Approach

I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches depending on your needs.

My style is warm, direct, and collaborative. I am an engaged therapist, offering clear tools and guidance when helpful.

I work well with those seeking something beyond traditional psychotherapy — a more holistic, depth-oriented approach. Many of my clients are thoughtful, self-aware, and ready to take an active role in their healing.

Our work is both deep and practical. We explore underlying patterns while also building the clarity, tools, and support needed to create meaningful change in your day-to-day life.

Holistic

My approach is holistic in that I take into account your whole self - emotional, psychological, physical, environmental, and spiritual. We collaborate to address the root causes of your struggles rather than putting a bandaid on symptoms.

Depth Psychotherapy

I hold a masters degree in depth psychotherapy from Pacifica Graduate Institute. Exploring the unconscious aspects of the human experience, depth psychotherapy includes accessing dreams, metaphor, and archetypes. Depth psych is non-pathologizing and affirms your strengths and self-understanding.

Solution Focused

This evidence-based therapeutic approach helps you construct solutions. I am an active therapist - I offer tools, skills, and guidance when needed. In addition, I draw on what you love and what already works for you in building your support system.

Internal Family Systems Therapy

Known as IFS, this modality addresses the many parts we all have. With this approach, multiplicity is seen as the norm and every part has a good intention for us and is of value. IFS is a non-pathologizing, accelerated approach rooted in neuroscience. It applies inner resources and self-compassion for healing emotional wounding. I am currently completing a training, Internal Family Systems Online Circle.

Somatic (body-based) Therapy & Mindfulness

Using somatic techniques, I guide you in listening to and connecting to your body. Therapy is much more effective if talking is combined with body awareness and opportunities to connect to physical sensations or to release trauma and tension from the body. When it makes sense, I guide my clients in meditations, grounding exercises, and visualizations.

Couples Therapy

I work with couples who want to deepen connection, improve communication, and move through recurring patterns that feel stuck or painful. My approach blends Emotionally Focused Therapy and Relational Life Therapy.

EFT is rooted in attachment science and helps partners understand the emotional dynamics underlying conflict — creating greater safety, closeness, and responsiveness. RLT brings a more direct, active approach, helping couples take accountability, shift unhelpful patterns, and build more honest, connected relationships.

Together, this work supports both deeper emotional bonding and real, lasting change in how you relate to one another.

Life Coaching

Sometimes I blend in life coaching techniques to support you in integrating our work into your life vision. For some, it is helpful to balance the work we do in delving into the past with how you want to move forward in your life. This may include creating intentions for the month or year or clear manifestation practices for creating the conditions for what you most desire.

Ecotherapy

As a certified Ecotherapist, I enjoy using tools from ecotherapy (nature-based therapies) to support your healing. This includes encouraging you to expand on your connection to plants, animals, or places. And to engage with nature as a source for your healing in addition to people. For some, I provide “nature prescriptions” for activities or time to spend in nature.

Spiritual Psychology

I work well with those who identify as sensitive or multi-sensory, and who feel called toward something deeper - whether that’s a sense of purpose, authentic power, or more meaningful connection in their lives and relationships.

Many of the people I work with are growing and evolving, but feel alone, confused, or unsure how to move forward in a way that truly reflects who they are.

In our work, we bring awareness to patterns, emotions, and unconscious dynamics so they no longer hold the same power - supporting greater clarity, alignment, and choice.

For those drawn to it, this can also include exploring the relationship between the personality and the soul, and how greater awareness supports healing and transformation.
