She brings a trauma-informed, culturally responsive approach to her work and has over 18 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families across a wide range of clinical settings.
MY APPROACH
Collaborative.
Individualized.
Thoughtfully Paced.
Her clinical approach is collaborative and individualized, integrating talk therapy with body-based and nervous system–informed methods. She is trained in Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) through Level 3 and incorporates principles of the Alexander Technique for somatic interweaving, supporting the gentle deconstruction of bracing and armoring that can develop in response to trauma. This approach allows clients to work with both cognitive and physical patterns in a way that feels paced and embodied.
