About
My passion lies in fostering a non-judgmental environment to explore your patterns and experiences. I bring a blend of warmth, empathy, and occasional humor to our sessions, helping you process life challenges with more groundedness and resilience. I particularly enjoy working with adolescent clients and adults ages 18-40, and I have a special interest in life transitions, relationships, family-of-origin wounds, and trauma. Other areas of interest include anxiety, people-pleasing, ADHD, women's issues, coping and communication skills, codependency, career guidance, stress management, and self-esteem cultivation. In our sessions, Internal Family Systems and Attachment Theory inform my therapeutic approach, allowing us to explore current patterns and challenges through the lens of your past experiences. I often integrate somatic techniques and knowledge from Yogic philosophy, Feminist Theory, CBT, and DBT.
