How does person-centered therapy work and how can it help?
Person-centered therapy is built around the belief that you already carry a lot of wisdom about yourself, even if old wounds, anxiety, grief, trauma, or self-doubt have made that hard to access. In our work together, I focus on creating a safe, honest, and supportive relationship where you can feel understood without judgment.
Rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all approach, we move at a pace that feels respectful to you. I listen closely, help you notice patterns, and support you in reconnecting with your own voice, needs, and values. At the same time, I am not afraid to gently challenge old patterns when they are keeping you stuck.
This approach can help you build self-trust, strengthen self-worth, improve relationships, process painful experiences, and feel more grounded in who you are.
I work with individuals who may have felt discouraged or unsuccessful in therapy before and are looking for a different kind of therapeutic experience. My approach is warm, relational, and collaborative, while also offering gentle challenge when old patterns are no longer serving you.
I support clients navigating complex trauma, single-event trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, relationship and communication challenges, and struggles with self-worth. I believe the therapeutic relationship is central to meaningful healing, and I strive to create a space where clients feel deeply understood, respected, and supported as they explore difficult experiences and build new ways of relating to themselves and others.
My work is trauma-informed and integrates somatic approaches, parts work, and Brainspotting to help clients process experiences not only cognitively, but also through the body and nervous system. I also have years of experience and training in Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy, which can offer a powerful, experiential path for clients seeking deeper emotional awareness, connection, and healing.Psychotherapy.
