I approach therapy from an integrative lens, working with each client to find the method for their specific needs. I utilize imaginative art, play, dance, music and games to build the therapeutic relationship and help clients explore their inner worlds. I also incorporate CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), mindfulness techniques, and teach emotional skills to help my clients express their feelings in a safe container and learn how to cope when they feel overwhelmed. As an ecotherapist, I encourage children to be curious about the world, both their inner world and the world around them.

My experience working in a preschool has influenced my therapeutic technique. My style is playful, imaginative, supportive, and empathetic. I make therapy fun for kids, while providing a safe space for them to explore their feelings and learn tools so they become equipped to handle all of life’s challenges.

With adults, my therapeutic approach is compassionate, supportive, and trauma-informed. I utilize CBT and narrative techniques to support my clients in telling their story while utilizing mindfulness tools such as meditation and breathing exercises to help cope with challenging emotions. I am a firm believer in the mind-body connection and integrate somatic exercises to support holistic healing. I’m trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and BSP (Brainspotting).
