About

I believe the therapeutic relationship to be the foundation of an effective therapeutic process, one that is based on safety, collaboration and trust. With me, therapy is a time and space to be curious about your inner experiences, so you can explore what will create your healthiest life. In addition to exploring difficult events and emotions, therapy is also a time to celebrate your successes and explore and reconnect with your hopes and dreams. A time and place just for you.

My clinical framework is most strongly rooted in the humanistic-existential approach to therapy. This means that I maintain a client-centered approach which emphasizes the importance of the therapeutic alliance, empathy, and unconditional support which lead to a deeper sense of self-awareness and understanding.

I am continuously in awe of yoga’s ability to heal, both emotionally and physically. The mind-body connection is undeniable and yoga and mindfulness are effective in creating a greater sense of ease, peace and confidence within our selves. I incorporate psychotherapeutic yoga into the therapy session through gentle yoga postures, breathing exercises, and guided meditation and relaxation as effective tools to regulate mood, improve depression, and reduce stress and anxiety. Additionally, a consistent mindfulness practice can improve concentration, focus, sleep, and supports us in reaching health and wellness goals.

I also pull from other treatment approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which explores our thought patterns and how they affect our emotions and behaviors, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), a framework that compassionately acknowledges our human experience of having different “parts.”
