About My Clients
I work with adults in their mid-thirties and beyond who are ready to reclaim their lives from limiting patterns shaped by family systems and societal conditioning. I specialize in clients recovering from dysfunctional or narcissistic family systems; clients experiencing significant life changes, including grappling with mortality and the meaning of life; and clients who seek a spiritual and somatic approach to mental health.
My Background and Approach
My approach integrates the biological, emotional, relational, cultural, ancestral, and spiritual dimensions of a client’s life. I work from a heart-centered, spiritual, and somatic framework, rooted in the belief that true healing comes not from "fixing" what is “wrong,” but from understanding what’s needed for wholeness, integration, peace, and joy. I work with several evidence-based modalities including humanistic therapy, narrative, spiritual, existential, somatic inquiry, IFS. In support of a holistic orientation, mindfulness, self-compassion, intuition (mine and yours), humor, and metaphor, all play essential roles in how I facilitate a healing space.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” — Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi My philosophy about therapeutic change is that our job is not to seek and destroy problems or ‘bad’ behaviors, but rather seek, understand, and integrate the barriers we have built (and inherited) between ourselves and love. We cannot have too much self-love but we can certainly suffer from too little. Many of us have been taught that self-love is selfish. I fervently disagree. With me, therapy sessions will become a refuge for you. Therapy won’t be a thing you do, instead it will be a restorative container we create together. In your own time, I will support you in unpacking, digesting, and integrating the ‘baggage’ you’ve been carrying for so long (personal, relational, ancestral, and societal).
