Learning how to approach the ups and downs of life is a personal journey and everyone
deserves a safe space to explore the tools that will best work for them. As a therapist I believe that practicing awareness through conversation and mindfulness is one of the best gifts you can give yourself. If you are going through changes in life and want to explore how you can bring your own values to find solutions, I am available to collaborate with you. I am committed to creating a non-judgmental atmosphere where we can look at life's challenges and find new approaches for managing the thoughts and feelings which arise.
As a Level 1 Trained IFS therapist, I primarily use IFS and incorporate mindfulness and somatic practices to best support your needs. I believe strongly in using an anti-oppressive lens and work to understand how environmental and cultural factors your life and choices.
I have extensive training in trauma and dealing with its aftereffects. I also have experience working with anxiety, depression, ADHD and addiction. In our work together, I am interested in collaborating with you. I believe you are the expert in your own life and want to work at a pace that respects your process.
