About My Clients
Women of all ages have benefited from my ability to provide a safe place for them to talk about their emotional pain and understand that they are not alone. They are willing to discover root causes of why they feel depressed, anxious, powerless and unable to navigate relationships in a personally fulfilling way. They begin to develop healthy relationships with themselves making it easier to say no to what they don't want and yes to what they do. PS they have given given too much of themselves!
My Background and Approach
I was a "late bloomer" having received a Bachelor's Degree in my 30's. a Master's Degree in my 40's and a License in Mental Health Counseling in my 50's. I worked in Community Mental Health for 15 years before starting my private practice. I use an Internal Family Systems Informed approach. IFS is a non-pathologising model that supports the acceptance of all parts of you and the healing of parts that carry burdens from the past. Understanding your inner world in this way frees you to stop blaming others for your pain, and from waiting for others to change in order for you to feel better. I am also a Certified Trauma Professional and I know personally how trauma responses (unconscious, overwhelming and extreme emotions) are so unhelpful in relationships.
