I have been a practicing therapist since 1998. I have a varied background of experiences over the last 2+ decades. My primary focus is to work with adults. My goal is to help clients find healing and build on the strengths that they already have with an approach that is best suited for them whether that be internal family systems, shame resilience, cognitive re-framing (with CBT), learning healthier relationship boundaries, emphasizing optimal lifestyle, and more. I am currently serving individual adult clients.
I am a Level 1 IFS therapist. Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a researched approach that allows you to go inside and listen to your own feelings and needs, to find healing. It helps reduce distress and heal trauma. Shame resilience focus is looking at the role of shame in one's life and building an awareness of it as well as resilience to it.
A strength-based approach is one that allows clients to learn to rely on themselves and believe in their own ability to heal, grow, relate to others without having to adopt foreign concepts and practices (that may be only temporary).
