I nurture a deep understanding and appreciation for the complexity, diversity and resiliency of the human spirit and believe, unequivocally, in the healing power of connection and hope. My focus is on meeting each client where they are by creating a safe space to facilitate meaningful interactions. Through my own identity development journey as a mixed-race woman, I have learned how to value my own story and how that impacts my therapeutic lens. It is my belief that knowing ourselves allows us to know how to more deeply and intimately hold space for others.
My therapeutic work is experiential and primarily utilizes Internal Family Systems (IFS) or “parts work.” My belief in IFS is that through establishing openness and curiosity for all of our various “parts” we are able to unburden ourselves of deeply held thoughts, beliefs and feelings that keep us separated from self.
I aim to work collaboratively and compassionately with clients to explore areas of disconnection, pain and struggle while deepening and integrating experiences of re-connection, courage and transformation. I have a passion for sitting with individuals from all walks of life and would love to hear how I might be of support on your journey.
