My therapeutic approach
Licensed therapist in Carlsbad CA & online in CA, AZ, WA, OR
What makes my approach distinct
From the very first session, I empower you to direct your own healing journey.
My clients are proactive, reflective, and motivated to grow. They come to therapy with an intention for the session—questions, insights, thoughts, or memories they’d like to explore. Together, we make the most of our time, while I provide education, reflection, guidance, and support along the way.
The frameworks I draw from
I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. Instead, I draw from a variety of integrative approaches to meet you where you are, heal old wounds, and empower you in the present:
-
Jungian Psychology
Working with dreams, symbols, and the unconscious to uncover insights, foster self-awareness, and support meaningful personal growth
-
Contemplative Psychology
Blending Buddhist wisdom with Western psychology to cultivate insight, compassion, and mindful awareness
-
Parts work
Exploring and healing the different “parts” of you with compassion
-
Somatic Psychology
Working with the nervous system to address trauma and regulate the body
-
Attachment Theory
Understanding the impact of relationships on how you connect and trust today
-
Creative Therapy
Practices to deepen presence, gain clarity, and develop self-compassion such as movement, visualization, breath work, oracle cards, sand tray therapy, meditation, and mindfulness therapy
What this might look like
No two therapy sessions are the same, but you can expect:
Space to bring your own focus and intentions each week
Guidance to help you recognize and shift unhelpful patterns
Somatic practices to calm the nervous system and anchor into the present
Mindfulness and meditation tools you can take with you outside of sessions
Exploration of inner parts, such as the critic, caretaker, or protector
Reflection and education to help you better understand yourself and your nervous system
My clients
I work with women who are insightful, driven, and motivated—even if they don’t always feel that way. They come to therapy ready to take charge of their healing, to do the work outside of sessions, and to approach mindfulness as a pathway to growth.
It’s a profound privilege to sit with clients as they move from pain and disconnection into clarity, empowerment, and self-trust.
