“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”

~Maya Angelou

My Approach

The partnership I seek to develop with clients is grounded in trust, compassion, and honoring the essential human need to feel seen.

I believe therapy gives us tools to create the life story we want to tell and often starts with unlearning the ways we’ve learned to hide our most authentic selves. Therapy can help us stay in the present, plan for the future, and, perhaps most profoundly, take us on a journey home to uncover the truest versions of ourselves.

As an integral therapist, I provide individual and couples therapy that incorporates a variety of modalities depending on client needs. The type of therapy I bring into client partnerships is informed by humanistic psychology, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, attachment-based therapy, psychodynamic therapy, emotion-focused therapy, Internal Family Systems, contemporary trauma theory, and transpersonal concepts.

I strive to practice through a culturally humble, client-centered lens and often remind myself that my clients are the authors of their own stories.

Therapeutic Modalities

  • Humanistic Psychology

    Every person, couple, and family has a unique story, so I don’t believe in cookie-cutter approaches to therapy. I will support you through person-centered therapy as you connect more deeply to your own inner wisdom - that intuitive part of you that always knows the way.

  • Attachment-Based Therapy

    Sometimes, to write a new chapter, we must re-read those that came before. We will explore the most impactful relationships of your past to uncover any attachment wounds that may be holding you back in the present. For couples, we will look at how your early attachment agreements are influencing your current relationship and to relieve any subconscious needs to re-enact harmful patterns.

  • Mindfulness Practices

    Gaining awareness of the stories and thoughts that no longer serve us can be liberating. We will practice ways for you to let go of automatic negative thoughts and to understand the signals your body is sending you so that you can show up to your life with more presence and less judgement.

  • Gottman Method Couples Therapy

    Gottman Method Couples Therapy is a research-backed approach to couples counseling that helps improve communication, intimacy, and conflict resolution. I will partner with you to identify relationship patterns that are keeping you stuck in conflict cycles and teach you new ways to approach conflict and to build a relationship that brings in greater appreciation and shared meaning.

  • Somatic Interventions

    After trauma, adverse experiences, or the stress of everyday life, our nervous systems often need a check-in or tune-up. Somatic interventions can reveal how your body is holding on to stories or defense mechanisms that no longer serve you. Through breathwork, movement, and visualizations, we will slowly and safely foster an environment for you to find relief.

  • Psychodynamic Therapy

    Through a psychodynamic lens, we will incorporate talk therapy to help move unconscious thoughts to consciousness. Then we can unpack and understand how these thoughts are helping or hindering you so that you have more control over your story.
