About My Clients

Do you respond to situations in ways that do not always feel authentic to you, or do you reflect later and wonder why you acted in a certain way? Have there been times where you do not feel in control of your actions in relationships? Our lived experiences have an impact on our automatic thoughts and reactions, however we can regain control of ourselves and function from an authentic place.

My Background and Approach

I focus on attachment, the physical response to emotions, and emotion regulation to help people be attuned to their true self. I use genograms to look at generational patterns that are preventing growth, and then address those patterns through interventions that are tailored to the specific individual I'm working with. I work with shame, negative narratives, attachment wounds, familiar conflict and cut-offs, familial trauma and familial secrets. I view the individual in the context of their larger lived experience (think of all the influences from the outside world on the individual thought process). My approach to therapy is collaborative, with a focus on self-exploration, increasing insight, and empowering a person to be the best version of themselves.
