My Approach

Survival may have cost you your safety, your choice, and your voice. Restoration starts with the way we approach therapy itself.

  • Your Safety

    We won’t sacrifice safety for progress.

    We’ll pay attention to your nervous system and build safety and steadiness into our work as we approach difficult parts of your story. We can slow down, pause, or find another way forward when we need to.

  • Your Choice

    You have a say in what happens here.

    Ask questions. Slow down. Revisit something. Tell me when something doesn’t fit. You have a say not only in where we begin, but where we go next.

  • Your Voice

    There are no perfect words here.

    We’ll fumble through them together until we find what fits. And when words aren’t available, that’s okay. Silence, tears, sighs, anger, or laughter work here too.

When you’re ready, I am too →

Your story is uniquely yours, and the way we understand it should be too.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I see you as a whole person, not just what brought you to therapy. 

As we consider the experiences, relationships, and beliefs that have shaped you, we’ll explore how they show up in your life today through a variety of lenses:

  • Attachment-Based

    Your earliest relationships influenced what you learned to expect from closeness, trust, and connection. They also shaped how you learned to respond when those things didn’t feel secure.

  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) 

    Sometimes distressing memories and experiences can feel “stuck.” EMDR helps your brain reprocess them so they have less impact on your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and daily life.

  • Faith-Informed

    Your spiritual beliefs and experiences can be an important part of your story. We’ll make space for them in ways that align with your preferences and goals.

  • Family Systems Therapy

    Your experiences are often best understood within the context of your family system. We’ll zoom in and out as we explore the roles, rules, and boundaries that shaped how you learned to view yourself and others.

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS)

    Even the parts of you that you wish were different may have developed to keep you safe. We’ll approach them with curiosity and compassion, looking to understand what they’ve protected you from and what they may need now.

  • Narrative Therapy 

    You are more than the challenges you’ve faced, the things you’ve done, or the labels you’ve been given. Together, we’ll explore the meaning you’ve made of your experiences while honoring your strengths, values, and who you are.

As a therapist, it is a privilege to be trusted with some of the most vulnerable and meaningful moments of your life.

That privilege comes with a commitment to humility and lifelong learning. I continually invest in advanced training, consultation, and education while maintaining a focused caseload so I can provide the time, attention, and thoughtfulness you deserve.

As I invite you to show up authentically, I commit to doing the same.

My hope is that our work becomes a place where you feel deeply seen, safely challenged, and genuinely supported as you move toward the life you want to create.
