About My Clients

Do you find yourself feeling anxious, heavy, unmotivated or sad? Do you wish your inner landscape felt lighter and freer, allowing you to enjoy life and relationships? It takes courage to embark on a journey of self-exploration. Facing challenging emotions, releasing painful memories and experiences, and forming new beliefs takes commitment and resilience. It is so important to have a gentle guide by your side who has the tools to bring about change and healing.

My Background and Approach

My therapeutic approach is centered on calm, compassionate, nonjudgmental empathy and acceptance, which creates a safe and nurturing space for healing and growth. It takes courage to embark on a journey of self-exploration. Facing challenging emotions, releasing painful memories and experiences, and forming new beliefs takes commitment and resilience. It is so important to have a gentle guide by your side who has the tools to bring about change and healing. I use Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR and other trauma-focused therapies to help you develop a deeper understanding of your inner dynamics, cultivate self-compassion, and gain insight into the underlying issues driving your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. A life of freedom and joy is possible!

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that the goal of therapy is to uncover your authentic Self, which radiates calm, compassion and love, and to help integrate parts of you that are carrying burdens from events throughout childhood and adulthood. I have been on my own healing journey for many years, and I understand that heaviness and lack of hope that can come from these burdens of trauma. Over time I have been able to release these burdens and I know at a heartfelt level what a difference this makes in day to day living. I'm looking forward to helping you to also process and release the burdens you've been carrying.
