My Approach
My intention is to help you reconnect deeply with yourself—mind, body, and spirit—meeting you where you are and discovering together what best supports your healing and growth. I help people make meaning of their experiences through a trauma-informed, feminist, and systemic lens—recognizing how personal pain and collective conditions are deeply intertwined. My work is rooted in a mind-body approach, integrating somatic therapies, hypnotherapy, IFS/parts work, mindfulness, existential inquiry, attachment theory, and neuroscience. This holistic integration allows us to work with the whole of who you are—body, mind, and spirit.

At the heart of this process is the practice of inner compassion and self-acceptance. Many of us have been conditioned to judge ourselves harshly and to silence our own needs. When we begin to meet ourselves with kindness, understanding, and curiosity, we open the door to deeper awareness and healing. Compassion allows us to move through challenge with more ease and grace, softening the inner resistance that keeps us stuck.​ Cultivating compassion and curiosity not only expands self-awareness, but also empowers us to break free from automatic, conditioned patterns. From this place of awareness, we can begin to respond consciously, guided not by fear or habit, but by intuition, clarity, and self-trust.
​
In the Western world, we’ve often been taught to prioritize the intellect—living primarily in our heads—while neglecting the profound intelligence that lives within our bodies. Yet the body carries its own form of wisdom, speaking a language that goes beyond logic. When we learn to listen to these inner signals, we reconnect with our intuition—the quiet, steady voice of truth that has always been within us.​ I will help you return to this inner knowing, guiding you to explore not only the mind, but also the messages that arise from the deeper intelligence within. Through this process, you begin to rebuild self-trust—the foundation of authentic power. You remember that you are your own best guide, that your body’s wisdom is a compass, and that you already hold the answers you seek within.
I deeply value helping individuals connect with their spiritual selves, whether through nature, art, dance, nurturing the Earth, connecting with the moon's cycles, building community, exploring ancestral backgrounds or any other ways that one feels called to. Spirituality can be an integral part of growth. Offering a deeper sense of meaning, purpose, and connection to something larger than ourselves. I believe that on the journey of self-discovery, it’s important to invite in creativity, joy and humor. I enjoy incorporating these elements, along with whatever else resonates most with my clients.
Above all, the quality of our relationship is essential to this process. A willingness to collaborate and be authentic with one another is crucial. This process only works when you feel comfortable and safe in my presence. My role is to provide a compassionate, safe, loving and non-judgmental space where you can express your thoughts, feelings, and concerns freely. I hold great respect for the bravery it takes to open your heart in this way, and I carry deep gratitude for the trust my clients place in me and our work together. I encourage anyone seeking support to explore different options and find someone they feel safe and secure with. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out.
