My Approach

Emotional Safety 

While therapy can be nerve wracking, scary, and hard, you should never feel judged, invalidated, or unsafe. Research shows that a good fit with your therapist is a key predictor of success. Serving my clients in a non-judgmental, validating, and safe way is key to my approach as a therapist.

Then & Now 

I am interested in unpacking early relationships and life experiences that have shaped the way you perceive yourself, others, and the world around you. Using attachment theory, we can make important connections that can guide our work together. This can look like inner child work, reparenting, and/or other emotion focused techniques. The work we do together will be led by your comfort level.

Mind & Body 

I believe in going beyond insight in my work. This is why I often take a “bottom up” approach to therapy that prioritizes regulating your nervous system. Using polyvagal theory and body based interventions, you can learn how to make use of new insight and actually see change.

Neuroscience

When I work with parents, I am primarily taking a child development/neuroscience approach that keeps “the brain in mind”. The strategies we will explore are backed by the latest child development research.
