Self-Care Simplified (she/her)

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is my primary treatment modality. I help clients recognize internal conflicts that are keeping them paralyzed and holding them back from healing. IFS helps me identify root cause issues that can persist for years and through this identification, clients can learn to self-soothe and move forward.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is my primary treatment modality for couples. With the guidance of EFT principles, I help clients recognize their maladaptive patterns of relating. They are then taught how to recognize these patterns in the moment and choose a healthier and more productive communication style. Once clients are able to develop healthier communication skills, they are able to engage in deeper forms of communication that promote healing and connection.

I utilize Attachment Theory with clients who are struggling with interpersonal issues. In general, I help clients identify their attachment style and the style of their current/past partner(s). Once clients have a better understanding of their attachment style, we work to better understand their unique attachment needs in a relationship and which partner's attachment style would be optimal for them.

Anxiety affects billions of people across the world, but yet, everyone experiences anxiety differently. I help clients identify root causes of their anxiety so that they can learn how to engage in internal self-soothing mechanisms. When appropriate, we also discuss environmental triggers and how best to take control of anxiety rather than let it control you.

I work with many hardworking individuals who are struggling to manage stress at work. Whether it's giving a presentation to a group of coworkers, meeting the expectations of a demanding boss, or anything in between, I help clients identify internal conflicts that are holding them back and keeping them from success. Together, we identify root cause issues that are contributing to work stress and how to make informed decisions about what it best for clients and their careers.

I have helped many couples with various relationship issues find love again. In general, I help couples identify maladaptive patterns of relating that are causing them to feel stagnant and unsuccessful when communicating. I then teach them how to recognize these patterns in the moment and work to choose healthier ways of interacting with each other. Over time, client's develop healthier ways of relating that promote love and connection.
