My Approach to Psychotherapy 

​

Healing is not one-size-fits-all. What it looks like is unique to each person and can change over time. While therapy with me is individual, I see healing as connected to all parts of life: how we relate to ourselves, to others, and to the world around us. This includes our connection with nature, spirituality or a higher power, nourishment, loss/impermanence, and life’s natural cycles, as well as our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

​

We don’t heal in isolation. We heal in relationship.

​

My work is shaped by both professional training and my own lived experience of change, loss, and growth. Throughout my life, I’ve found that when I felt stuck, approaching things from a new perspective helped create movement and meaning. 

​

Depending on your needs, we may draw from:

​

• Mindfulness-Based Self-Compassion (MBSC)

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

• Ecopsychotherapy and nature-based reflection

• Nutritional therapy 

• Art and creative expression

• Bibliotherapy (healing through stories and reading)​

​

These are not rigid techniques, but lenses—ways of seeing and relating differently to thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and experiences that are both personal and universal.

​

Therapy is a collaborative process. Together, we may explore:

​

• Your relationship with yourself and your inner voice

• How you relate to emotions, thoughts, and behaviors

• Patterns in relationships 

• Your connection to nature, spirituality, or meaning

• The impact of loss, change, and life transitions

• How nourishment, rest, and creativity support your wellbeing

​

The goal is not perfection, but awareness, flexibility, and compassion.

 

An Invitation

Therapy is a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect—with yourself and with what matters most to you. You don’t have to do this alone.
