Healing the Whole You.
You are more than a diagnosis, a behavior, or a life story.
You are a whole person.
In my practice, I take a wholistic approach to therapy. That means we won’t just look at one part of you in isolation. We’ll explore how your mind, body, emotions, relationships, past experiences, and environment all weave together to shape your current experience.
Wholism recognizes that healing doesn’t happen in a vacuum.
Anxiety might be linked to chronic stress in your body.
Depression might be entangled with disconnection from your values or community.
Trauma might live not just in memories, but in your nervous system.
By attending to all aspects of yourself—your thoughts, sensations, identity, and context—we create a deeper, more sustainable path to healing.
Whether we’re reprocessing a difficult memory, working with bodily awareness, or reimagining how you relate to the world around you, we’re always honoring the full complexity of who you are.
You don’t have to compartmentalize yourself here.
You get to bring your whole Self to therapy.
We meet that Self with deep care and respect.
Rain or Shine.
Modalities and Philosophies
Mindfulness
In a world that constantly pulls us into the past or the future, mindfulness invites us back to what is here right now.
Mindfulness is the practice of paying attention, on purpose, with kindness. In therapy, it helps us slow down and notice what’s actually happening in your thoughts, your body, and your emotions—without immediately reacting or judging.
That awareness can be incredibly healing.
When we bring mindfulness into therapy, we build your ability to stay present with yourself, even in discomfort. We create space between stimulus and response. And we uncover what’s often hidden beneath automatic habits or overwhelming feelings.
Whether we’re using breath, body awareness, grounding techniques, or mindful reflection, the goal isn’t to “empty your mind.” It’s to reconnect with yourself, your inner experience, and the choices you have in any moment.
Mindfulness isn’t about getting rid of pain. It’s about learning to meet it with more clarity, compassion, and resilience.
Parts Work
Parts work, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), is a powerful, compassionate approach to therapy that helps you understand the different “parts” or subpersonalities within you.
These parts may hold different emotions, beliefs, or roles—like the inner critic, the people-pleaser, the angry protector, the scared child. Each part has its own story, and often, its own reason for being.
Rather than trying to silence or fight these parts, IFS invites us to get to know them with curiosity and care. When we do, we often discover that even the most challenging parts are trying to help or protect you in some way—they’re just stuck in roles that no longer serve you.
In therapy, we work to create more connection between these parts and your core Self—the calm, compassionate, grounded center of who you are. From that place, deep healing and internal harmony become possible.
You don’t have to get rid of any part of you. You just need the space to listen, understand, and lead from your Self.
Sensorimotor Psychotherapy
Talk therapy can be powerful—but sometimes words alone aren’t enough.
Somatic therapy is a body-based approach that recognizes the deep connection between your physical body and your emotional experiences. It’s based on the understanding that trauma, stress, and emotional pain don’t just live in our thoughts—they live in our nervous systems, our muscles, and our felt sense of safety.
In somatic therapy, we slow down and tune in. You’ll learn to notice what’s happening in your body—tension, breath, sensations, impulses—and explore what those signals might be telling you.
Together, we work gently with these experiences to release stored stress, increase regulation, and help you feel more grounded in your own skin.
Whether you’ve experienced trauma, struggle with anxiety, or simply feel disconnected from your body, somatic therapy offers a path to healing that honors your whole being—not just your mind, but your lived, embodied experience.
Spirituality
Whether your spirituality is rooted in a religious tradition, a connection to nature, ancestral practices, or a personal sense of meaning, it can be a powerful source of guidance, strength, and healing. In therapy, we can include that part of you.
Spirituality in counseling isn’t about imposing any belief system—it’s about creating space for yours.
If spirituality plays a role in how you understand yourself, your suffering, or your growth, we can explore that together with care and respect. And if you’re feeling disconnected from your spiritual life or asking bigger questions about purpose and identity, therapy can be a safe place to do that searching.
Integrating the spiritual dimension can support a deeper kind of healing—one that helps you not just cope, but connect. To your values. To your inner wisdom. To something larger than yourself.
You don’t have to leave your spirituality at the door. You can bring your whole self here—including the parts that seek wonder, meaning, or transcendence.
Nonjudgment
So much of our suffering comes from judgment of ourselves, of our emotions, of our past. Therapy doesn’t have to be another place where you feel like you have to “get it right.”
In this space, nonjudgment is not just a practice—it’s a principle. You don’t need to censor your thoughts, hide your feelings, or apologize for who you are. Whatever you bring into the room—anger, fear, numbness, confusion, hope—is welcome.
When we let go of judgment, we make room for honesty and self-compassion. We begin to understand, rather than criticize. We can look at patterns and pain without rushing to label them as “bad” or “wrong.” This creates a more honest, gentle environment where real change becomes possible.
Nonjudgment doesn’t mean we avoid accountability or ignore what’s not working. It means we approach everything with curiosity, care, and a commitment to seeing the full picture of who you are—not just the parts you’ve been taught are acceptable.
You’ve spent enough time judging yourself.
Therapy should be where you finally get to exhale.
Curiosity
At the heart of meaningful therapy is curiosity—not just from your therapist, but from you, too.
Curiosity invites us to explore, rather than judge. It shifts the focus from “What’s wrong with me?” to “What’s happening here?” That subtle change opens the door to real insight and healing. When we approach our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors with curiosity instead of shame or avoidance, we create space for compassion, understanding, and growth.
Curiosity is what makes therapy not just effective, but transformative.
It keeps us open. It helps us notice.
And it builds a foundation of trust with yourself, where lasting change begins.
“Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue, a wonderful living side by side can grow, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky.”
— Rainer Maria Rilke
