PERSONAL STATEMENT
If you’re used to appearing strong and functioning well on the outside while privately feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns you can’t think your way out of—you’re not alone. Many of my clients cope through achievement, intellectualizing, perfectionism, dissociation, or substances. You’ve survived by staying in your head, pushing harder, numbing, or shutting down. If this resonates, therapy can become a place to slow down, feel supported, and make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface—without pressure to perform or figure it all out alone.
Through my work providing individual and group therapy across different levels of care, I’ve witnessed how trauma, addiction, and relational wounds shape the way people adapt, seek safety, and relate to others. This has taught me that healing happens through genuine, curious, and compassionate connection—where your inner world can be seen, understood, and gently reorganized at your own pace.
My style is primarily person-centered, grounded in collaboration and attunement. I integrate CBT and DBT to support emotional regulation, boundaries, and behavior change, and incorporate trauma-sensitive yoga (TCTSY), and yogic philosophy when clients are curious, or when it clinically fits. We pay attention not only to what you think, but to how your body reacts—where it tightens, numbs, disconnects, or signals. You don’t need yoga experience; these practices simply offer another way for your body to have a voice alongside your thoughts and beliefs.
As your therapist, I aim to understand not just what you’ve lived through, but how your nervous system learned to survive it. I pay attention to who you are, the environments that shaped you, and the patterns that helped you survive. My hope is that through our work, you learn to hear your own signals more clearly, trust your intuition, and feel safer inhabiting who you really are. From that steadier place, we collaborate on building regulation, agency, and the kind of life you want to step into. When you feel ready, reach out and we can begin.
