Approach

APPROACH


In my work, I lead with warmth, empathy, and a collaborative, client-centered approach—always honoring that healing is not a one-size-fits-all journey. I tailor our work to reflect your lived experience, your pace, and your truth. My therapeutic lens draws from Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), EMDR, psychodynamic therapy, and attachment theory to support deep healing and self-awareness. Together, we explore the roots of emotional patterns, the impact of early relationships, and how your nervous system has learned to protect you—while gently building capacity for regulation, connection, and secure relating.

Whether you meet me in a therapy session, a reel or a workshop—I hope you feel this:
Healing doesn’t have to be clinical. It can be Warm. Playful. Honest. Messy. Sacred. Slow. Yours.


MINDFULNESS-COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY (MCBT)

Mindfulness-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (MCBT) helps individuals identify and change negative thinking and behavior patterns. It emphasizes the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In MCBT sessions, clients work with a therapist to recognize and challenge these patterns, replacing them with healthier alternatives. Mindfulness techniques enhance awareness of thoughts and emotions in a non-judgmental way, promoting proactive responses. MCBT effectively addresses anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, and substance abuse. As a trained therapist, I use mindfulness to support clients in managing symptoms, improving relationships, and fostering self-awareness for a more fulfilling life.

EYE MOVEMENT DESENSITIZATION & REPROCESSING (EMDR)

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy helps individuals heal from trauma and distressing experiences. It addresses how traumatic memories can become 'stuck' in the brain, leading to ongoing distress and negative beliefs. By using bilateral stimulation, such as hand tapping, clients can desensitize these memories and gain a healthier perspective. EMDR is effective for various issues, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, and phobias, and benefits those with chronic stress or relational trauma. As an EMDR-trained therapist, I use this approach to help clients process trauma and enhance emotional resilience and well-being.

PSYCHODYNAMIC THERAPY

Psychodynamic therapy explores the unconscious mind's impact on thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It aims to help clients understand their inner experiences and how early relationships shape their personalities. This approach can address anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and unresolved trauma, often requiring long-term commitment. As a therapist, I guide clients to uncover emotional conflicts and foster self-awareness within a supportive therapeutic relationship, leading to improved relationships and fulfillment in life.
