Together, we will identify common relationship patterns and dynamics and the "positive intention" it is trying to serve you. Understanding the role you have learned throughout life in relationships can help us to see the protective nature it once had in the past. We will practice relational skills such as effective communication, boundary setting, and mindfulness to create more secure and fulfilling relationships in your present life.

Understanding the nature of the relationship between yourself and your early caretakers brings a great amount of insight around the foundations of your nervous system and levels of emotional security. Exploring attachment helps foster a deeper, more compassionate connection with a younger you who didn't get their essential emotional needs met.

I explore common issues faced by women (poor body image, low self-esteem, unhealthy relationship patterns, history of abuse, etc) from a systematic lens to have a deeper understanding of the true source. These are not a reflection of your worth; they are a product of misogyny and gender based violence throughout generations. We will re-evaluate your values and unwire learned beliefs to become your most confident and empowered self.

We will work together to understand how traumatic experiences re-wire your nervous system and influence your present-day functioning. Trauma therapy is a marathon, not a sprint. I take things at the pace your system is ready for, which varies from person to person. Over time, we will engage in coping skills, mindfulness, and desensitizing strategies to process the trauma effectively.

Understanding your inner world through the lens of "parts"; all of us have parts of ourselves that come together to operate our emotional system. IFS helps to learn what these parts look like, and how they have learned to help you survive. We will develop a better awareness and relationship with your emotional parts in order to feel more in control.

With ACT, we will address difficult emotions and beliefs through acceptance and committed action. You will observe your emotions without judgment, reflect on your value system, and engage in actions that support the change you want to see.
