Much of my work is with people who have lived at the intersections of multiple identities, and who have learned to stay vigilant, overfunction, or self-abandon in order to survive. Many clients come to me carrying not only the weight of life experiences, but also harm from previous helping spaces — having felt rushed, pathologized, misunderstood, or pushed beyond what felt safe.
My approach is relational, collaborative, and paced with intention. Rather than focusing on quick fixes or insight without safety, I prioritize building a steady therapeutic relationship where care unfolds in a way that respects your nervous system, context, and lived experience. I pay close attention to power, consent, and pacing, and I work in ways that honor both personal history and the broader systems that shape our lives.
I draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Therapy, Brainspotting, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and existential and narrative approaches. These frameworks support deep, body-aware, and meaning-centered work — especially for people navigating identity shifts, relational wounds, and long-standing patterns rooted in survival.
Therapy with me is not about fixing you. It’s about creating space to slow down, listen differently, and reconnect with parts of yourself that may have had to stay quiet for a long time. My goal is to offer care that feels grounded, respectful, and genuinely human.
