I work from a relational framework, meaning that I believe the authentic connection between a client and a therapist is a profound catalyst for change.

I utilize emotionally focused/attachment frameworks to explore how our early relationships create the blueprint for our understandings of love, trust and self-worth. The goal of unpacking this history isn’t to harp on what went wrong; it's to find freedom from the stories that keep us feeling stuck and disconnected from ourselves and from others.

Some of the modalities I work with include, Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, Brainspotting and EMDR.

what I can help with

• Quieting the inner critic

• Developing healthy boundaries

• Increasing self-compassion and self-worth

• Coping with overwhelming emotions

• Exploring interracial identity

• Processing family of origin/childhood experiences

• Trauma Recovery (complex and single incident)

My work is rooted in deep respect for each person’s inner wisdom and capacity for healing. I work collaboratively with each client to create a process that’s flexible, responsive, and aligned with their goals. While every person’s path is unique, my approach is shaped by a few core beliefs:

• The understanding that we are wired for connection. Healing often happens in relationships—through safety, trust, and presence. I view the therapeutic relationship as a space where meaningful connection can foster real change.

•  A deep awareness of power, privilege, and oppression—including how they show up in areas like race, gender, sexuality, class, neurodiversity & ablility. These forces impact not only how we move through the world, but also how we relate to ourselves and others. I bring a social justice lens to my work, always keeping in mind the larger systems that shape personal experience.

• The value of mindful, present-moment awareness. Slowing down and tuning in can help us access greater clarity, self-compassion, and insight into our emotional, physical, and spiritual experiences.

• The belief that therapy is a brave and collaborative process. It takes commitment, openness, and mutual trust—and I honor the courage it takes to show up and do this work.

I draw from the following evidence-based approaches that support meaningful, lasting change:

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy
IFS offers a non-judgmental, empowering framework for understanding your inner experience. It views the self as made up of many different “parts”—each with its own perspective and role. Through IFS, we’ll explore these parts and help you connect with your core Self, a compassionate inner presence that can lead healing from within.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

EMDR is a powerful, research-supported approach for working with trauma and distressing memories. It helps the brain process experiences that may feel "stuck" or overwhelming, reducing their emotional charge and allowing healing to take place. Using bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements or tapping), EMDR supports the natural integration of difficult experiences, so they no longer hold the same power over your present life.

Psychodynamic Therapy
Our early life experiences often shape how we see ourselves and relate to others—sometimes in ways we’re not fully aware of. In our work together, we’ll gently uncover unconscious patterns, making space for insight, self-understanding, and the possibility of new ways of being.

Mindfulness-Based Approaches

Mindfulness helps you develop greater awareness of your thoughts, emotions, and body sensations in the present moment. Whether through meditation, guided visualization, or breathwork, these practices can support emotional regulation, reduce stress, and help you reconnect with yourself in a deeper, more grounded way.

Attachment-Based Work
Our relationships with our early caregivers shape the way we experience connection, trust, and intimacy. By exploring your attachment patterns in a safe and supportive environment, we can work together to create new, healthier ways of relating.

Ultimately, I believe therapy is not about fixing what’s “wrong,” but about reconnecting with your own strength, clarity, and authenticity. Together, we’ll create a space where your full self is welcome—where healing can happen at your own pace, in your own way.
