My approach to therapy is rooted in creativity, expression, and a blend of deep, reflective work with practical, real-world strategies. I believe therapy should be both curious and grounded—an exploration of your inner world while also tackling the everyday challenges you’re facing.
I believe therapy is an art form. It’s dynamic, intuitive, and constantly evolving. Everyone brings their own rhythm, background, and emotionality to the work, so I try to stay flexible—paying attention to timing, structure, spontaneity, and what each moment calls for. The therapeutic relationship itself can be a powerful space for connection and discovery, where both comfort and discomfort reveal important pieces of who we are.
I incorporate creative tools like art, drama, imagination, dreams, and intuition to help people move beyond stuck patterns or rigid narratives about themselves and their lives. At the same time, I also believe in being direct and solution-focused when it’s needed, especially confronting elements of who we are that we have unconsciously avoided. I aim to support a deeper connection between mind and body, help clarify emotional and relational needs, and encourage honest self-expression. My hope is that therapy helps you feel more connected to who you are—more grounded, more trusting of your emotions, and more balanced overall.
I currently focus on working with grief and loss, existential and spiritual issues, medical and health-related challenges, trauma, family-of-origin issues, and cultural identity conflicts.
