My therapeutic approach is grounded in a trauma-informed framework. Past experiences can leave lasting feelings of self-doubt, shame, anger, and challenges with setting boundaries. With greater insight, clients are able to develop assurance in their decisions and embrace their most genuine self. I integrate attachment theory, psychodynamic principles, cognitive behavioral techniques, and neuroeducation to facilitate internal safety and self-acceptance. Trust is of utmost importance within the therapeutic relationship, which is why I aim to create a sense of transparency that involves open communication. It is helpful to begin therapy by addressing the challenges you are currently facing and work together to develop practical coping strategies. This process will lay the foundation for a more in-depth exploration of your experience as therapy progresses. Using a collaborative approach, we can examine and reflect on your personal narrative in a way that feels empowering.
