My therapeutic practice is relational, integrative, embodied, process-oriented, and informed by a Catholic framework.

I orient my approach to flow with (not push against) our nature as humans to move toward resolution and flourishing in God’s timing. I therefore co-create a safe and deep process to unfold for each unique person. I am rooted in the body, I am centered in Christ, and I uphold the primacy of authentic presence in my work. I sometimes challenge cultural assumptions creatively and respectfully as a mindful Catholic seeking to approach general wellbeing from a pioneering, trauma-informed, humanizing, and depathologizing stance.

If we work together, we will explore what brings you in for seeking help, commit to your defined therapeutic goals, and collaboratively hold resonance for your process of unfurling towards others and yourself within God’s loving embrace.

Throughout the course of treatment, we’ll identify where your process is getting stuck and then incorporate neuroscience, evidence-based psychology, somatics, creative arts, scripture, and prayer to move your healing process forward practically and grounded in the present moment.

In sum, my general hope is that my sessions are always offering the co-regulation and tools you need so that you can feel safe enough to engage in the restoration of your whole self; your brain, heart, soul, relationships, and way of life.

In session, I’ve been known to invite clients, when appropriate, to use mindful movement, breathing techniques, bilateral stimulation, non-dominant hand drawing, art, meditation, and nature. I often pass along resources to empower my client’s with access to relevant knowledge. I also suggest my clients practice a piece of their work in between sessions with the aim of integrating change. If my clients are comfortable with it, we explore healing prayer in sessions as way to center our work in Christ.
