Hello! I specialize in helping individuals reconnect with their inherent worth and release the burdens of past trauma/distress. We can explore the underlying causes of your distress and work towards healing and growth. In our sessions, we'll work collaboratively to identify and understand the sources of your distress, develop strategies to cultivate self-compassion and resilience, and explore and clarify your personal values to guide meaningful life choices. Utilizing creative and somatic techniques, we'll facilitate deeper levels of healing and growth.
My integrative approach combines psychodynamic therapy, somatic therapies, EMDR, Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), art therapy, sandtray, and compassion-focused techniques. These methods support emotional processing, body awareness, and creative expression, facilitating deep healing through connection of mind, body, and soul.
Embarking on a therapeutic journey is a courageous step towards self-discovery and healing. If you're ready to begin this process, I invite you to reach out and schedule an initial consultation. I strive to create a space of nonjudgment, acceptance, and inclusivity. Together, we can work towards a more compassionate and fulfilling life.
