I aim to approach our work together with curiosity and warmth, and without judgment. I want to understand what is happening in your life and inner world now, as well as the experiences and relationships that have shaped you.​ I have a deep respect for the ways we learn to protect ourselves, even when those ways of coping are no longer serving us as they once did. Rather than trying to get rid of parts of ourselves that feel difficult, I believe there is value in understanding how they developed and what they might still be trying to do for us.​​

My approach is relational and depth-oriented. I draw from parts-based approaches, which help us better understand the conflicting feelings, needs, and impulses we can hold at the same time. I also work to build greater awareness of the mind-body connection, and together we’ll make sense of what physical sensations may be communicating. When helpful, I integrate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and cognitive behavioral (CBT) strategies to navigate overwhelming emotions and build coping skills for moments of distress.
