Human beings live within relationships. These connections are at the center of our lives, yet they can be complicated. I help adults heal past wounds that are activated in the present and improve the relationships which matter most, including the relationship with themselves. Through a collaborative approach, clients gain deep healing and an understanding of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, while improving communication. My approach includes evidence-based practices and strength-based skill building, such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Nonviolent Communication.
I'm intensively trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) which teaches skills to manage emotions, ways of being, and relationships through a foundation of mindfulness. Additionally, I am trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS) Level 2, which integrates with all modalities and offers deep i healing of traumas in a most compassionate way.
I use evidence-based practices in a comprehensive, and personalized manner to provide quality care and healing, with warmth and compassion. The gratification of helping clients raise their self-awareness to create sustainable change, while accessing their agency, is immeasurable.
