Rooted In Connection. Guided By Science. Centered On The Goodness In You.
Being present and connected in our therapeutic space allows me to use a blend of approaches to support you in your specific needs to meet you wherever you are at and wherever you go. We take our biggest steps to healing when held compassionately in love, care, and nurturing.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness is the practice of slowing down and coming back to the present moment. It encourages us to notice what we're thinking, feeling, and experiencing in our bodies with kindness instead of criticism. As we learn to observe our experiences with greater awareness and self-compassion, we can become less reactive, feel more grounded, and respond to life's challenges with greater clarity and intention.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Relationally Focused Psychodynamic Therapy is a talk therapy approach that recognizes the powerful role relationships play in shaping who we are, how we experience challenges, and how we heal. This approach views the relationship between therapist and client as an important part of the healing process—a space where new experiences of trust, understanding, and connection can develop.
Rather than the therapist remaining a distant observer, this contemporary approach is built on authentic, collaborative conversation. Together, we explore your experiences, patterns, emotions, and relationships with curiosity and compassion, creating opportunities for deeper understanding and meaningful change.
Inner Child Work
Inner child work is the process of reconnecting with the younger parts of yourself that carry memories, emotions, and experiences from childhood. Together, we gently explore the wounds, unmet needs, and patterns that may still be influencing how you think, feel, and relate to yourself and others today. By meeting these parts of yourself with compassion and understanding, healing and lasting change become possible.
Polyvagal Exercises & Somatic Experiencing
Polyvagal exercises are gentle, body-based practices that help support your nervous system and encourage a greater sense of safety and calm. Using techniques such as breathing, movement, sound, and mindful awareness, these exercises can help you feel more grounded, connected, and better able to navigate stress and life's challenges.
Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a gentle, body-centered approach to healing that recognizes the important connection between the mind and body. It helps people notice and work with physical sensations that can linger after stressful or overwhelming experiences. SE supports your body's natural ability to process and release stress, helping you feel more grounded, regulated, and connected to yourself. Both approaches can be a helpful addition to talk therapy.
Relational Neuroscience
Relational Neuroscience, sometimes called interpersonal neurobiology, helps us understand how our relationships shape the way our brains and nervous systems grow, adapt, and heal. It brings together research from neuroscience, psychology, and attachment theory to show that our experiences with others—especially those closest to us—play a powerful role in how we think, feel, connect, and navigate the world. In communities and systems, it uses key ideas like co-regulation, neuroception, and social integration to help groups build trust, heal from shared stress, and improve collective well-being. The therapeutic bond can be a catalyst to this work.
Self-Compassion
Self-compassion is the practice of responding to yourself with the same kindness, understanding, and care that you would offer someone you love. Instead of meeting moments of pain, struggle, or self-doubt with criticism, self-compassion invites you to acknowledge your experiences with gentleness and remember that being human means facing challenges and imperfections. This practice is rooted in three key elements: self-kindness, approaching our experiences with mindful awareness, and recognizing our shared humanity.
