Values

Safety First

Emotional safety is the foundation of healing. I strive to create a space where all parts of you are welcome—without pressure, judgment, or expectation.

Compassion Over Perfection

You don’t have to have it all figured out. We’ll meet your experiences with gentleness, not criticism, and take things one step at a time.

Honoring Neurodiversity

Every brain is different, and that difference is respected here. I tailor therapy to support the way you think, feel, and process the world.

Trauma-Informed, Always

Your comfort, consent, and pacing matter. I bring a trauma-informed lens to everything we do, honoring your nervous system and lived experience.

Real, Authentic Connection

I show up as a real person in the room with you—attuned, present, and human. Therapy works best when we feel safe being ourselves.

Inclusion & Allyship

Arnica is a welcoming space for LGBTQIA+ clients, BIPOC clients, and people from all walks of life. Your identity is seen, respected, and supported.

Creativity is Welcome

Healing can look many ways. If it feels right for you, we can invite in art, metaphor, writing, or other creative tools to help express what words can’t always hold.

Whole-Person Care

You are more than a diagnosis. I work with the whole of you—your strengths, your pain, your story, and everything in between.

Collaboration Over Hierarchy

Therapy isn’t something I do to you—it’s something we do together. I trust your inner wisdom and walk alongside you, not ahead of you.

Room to Slow Down

This is a space to exhale. There’s no rush here—only time to be with what’s real, at a pace that feels right for you.
