How I Approach the Work
I approach therapy with humility, warmth, and respect for the ways people have adapted to survive. I see symptoms not as signs of pathology, but as intelligent responses to environments that were, at times, overwhelming or insufficiently supportive.
My role is not to fix or direct, but to accompany—to help create the safety and attunement that allow deeper parts of the self to emerge and be known.
What Therapy Is Like
Therapy with me often involves slowing things down. Rather than focusing only on recounting the events of the week, we may pause to notice what is happening inside as you speak—emotionally, physically, or both.
A sensation, feeling, or subtle shift in your body may guide our work, opening into memories, images, impulses, or simply a deeper understanding of what something means to you. In this way, therapy becomes experiential and grounded in the present moment, rather than purely intellectual.
I pay close attention to your inner experience, doing my best to attune to what you’re feeling beneath the words. I may notice changes in affect, posture, or tone, and gently bring these to your attention to see what they might be communicating. At times, I may also share how I’m being affected by what you’re sharing, when it feels clinically useful and supportive of the work.
Taking the First Step
If you’re interested in working together, you can reach out using the contact form or email to schedule a free initial conversation. This first meeting is an opportunity to get a feel for one another, talk about what brings you in, and see if the fit feels right.
I consider it a genuine privilege to be invited into my clients’ inner worlds, and I approach the beginning of therapy with care, respect, and thoughtfulness.
