Experience shapes reality.

We are all shaped by our lived experiences. Through them, we come to form beliefs and impressions—about ourselves, others, and the world. Some of these beliefs are clear and conscious, while others operate more subtly, beneath our awareness. Often, the problems and symptoms we experience in the present are rooted in the strategies we developed to survive and make sense of the past. Therapy offers a space to gently uncover these beliefs and strategies, honor the adaptive role they have played, and create the right conditions for new experiences and insights to emerge. As new information is integrated, old patterns can be updated or released—opening the door to meaningful, lasting transformation.

Variation is the norm.

While some therapeutic tools and principles are widely helpful, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to healing. Working through wounds and reshaping survival strategies is a deeply individual process. This is why I appreciate the flexibility of a blended EMDR model—it allows therapy to be responsive to each person’s unique needs, strengths, and goals. 

Collaboration is key.

I don’t view myself as the expert with all the answers. Instead, I see myself as a curious and compassionate co-pilot, honored to walk alongside you in this work. Together, we focus on creating safety in the present, then explore experiences that allow your inner wisdom and resilience to lead the way toward healing, growth, and lasting change. This process is also shaped by the power of intersubjectivity—the idea that our systems naturally influence one another during sessions. Through this mutual exchange, a shared understanding can emerge and support deeper transformation.
