Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy combines principles of cognitive therapy with mindfulness practices to help clients recognize and shift unhelpful thought patterns. By cultivating present-moment awareness and self-compassion, MBCT supports emotional regulation, reduces rumination, and helps prevent depressive or anxious relapse. This approach encourages clients to observe their inner experiences without judgment, creating space for clarity and choice.

I specialize in aiding those who have survived abuse, such as narcissistic abuse, childhood and sexual abuse, and spiritual/religious abuse. The aim of this work might include self-discovery, cutting ties, rebuilding confidence, healing trauma, rebuilding fiances and self-esteem, finding community support, and mending tethered relationships with family and friends.

I specialize in supporting survivors of emotional, psychological, spiritual and narcissistic (antagonistic) abuse. My work focuses on helping clients rebuild trust in themselves, understand trauma responses, and release patterns of self-blame and shame. Through a depth-oriented and somatic approach, I support the integration of mind, body, and narrative to foster empowerment, clarity, and healing after coercive or chronically invalidating relationships.

My psychodynamic approach is rooted in Jungian psychology, which views symptoms and emotional patterns as meaningful expressions of the unconscious. I help clients explore dreams, symbols, and inner conflicts to uncover the deeper narratives shaping their lives. This work supports integration of the shadow, development of self-awareness, and a sense of wholeness that honors both the psychological and spiritual dimensions of healing.

I specialize in reproductive mental health, including PMDD, postpartum mood and anxiety disorders, hormonal transitions, and the emotional impacts of the menstrual cycle. My work also supports individuals navigating trauma, relationship patterns, and identity shifts related to body, gender, and fertility.

I specialize in working with individuals and partners exploring ethical non-monogamy (ENM), open relationships, and alternative relationship structures. My approach emphasizes communication, boundaries, emotional regulation, and self-awareness within complex relational dynamics. I provide a nonjudgmental space to navigate attachment patterns, jealousy, autonomy, and connection through an affirming and trauma-informed lens.

Holistic therapy honors the connection between mind, body, and spirit in the healing process. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, it considers emotional, physical, relational, and environmental factors that shape well-being. My approach integrates depth psychology, somatic awareness, and natural healing practices to support balance and self-understanding. Holistic therapy invites clients to reconnect with their bodies, intuition, and inner wisdom as essential parts of psychological healing.
