About My Clients
Do you yearn for a better, happier life, but feel weighed down by stress, anxiety, or self-doubt? Do you have trouble navigating situations that bring up overwhelming thoughts and feelings? You aren't alone. In these uncertain times, it is so easy to get caught up in patterns of thoughts and behaviors that prevent you from living a rich and meaningful life.
My Background and Approach
My approach to therapy centers on two modalities: Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). IFS is a unique and comprehensive technique that helps us heal from difficult feelings and trauma, through build self-compassion and acceptance. ACT is based on the idea that the full array of thoughts and feelings we experience as humans can be powerful opportunities for healing, growth, success, and self-compassion – if we can make space for them. I also mindfulness into my practice, when appropriate.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My therapeutic style is first and foremost non-pathologizing. I do not believe my clients’ thoughts, feelings, and behaviors make them disordered or ill. I believe in honoring and nurturing the infinite ways our humanity manifests, which means practicing with an inclusive, compassionate, and non-judgmental framework. In the service of growth, I believe that, when appropriate, we must acknowledge and unearth the deep roots that culture, oppression, and colonization has in our lived experiences. Without doing so, we might miss key pieces of our wholeness in pain we haven't healed. If any of this resonates with you, let’s speak further! Living a happy, meaningful, and authentic life is well within your reach, and I’d love to help you get there.
