My Approach

Hardwired into human biology is the need to be seen, known, heard, loved and belong. In session, I aim to cultivate a safe and supportive space that intrinsically lends itself to meeting those needs. Therapy is a vulnerable experience—my commitment to you is to foster a therapeutic relationship characterized by trust, empathy, presence, connection, validation, and unconditional positive regard. My hope for you is that our time together becomes a safe harbor that encourages authenticity, curiosity, self-awareness, vulnerability, and models secure relating—guiding you on your homeward bound path within.

Types of Therapy

  • Interpersonal Neurobiology: This an integrated approach from several disciplines of therapy that helps you to understand the connection between your mind, body, and emotions in relationships.

  • EMDR: This is a highly structured framework oriented toward reprocessing trauma.

  • Attachment-Focused Therapy: This approach helps you to understand your early developmental/attachment experiences and how the patterns learned from those experiences show up in current relationships.

  • Parts Work: This approach helps you to understand the different aspects of your personality and learn how to integrate them.

  • Existential Approach: This approach helps you to explore concepts like the meaning of life, death, freedom, responsibility, and your place in the world.

Nature-Based Therapy

I received a Master’s Degree in Nature-Based Therapy (NBT) from Naropa University in Boulder, CO. Nature-Based Therapy is an approach that supports individuals in reconnecting with themselves and others by cultivating a reciprocal relationship with the natural world in personally meaningful ways. The opportunities are endless in a therapeutic context—examples include mindful “walk and talks” in the park, discovering a sit-spot, caring for plants, exploring sensory awareness outdoors/indoors, or simply utilizing metaphors from the natural world to help us make sense and navigate complex challenges. Each experience offers a gentle invitation toward renewed connection with the self, others, and the natural world.
