About Me:
My greatest joy comes from spending time with my family, finding grounding in music and nature, and pursuing lifelong personal growth. I bring warmth, empathy, and genuine positivity into every therapeutic relationship, ensuring you feel seen, valued, and supported.
My Philosophy:
A Human Partnership Therapy shouldn't feel clinical or one-sided. I deconstruct rigid hierarchies in favor of a real, collaborative partnership. Drawing from Attachment-Focused, Relational-Cultural, and Existential therapies, I show up as a genuine "fellow traveler" without a professional mask. Together, we build a secure, transparent, and validating space to repair old wounds and foster growth.
Why This Collaborative Approach Works:
Research shows the therapeutic relationship is the strongest predictor of positive outcomes. By prioritizing a warm, egalitarian alliance, we facilitate:
- Corrective Emotional Experience: Real-time safety, trust, and reliability.
- Reduced Shame: An egalitarian environment that demystifies therapy.
- Co-Regulation: A shared space to safely process intense emotions.
Areas of Specialization:
With over two decades of clinical experience, I specialize in:
- Complex life transitions and relationship dynamics
- Trauma recovery, grief, and loss
- Emotional regulation and reclaiming personal autonomy
- Neurodivergent-affirming care (including self-identified individuals)
My Therapeutic Toolkit:
I tailor evidence-based modalities to your unique needs, drawing from:
- Attachment & Trauma: Attachment-Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT).
- Behavioral & Acceptance: CBT, DBT, ACT, and Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT).
- Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy: Specialized preparation and integration for transformative healing.
What Sets My Practice Apart:
At my practice's core is the PACE model—utilizing Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, and Empathy—to co-create a judgment-free space. By combining relational depth with cutting-edge approaches like psychedelic-assisted integration, we facilitate lasting, transformative change.
If you are looking for a collaborative, authentic, and deeply human space to heal, I invite you to reach out. Let’s navigate this path together.
