How I Work
My approach is fundamentally relational. This means we pay close attention to relationships—your relationships with others, with yourself, and the relationship we build together in therapy.
A relational approach also means I show up as a real person in the room: engaged, thoughtful, and, when it feels helpful, transparent about what I’m noticing and thinking. I invite you to do the same, at your own pace.
Research consistently shows that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is one of the strongest predictors of meaningful change—often more so than any specific technique. Because of that, I prioritize creating a space where you feel seen, understood, and able to be fully yourself.
Modalities That Inform My Work
While the relationship is central, I also draw from several therapeutic frameworks to guide the work:
Relational Therapy
Depth Psychotherapy
Parts Work (IFS-informed)
Systems-Oriented Therapy
You’re welcome to explore these approaches further if you’re curious about what resonates with you.
What This Looks Like in Practice
In a typical session, we start with whatever feels most present for you. From there, we explore together.
My role is to help you feel heard and understood, while also noticing patterns and connections—especially between past experiences and what’s happening in your life now. When I notice something, I’ll often share it and check in about whether it resonates with you.
At times, this might also include more concrete support, like problem-solving, relationship reflection, or experimenting with new ways of responding.
The Goal of the Work
On the surface, the work can feel simple: showing up, talking, noticing. At the same time, it’s often layered and complex.
My goal is to create enough safety and spaciousness for you to be fully human in the room. When that kind of space is built together, it often extends beyond therapy—into how you relate to yourself and others in your daily life.
While symptom relief is part of the process, I’m also interested in something deeper: helping you move toward greater meaning, authenticity, and self-understanding.
A Good Fit
Clients who tend to benefit most from this work are those who are willing to be curious, patient, and engaged in the process—even when it feels uncertain or slow at times.
