My Approach

I believe therapy works best when we have space to be curious - about ourselves, our relationships, our patterns, and the ways we move through the world.  

My approach is person- centered and collaborative.  Rather than relaying on one way of doing therapy, I draw from a range of approaches and adapt the work to the person in front of me. 

I'm particularly interested in the connection between emotional well-being, physical health, lifestyle, creativity, and the whole person.  Sometimes insight comes through conversation.  Sometimes it comes through movement, making something, changing a habit, paying attention to the body, or simply having the space to slow down and notice what is happening. 

Mind and Body

We don't experience our lives from the neck up.  

Our bodies, emotions, thoughts, relationships, environments, and daily habits are constantly interacting.  I believe therapy can benefit from paying attention to those connections. 

This might mean exploring how stress shows up in your body, looking at the role of movement and daily routines, incorporating creative expression, or simply becoming more aware of what your body is telling you.  

The goal isn't to add one more thing to your to-do list.   It's to discover what helps you feel more connected to yourself and more engaged in your life.  

A Flexible, Individualized Approach 

There isn't a single therapeutic approach that works for everyone.  

My clinical experience includes mind-body approaches, grief and loss, lifestyle medicine, expressive arts and movement, solution-focused theory, and person-centered practice.  I draw from these perspectives based on your needs, goals, and preferences.  

I don't believe you need to fit yourself into a particular model of therapy.  The therapy should fit the person. 

Sometimes, We Need To Get Moving

Have you ever noticed that some of your best conversations happen while walking?

There's something about moving through the world together that can make conversations feel more natural.  For some people, incorporating movement into therapy can create a different kind of space for reflection and connection. 

Walk-and-talk therapy is one option I may offer when it is clinically appropriate and fits the work we're doing together.
