What should a new client know about working with you?

My work is trauma-informed, attachment-focused, systemic, and experiential. I integrate evidence-based and relational approaches such as Trauma-Focused CBT, Mindfulness, Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP), Circle of Security, Play Therapy and Incredible Years. As a Creative Arts Therapist specializing in Dramatherapy, I often use the Embodiment–Projection–Role (EPR) model, psychodrama, and storytelling to help clients access emotions safely, shift stuck roles, and practice new ways of relating. I also bring an intersectional lens—especially around gender equity, emotional intelligence, and sustainable partnership dynamics.In couples work, I’m particularly aligned with depth-oriented relational work and Relational Life Therapy (RLT).

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I believe healing happens in relationship—and new relational experiences can create lasting change. Clients are the experts in their strengths; therapy helps uncover them, strengthen them, and use them intentionally. Equity matters in the therapy room and at home—relationships thrive when power, care, and responsibility are more balanced. A new client can expect a start that feels grounded, collaborative, and paced:We’ll begin with a thoughtful assessment and a clear sense of what you want therapy to help with. I’ll ask about your relationships, stressors, strengths, and what’s felt stuck—then we’ll set realistic goals and a plan. Sessions may include skills + insight + experiential work (depending on your comfort): talking, reflection, and sometimes creative/embodied exercises to explore patterns safely. We’ll check in regularly about what’s working, and adjust together—therapy with me is a partnership.
