As a relational therapist, I believe that healing happens in relationship. Our sense of self is shaped, in large part, through our earliest relational experiences, and it is also within relationship that repair and change can occur. When we are deeply seen, heard, and met by another -- sometimes for the first time ever -- our inner world often begins to feel more organized and the healing process naturally emerges. As Sue Johnson emphasizes, real change happens not from being told new ideas, but from feeling new emotional experiences in a safe, attuned relationship. 

I also attend to the wisdom of the body in my work. A somatic approach recognizes that our experiences live not only in thoughts and emotions, but also in physical sensations, movement, and patterns within the nervous system. By slowing down and bringing mindful awareness to the body, we can access layers of experience that often remain unspoken, gently bringing what has been implicit into awareness. This process supports regulation and allows insight and transformation to unfold in an integrated and embodied way.

Depth-oriented work explores the patterns that have shaped our inner life and the ways we relate to others. It offers space to reflect on early experiences, recurring themes, and unconscious dynamics that often guide our thoughts, feelings, sensations, and choices without our awareness. By gently bringing these influences into view, our work together will support shifts that are enduring, nuanced, and rooted in a richer understanding of yourself.
