate identity exploration work with all my clients, while assuming a stance of curiosity and humility.
