My Approach

This practice may be a good fit if you:

  • Want depth-oriented, nervous-system-aware therapy

  • Are open to slowing down and working gently

  • Value self-understanding and embodied change

This may not be a fit if you’re looking for:

  • Quick behavioral fixes

  • Advice-only therapy

  • Crisis or emergency services

Thoughtful, Skilled Therapy Rooted in Advanced Training

My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that real change happens when insight, safety, and the nervous system are addressed together not rushed, not forced, and not reduced to surface-level coping.

I bring extensive post-graduate training in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and somatic, nervous-system-informed therapy, modalities often sought out by clients who feel stuck despite previous therapy experiences.

This work is deliberate, attuned, and informed by both ongoing education and close clinical supervision.

Therapeutic Framework

I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. Together, we’ll explore what you need emotionally, mentally, and physically. I’ll draw from different mind-body approaches to support your unique journey. Each session is shaped around you, at your pace, and with deep care.

Associate Status: What That Means for You

I currently practice as an Associate Marriage & Family Therapist, which means I work under close clinical supervision while continuing to deepen my training.

For clients, this structure offers several benefits:

  • Access to advanced, specialized training

  • A high level of clinical accountability

  • Thoughtful, collaborative case consultation

  • A rate that reflects this stage of practice

This phase is temporary. As I transition to full licensure, availability and fees will change. Many clients choose to begin during this window to access focused, high-quality care at this stage.

  • Somatic Experiencing helps us tune into the body to release stress and trauma that may be “stuck” in the nervous system. Instead of talking only about the past, we gently notice sensations like tightness, heat, or breath. This helps your body complete the stress response and feel calmer, grounded, and safe.

  • IFS sees your mind as made up of different “parts,” like a worried part, a sad part, or a protective part. Sometimes these parts clash or take over. We work gently to listen to each one with compassion, so you can feel more in control and whole, like all parts of you are finally on the same team.

  • EFT helps you understand your emotions and how they affect your relationships. It’s especially useful for couples or anyone struggling with feeling disconnected. Together, we explore patterns in how you react and connect, and work toward building stronger, safer emotional bonds with yourself and others.

  • This approach focuses on your nervous system and how it shifts between feeling safe, shut down, anxious, or overwhelmed. When we understand what’s happening in the body, we can learn how to soothe ourselves using simple tools like breath, movement, and grounding. It helps you feel more connected and less reactive.

  • Through mindfulness, we will explore your thoughts, emotions, and body sensations with curiosity and compassion. It is a practice of slowing down, noticing without judgment, and creating space for clarity, calm, and growth.
