A grounded space for taking the next step and rediscovering who you are.
Healing happens in connection, which is why my first priority is building a space where you feel completely seen, safe, and understood. Your entire story matters here. I also love to laugh with my clients, because humor is an incredibly powerful tool for releasing tension and building resilience. Together, we'll navigate the heaviest parts of your story while still finding moments of levity along the way.
As a trauma-informed therapist, I recognize that you are a whole person. I understand how deeply our mental health is impacted by our culture, our backgrounds, and the generational loads we carry. Because of this, my approach is holistic. We look at the full picture of your life to honor where you've been and where you want to go.
Within this safe space, I draw from powerful, evidence-based frameworks to build a toolkit tailored exactly to what you need:
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
We know we can't simply "think" our way out of trauma when it is stuck in the body. As an ART-trained clinician, I utilize this brief, evidence-based therapy to help you process painful memories without forcing you to talk about the details. Using visualization and guided eye movements, ART helps "reprogram" how distressing images are stored in the brain. We focus on recalibrating your nervous system and replacing negative images with positive ones, allowing you to find rapid relief and emotional freedom.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Success shouldn't mean sacrificing your soul. Integrating the principles of ACT, we cut through the noise of societal expectations to get crystal clear on your core values. By building mindfulness and learning to accept difficult emotions without judgment, you will gain the psychological flexibility to navigate stress and make choices that genuinely align with what matters to you.
Narrative Therapy
The pain of past grief, relational shifts, or generational trauma does not define you. Together, we’ll explore the stories you’ve been handed by your family, culture, or your own inner critic. By reframing these narratives, we can break old cycles and rewrite your script in a way that reflects your unique potential, clarity, and resilience.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
The pressure of midlife transitions and high expectations can sometimes make emotions feel too intense to manage. Drawing on nearly a decade of experience utilizing DBT in intensive clinical settings, I integrate these practical tools to help you regulate overwhelming responses. You’ll gain actionable skills to tolerate distress, improve your relationships, and navigate life’s hurdles with greater balance and control.
Start by asking a few questions
You don’t need all the answers to begin. Just start by sharing what’s on your mind, what you’re feeling and experiencing. Together, we can figure out a path that works for you and get you moving forward in the right direction.
