About My Clients
I support individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relational challenges, and life transitions. The clients with whom I work best tend to be familiar with their inner critic and ready to explore those voices with curiosity and compassion. I also work with couples to restore intimacy in their relationship. The couples with whom I work best are willing to learn about their (and their partner's) attachment style, and to try on new behaviors and communication styles.
My Background and Approach
I provide trauma-informed care, integrating evidence-based methods like EMDR with depth approaches like psychodynamics and Internal Family Systems (IFS). My clients often describe me as warm, empathetic, curious, and intuitive. While our brains are shaped by key events, we can rewire them and reclaim our power. I love supporting clients - adults, adolescents and couples - identify parts of themselves that have got stuck in the past and then guiding them to heal. We collaborate to find the approach that works best for them. Above all, I practice Carl Rogers’ theory of unconditional positive regard and his belief that “when I accept myself just as I am, then I change.”
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe in the transformative power of self-love and self-compassion. Healing begins when we learn to treat ourselves with kindness, even amidst struggle. I also hold space for the beautiful paradox between positive thinking and radical acceptance—encouraging growth and hope while honoring all parts of ourselves, including the difficult feelings. I also hold dear the belief that a sense of wonder - an openness to the mysteries of life and connection to something larger than ourselves - can be instrumental in the journey toward wellness. Lastly, I believe we are active participants in creating our lives through the choices we make, the thoughts we nurture, and the behaviors we practice. At the same time, I recognize that life brings unpredictability—random events and circumstances that are simply out of our control. My approach is to hold space for both truths: to encourage growth and agency, while also fostering self-compassion and acceptance when things don’t go as planned.
