My Approach to Therapy
My approach to therapy for women is rooted in the idea that you are most empowered when you have access to the wisdom of you body; that patterns of disconnection and self-judgement are at the root of many experiences with anxiety, shame, overwhelm, and indecision.
I promote connection, curiosity, and self-compassion as a pathway towards healing and clarity. I believe that many of the concerns bringing you into therapy can be solved by slowing down, taking care of your body, and reconnecting with what matters most to you!
Reconnect to what matters most to you.
Treatment Modalities
Instead of a "one size fits all" approach, I cater my approaches to your specific circumstances and goals.
Some of the practices that guide sessions include Cognitive-Based Interventions, Mindfulness-Based Approaches, Feminist Theories, Narrative Therapy, Relational Cultural Therapy, and Trauma-Informed Interventions.

Guiding Principles
Compassion
The stories we tell ourselves shape our perceptions of who we are. I work with my clients to shift out of narratives that have kept them disconnected so that they can reclaim their inner wisdom and restore balance to their lives.
Connection
I create space for clients to gently reconnect with their bodies and become aware of the experiences that are present there. As we work together, we will learn what it looks like for you to listen to your body and its wisdom.
Empowerment
You are the expert of your own experiences will enter the therapeutic relationship with your own values, beliefs, identities, and worldview. The job of your therapist is to create space for your journey of self-reflection and growth, through mutual learning and collaboration.
