I approach therapy through an attachment-based lens, helping clients process their experiences and gain insight into patterns that may stem from early disrupted attachments. My work is holistic, honoring each person as a whole—integrating lived experiences, cultural backgrounds, identities, and personal journeys. I also weave in the brain-mind-body connection, recognizing that they are not separate parts but one interconnected system.
As a trauma-informed therapist, I focus on techniques that gently support nervous system regulation and deepen body awareness.
Regulating our nervous system isn’t about always feeling calm—it’s about learning how to be with our emotions when we’re triggered and building resilience in those moments. It means developing the capacity to notice, understand, and respond to difficult feelings in a way that feels safe and empowering.
Together, we can work toward making peace with the past and embracing the present with safety, self-trust, and wholeness.
