Emily Dickinson
My approach to therapy is grounded in deep curiosity about the stories we carry about ourselves and our lives, especially when those stories no longer support the ways we hope to live. Together, we’ll pause and reflect on the experiences and meanings that have shaped your life while making space for what may be emerging.
In a complex and ever-changing world, I value creating a space where complexity is welcomed and thoughtful dialogue is possible. Rather than offering simple answers, I hope to cultivate conversations that honor your values, perspectives, and ability to author a life that feels authentic.
My practice is culturally humble and LGBTQ+ affirming. I value equity and justice and recognize that our experiences are shaped by larger social and systemic realities. I strive to create a space where each person is seen and respected, including the ways identity, culture, and systems of power influence their journey.
Narrative Therapy provides the foundation for my work. Together, we explore the stories that shape identity, relationships, and meaning while making space for new possibilities—stories that more fully reflect your values, hopes, and strengths.
My clinical training also includes Bowen Family Systems Theory, which recognizes that our lives unfold within relationship. Exploring family patterns, emotional legacies, and relational dynamics can bring greater clarity, compassion, and understanding to the experiences that have shaped you.
Postmodern perspectives and feminist paradigms enhance my work, remaining attentive to the ways gender, culture, power, and privilege influence the stories available to us and the realities we come to inhabit. These perspectives invite us to examine inherited assumptions while honoring your own knowledge, wisdom, and lived experience.
My work is informed by advanced training and certification in integrative mental health and the understanding that emotional well-being is deeply connected to the body.
I’m particularly passionate about supporting women through a holistic lens, remaining attentive to the ways sleep, movement, nutrition, hormones, stress, relationships, and other lifestyle factors can influence emotional health. I also stay curious about emerging research exploring the connections between the body, brain, and mental wellness.
Many meaningful changes in therapy unfold alongside thoughtful attention to physical health. When appropriate, I welcome collaboration with psychiatrists, primary care providers, nutrition professionals, and other healthcare specialists. This whole-person approach honors the connection between physical and emotional well-being and reflects my belief that healing is supported through compassionate and informed integrated care.
