Therapy Approach

Therapy with me is co-creating a space where challenging realities can co-exist with understanding and connection with yourself and those you navigate life with.

  • with Narrative Therapy to help you make sense of your story and find meaning in life transitions and grief

  • with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to manage intense emotions and create emotional safety

  • with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to process traumatic aspects of loss and change

  • with Family Systems approach and authentic connection to support your relationships

  • with cultural humility, neurodivergent/LGBTQIA+ affirming, and disability-inclusive care that's accessible, responsive, and affirming of your full self

I believe healing is a process of becoming and I practice from a person-of-the-therapist lens, bringing my full self including my culture, values, and lived experiences into our therapeutic space. I tailor my approach to support your unique healing journey through:

I also incorporate the ADDRESSING framework (Age, Developmental and acquired Disabilities, Religion, Ethnicity, Socioeconomic status, Sexual orientation, Indigenous heritage, National origin, and Gender) to thoughtfully consider how identity, power, and lived experience shape your world.
