My Philosophy

At the core of my work is the belief that painful experiences and symptoms are invitations to heal, grow, and transform. They urge us to look inward, tend to what needs care, and create meaningful change in our lives. Our deepest wounds offer us an opportunity to cultivate greater self-awareness, resilience, and ultimately to transform.

The healing journey isn’t something we navigate alone. I am deeply honored to walk beside you through the challenging and often uncharted waters of healing. I bring not only professional training, but also insight and embodiment that comes from having done this work myself.

My commitment is to hold space for you with warmth, presence, and respect for your unique process. Healing is possible, and I am here to support you in creating a life that feels more joyful, fulfilling, and aligned.

My Approach

Mental health symptoms, while painful, are not who you are, they are signals of a nervous system under stress and inner “parts” that are carrying pain. These patterns often begin in times of trauma, stress, or when we lacked the tools and support to fully process our experiences.

Healing is possible through nervous system regulation, bringing compassion and understanding to wounded parts, and integrating our stories into wholeness. Therapy offers a safe and supportive space for this process.

My approach blends somatic and mindfulness practices, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Polyvagal theory (nervous system healing), Inference-based CBT (I-CBT) for OCD, and compassion-based work. By addressing both body and mind, we create lasting change that fosters resilience and alignment with yourself.
