My approach to therapy is depth-oriented.  While I do not believe that insight in and of itself is curative, I do believe it’s a necessary first step in the healing process.  Once we gain insight into the roots of our problems, we can begin to respond intentionally when in a state of emotional flashback rather than automatically reacting with fight, flight, freeze or fawn.  I believe in the power of truly feeling through our emotions and in creating a safe space for my clients to do just that.  My approach stems from a wide range of theories, and because each person is unique, the approach I use with every client is specifically tailored to that individual.

I believe that each and every person has limitless potential to heal and grow.  It is my honor to walk beside my clients on their path and to help them to find the wisdom in their own inner voice.
