As a therapist, I understand that therapy can be a raw and difficult journey, but the benefits and rewards can greatly enhance your life and well-being. I believe that nurturing the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit is imperative for fostering holistic well-being, achieving greater emotional resilience, physical vitality, and a sense of purpose.
It is a privilege for me to hold space for you to discuss your inner world, hardships, and the complexities of life. My goal is to provide a space without judgment and to meet you with compassion. I believe that we are able to truly embrace life when we live as our authentic selves, and that authenticity cultivates meaningful connection. To live authentically, a strong sense of self is essential, and this can become distorted through adversities and trauma. Therefore, I aim to aid you in living out your true values, nurturing the mind-body connection, challenging unhelpful patterns and much more. I will meet you where you are in your healing journey while empowering you to reach your therapeutic goals and cultivate the life you desire.
To tailor treatment to your specific needs, I incorporate a variety of modalities, including Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Somatic Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, to create a personalized treatment plan.
