About My Clients
Many of my clients come to therapy carrying experiences of trauma that have left parts of themselves feeling pushed aside or silenced. Together we create space for these parts to be seen with compassion, not as problems to fix but as vital pieces of their story. My ideal client(s) are people who are ready to turn towards their psyche and be with the messy nuances of what it means to be human.
My Background and Approach
I bring a foundation in marriage and family therapy, with specialized training in attachment theory, relational psychology, and intergenerational family systems. My approach centers the human experience, focusing on grief, loss, and the ways our families and ancestry shape who we are today. I integrate Internal Family Systems to help clients understand and listen to the many parts that make up their inner ecosystem, often incorporating Jungian psychology, archetypes, and symbolic imagery to explore the psyche. I also draw from Gestalt therapy with a trauma-informed focus, emphasizing a non-pathologizing space where clients can safely explore and integrate the parts of themselves that have been pushed away. In my work, I prioritize creating corrective attachment experiences, building safety, and supporting clients in connecting with themselves, their relationships, and the broader stories they carry from family and culture.
My Values as a Therapist
I believe we live in a culture that often avoids honest conversations about death, suffering, and the full spectrum of human experience. I hold that these realities are essential to understanding ourselves and our relationships, and I invite clients to explore them in a way that feels safe and grounded. I believe in the importance of turning toward the parts of ourselves we may not want to see (the shadows, the grief, the discomfort) as these aspects hold wisdom and guidance for change. By engaging with both the difficult and the beautiful parts of life and of ourselves, we can cultivate presence, compassion, and resilience, allowing us to live more fully and authentically.
