If life's challenges have become overwhelming, I'm here to help you lean in to your innate capacity for healing. As an Internal Family Systems trained practitioner, I will help you foster curiosity for all the parts of yourself in a nonjudgmental, supportive way. I will help you understand your protective mechanisms and dig deeper to release burdens of belief and help you heal old wounds. I strive to maintain an anti-oppressive practice, which often begins with acknowledging our shared and differing relationships to power and privilege. If this approach is what you've been looking for, schedule a consultation today!
