The approach I take to this work has a few layers. At its core, it’s contemplative—I use curiosity and introspection to help clients become more aware of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and how these contribute to the places they feel stuck. The healthier our relationship is with these parts of ourselves, the easier they are to navigate. I place a strong emphasis on accountability, willingness, and compassion. There’s deep value in exploring where your patterns come from—how they were learned, how they’ve protected you, and how they may now be limiting you. This includes understanding the neuroscience behind them. I tailor my therapeutic interventions to support the process of rewiring your brain for greater connection, clarity, and resilience. Part of my role is to challenge you—to gently poke holes in the unhelpful stories you’ve been telling yourself about who you’re supposed to be, and to hold up an honest, loving mirror so you can see who you truly are. All of this is to help you see what I see: you, as you are, are enough.
