My Therapy Philosophy: Nurturing All Parts

My Therapy Focus:

  • Somatic Relationship Counseling

  • Holistic Addiction Counseling

  • Alternative Approaches to Anxiety & Depression

I believe therapy should honor the full complexity of what it means to be human. True healing is not simply about managing symptoms or changing thoughts—it’s about becoming more connected to yourself. My approach is integrative, rooted in the understanding that meaningful change happens when the body, mind, and emotional system are engaged together.

Many people come to therapy carrying stories that aren’t just cognitive—they’re held in the body, shaped by past relationships, and reinforced by nervous system patterns that once served as protection. I work from a trauma-informed, somatic foundation that helps clients develop awareness of these patterns, not to pathologize them, but to understand how they have been adaptive. Healing, then, is not about fixing yourself—it’s about reclaiming parts of yourself that became hidden, hardened, or quieted along the way.

In our work together, I draw from multiple modalities—attachment theory, somatic therapy, parts work, and cognitive approaches—but I’m most interested in what helps you feel safe enough to explore, connected enough to feel, and empowered enough to change. Therapy should feel practical and transformative, offering insight, yes, but also helping you build internal resources to navigate life with more clarity and ease.

My commitment is to meet you as a whole person. That means honoring your physical, emotional, relational, and existential layers—not as separate parts, but as an interconnected system with wisdom and potential. Healing is not linear, and therapy isn’t about arriving at perfection—it’s about expanding your capacity to live from a more authentic, regulated, and grounded place.
