I largely practice from a psychodynamic relational framework that looks at how our early childhood relationships significantly shape our blueprint of relating with others today. Psychodynamic theory looks at how you relate with others, yourself, as well as the world around you. We will also take a look at the defense mechanisms/protective factors that were established in childhood for you as a way to strategize receiving as much love as possible as well as warding off as much pain as possible.

Attachment theory looks at how we relationally attached to our primary attachment figures, our caregivers, in childhood and therefore how we generally anticipate others will show up for us relationally in our lives today. There are a few different attachment styles, and we will explore together to see what template you default towards and how this influences you in receiving love, comfort, safety, and security in your relational connections and/or what fears you have in these dynamics.

I take a relational, collaborative, and integrative approach to therapy. I artfully weave together the different modalities that I have experience in, to cater to each of my clients' needs specifically in every session. I tend towards modalities like: Psychodynamic Therapy, Attachment Theory, Trauma informed therapy, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, Somatic Therapy, and Spiritually integrated therapy for clients who it is fitting for.

Anxiety can feel like a constant state of restlessness, threat, unsafety, and fear. It can feel like a powerful force that prevents us from deeply connecting to our core sense of self. I believe that the opposite of anxiety is trust, and that slowly helping you build a sense of self-trust, safety, security, and love from the inside out can offer a relief from the anxiety you may feel invading your life. I desire to support you in your own unique experience of anxiety to find a sense of wholeness

While I believe that we are all spiritual beings, it is most important for me to be an open minded student about whatever beliefs and values my clients hold. I am open to working with all people. Whatever your walk of life, culture, race, gender, sexual-orientation, or spirituality, I would love to collaborate with you in therapy towards healing, wholeness, and what you believe is" the good life".

Trauma can be experienced on a continuum from little "t" to big "T" trauma, and maybe you notice trauma in the past getting in the way in the present. Gabor Mate says, "Trauma is what happened inside you as a result of what happened to you." This means that due to a traumatic event, a wound of disconnection from ourselves and from others relationally, occurred inside, and this can be repaired in the present within safe relationships where others witness our trauma, help us process and heal.
