I believe therapy works best when clients feel genuinely understood, emotionally safe, and respected as the experits of their own lives. Many of the people I work with come in feelings overwhelmed, stuck in survival mode, or unsure wh y certain patterns keep repeating despite their best efforts. My role is not to “fix” you, but to help you understand what is underneath, build safety in your nervous system, and create meaningful change at a pace that feels sustainable. I work with children, teens, adults, and caregivers navigating trauma, anxiety, emotional regulation challenges, and neurodivergent experiences. My approach is trauma-informed, person-centered, and neurodiversity-affirming, meaning I prioritize consent, collaboration, and honoring each individual’s unique way of experiencing the world. I pay close attention to how stress and trauma live in the body. In sessions, I value honesty, curiosity, and authenticity, and I am not afraid to gently challenge patterns that no longer serve you. Rather than relying heavily on homework, I focus on meaningful in-session experiences, reflection, and tools that actually fit into real life. Therapy is a collaborative process, and my goal is to help clients feel more connected to themselves, more regulated in their bodies, and more empowered in their lives.
