APPROACH
My work is rooted in Attachment Theory with a strong component of Mindfulness and Reflective Parenting. I also incorporate elements of Gestalt Therapy and Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy.
Helping you achieve your goals--whether in your relationships, your parenting style, or your career--begins with a strong therapeutic relationship. My approach to working with you combines evidence-based practices, but even more importantly, an immense amount of empathy, curiosity, and a deep sense of wonder about you so we can build a client-therapist relationship that is based on trust.
I meet you where you are, offering a compassionate presence that allows you to look at yourself and others with more care, grace, and understanding. I employ both a somatic approach--centering the therapeutic process on how feelings are experienced in the body--and mindfulness techniques so you can feel safe to explore your emotions.
