my approach
My approach to therapy is rooted in a systemic lens, which considers both the individual, their relationships, and the environments they live in. The evidence-based models that inform my work include Attachment Theory, Relational Neuroscience, Narrative Therapy, Contextual Family Therapy, and Internal Family Systems. I also bring the perspective of my background as a classroom teacher. I value the pursuit of being a lifelong learner, honoring unique ways of learning, and creating awareness of how we show up to others. I adhere to the AAMFT Code of Ethics, along with respecting competencies in diversity, ethics, and research/evidenced based theories.
A Systemic Lens
A systemic lens holds the belief that your life is shaped by many interconnected relationships and environments — family, friendships, community, work or school, culture, and faith. Each of these systems influences how you experience yourself, relate to others, and move through the world.
At the same time, you carry a unique sense of self into every space you move through. Your story, values, emotions, identities, and lived experiences matter deeply.
Rather than viewing struggles in isolation, this perspective explores how your experiences are shaped by the connections and systems around you. Through this process, therapy can help you better understand yourself, navigate relationships more intentionally, and move through life in a way that feels more grounded and authentic.
