My Therapeutic Approach
There is no single approach to therapy that works for everyone. Each client brings a unique set of experiences, needs, and goals to the process. While I draw from evidence-based therapeutic modalities to inform our work, I believe the most important factor in successful therapy is the quality of the relationship between client and therapist. Trust, connection, and collaboration form the foundation of our work together. Below, you’ll find the core therapeutic frameworks that shape my client-centered approach and guide the steps we take to support meaningful, lasting growth.
I
Eclectic Therapy
Eclectic therapy is grounded in the belief that integrating theories and techniques from a broad range of evidence-based modalities allows for a more individualized, adaptive, flexible, holistic, and effective approach to treatment. Rather than relying on a single school of thought, this method draws from various proven therapeutic models to create a personalized path to healing that meets your unique needs. This flexibility allows for deeper alignment between what you’re experiencing and how we work together in therapy. To learn more about the specific therapeutic modalities I use, click here.

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
Psychodynamic therapy is rooted in the idea that our early relationships and childhood experiences—especially with caregivers—deeply shape how we relate to ourselves and others as adults. In our work together, we’ll explore how unconscious processes such as memories, defense mechanisms, and internalized patterns influence your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors today. By bringing these underlying dynamics into awareness, we can begin to untangle old patterns and make space for new, more intentional ways of being.
II
Humanistic Psychotherapy
Humanistic therapy is grounded in the belief that each person holds an innate capacity for growth, self-awareness, and meaningful change. I view clients as the experts of their own lives, and my role is to walk alongside you in the process of self-discovery—not to direct it. Through a warm, authentic therapeutic relationship, we’ll work together to cultivate deeper self-acceptance, reconnect with your core values, and support you in showing up more fully as your authentic self in the present moment.
IV
Social Justice Oriented Therapy
A social justice-oriented approach to therapy recognizes that our mental health is deeply impacted by the broader systems we live within. This perspective invites us to explore how societal structures, policies, and cultural narratives shape individual experiences of stress, trauma, and identity. Together, we’ll name and examine these external influences while also building tools for self-advocacy, resilience, and empowerment—honoring both your personal healing and our collective wellbeing.
