I work with a range of modalities centered in humanistic therapy, which holds that people have an innate capacity for growth, healing, and self-actualization when they are met with empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard (Rogers, 1957), and Jungian (analytical) psychology, which understands psychological suffering as arising from parts of the psyche that are split off from consciousness and sees healing as unfolding through individuation — the ongoing integration of the conscious and unconscious (shadow) toward a more whole self (Jung, 1966).

My work is also supported by narrative therapy, existential inquiry, somatic exploration, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). In service of a holistic orientation, mindfulness, self-compassion, intuition (both yours and mine), humor, spirituality, and metaphor all play essential roles in how I cultivate a healing space.

Healing rarely follows a single path. Rather than adhering rigidly to one modality, I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches so our work can be shaped by what feels most alive, relevant, and useful for you in each session.

My style is present, collaborative, and responsive — grounded in tracking patterns and meaningful goals while supporting you in cultivating lasting, embodied change.

clients

I work with adults in their mid-thirties and beyond who are seeking therapy to reclaim themselves from limiting beliefs, inherited narratives, and long-standing emotional patterns shaped by attachment, family systems, and societal conditioning.

My practice is especially well-suited for people experiencing a chronic or existential sense of incongruence — those who can be outwardly functional but feel inwardly misaligned, depleted, or disconnected from themselves. Clients often come to me not in acute crisis, but during a season of reflection, transition, awakening, or quiet unraveling, when partnership in the process of healing would be particularly helpful.

A Collaborative, Depth-Oriented Approach to Therapy

I am a strong fit for people seeking depth-oriented psychotherapy who feel sincerely ready to explore unconscious patterns, protective strategies, and inner conflicts. If you are longing to be seen and understood without judgment — and are willing to engage honestly with the parts of yourself you may have learned to avoid — I offer a steady, attuned, and collaborative therapeutic relationship.

The central orientation of my work is collaborative awakening. Together, we explore formative and sacred wounds — not to pathologize them, but to understand how they developed and how they can be reparented with care. This process supports integration, self-trust, and a more embodied sense of agency. This is the work of soothing scar tissue with deep and alchemizing love.

Integrating Psychological and Spiritual Dimensions

The psychological and the spiritual are meaningfully intertwined in my work. I meet clients wherever they are in relationship to spirituality and encourage growing this relationship. At times, spiritual insight or breakthrough becomes necessary, particularly when working with deeply entrenched patterns in the shadow.

My approach is grounded, relational, and trauma-informed, shaped by my own healing journey and guided by three core principles:

  • Healing is relational

  • Healing does not have to hurt

  • Healing is metamorphosis
