I love being a therapist. To me, it's like being a compassionate companion on someone's journey, helping them rediscover the incredible depth and strength within themselves and their communities. Life can throw us curveballs, leaving us feeling disconnected from who we truly are. But by embracing every part of ourselves with kindness, even the parts we may not always love, we open up avenues for healing and personal growth.
I work from a humanistic orientation. Think of my counseling style as a colorful mosaic, blending together narrative interventions, somatic awareness, mindfulness tools, attachment theory, and Internal Family Systems’ parts work. It's like creating a unique recipe tailored to each person's needs. I specialize in working with trauma, depression, and addiction issues, with experience working in both inpatient and outpatient facilities treating co-occurring disorders.
Creating a safe space is paramount to me. I want you to feel truly seen and heard, where every emotion, thought, and belief is welcomed with open arms. At the heart of everything I do is the belief that you already possess the wisdom you need; my role is simply to help you uncover it. Together, we'll navigate your inner landscape, mending any fractures and releasing burdens, paving the way for inner and outer harmony.
