My Approach

Understanding why something happens doesn’t always change how it feels.

You may recognize patterns in your relationships, understand where certain reactions come from, or know that a difficult experience is behind you, yet still find yourself struggling with its effects.

Our experiences can shape us in ways that extend beyond conscious memory. They can influence how we respond to stress, what we come to believe about ourselves, how we experience relationships, and the ways we learn to protect ourselves.

Trauma, attachment experiences, and significant life events can leave lasting impressions, sometimes expressed through emotions, physical sensations, internal conflict, or patterns that are difficult to change through insight alone.

But our experiences do not tell the whole story of who we are.

Alongside the difficulties people carry are values, intentions, abilities, relationships, and aspects of identity that may have become less visible through periods of distress.

Therapy creates space to attend to both: the experiences that continue to affect us and the possibilities for change that extend beyond them.

How We Work Together

My approach is integrative, relational, and trauma-informed. I draw from EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed parts work, somatic approaches, Narrative Therapy, and Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT).

These approaches allow us to work with different dimensions of experience, including traumatic memories, emotional and physiological responses, protective patterns, relationships, and the meanings we make of our lives.

Depending on your needs, our work may involve:

• Trauma processing and integration: Working with distressing memories, emotions, beliefs, and body-based responses that continue to affect your life, including through EMDR when appropriate.

• Parts work and protective responses: Understanding internal conflicts and the roles of protective responses such as anger, avoidance, self-criticism, perfectionism, or emotional disconnection, while developing new ways of relating to these experiences.

• Attachment and emotional experiences: Exploring how early and significant relationships have shaped emotional needs, expectations, and patterns of connection, while supporting new relational and emotional capacities.

• Somatic awareness and regulation: Working with the relationship between body, emotion, and nervous system responses to increase the capacity to remain present, process difficult experiences, and respond with greater flexibility.

• Identity, meaning, and personal agency: Examining the beliefs and stories that have developed through life experiences, recognizing strengths and values that may have been overshadowed by problems, and exploring preferred ways of living and relating.

What Therapy Can Offer

Therapy can be a place to process painful experiences, work through difficult emotions, strengthen relationships, and develop capacities that support you through life’s challenges.

It can also create opportunities to question conclusions you may have come to hold about yourself, recognize the influence of problems without allowing them to define your identity, and reconnect with what matters to you.

The work is not simply about understanding the past or managing symptoms. It is about creating opportunities for meaningful change in the present, while expanding your sense of what is possible for the future.

My role is to offer a collaborative, thoughtful space where your experiences are taken seriously, your knowledge of your own life is respected, and our work is guided by what matters most to you.
