I’m a Portland, OR based therapist specializing in Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy to support healing from trauma, anxiety, and relational wounds. I also have a deep commitment to working with mothers and the unique challenges they face.
In our work together, I offer a sacred and supportive space where you can approach life experiences with compassionate curiosity. Therapy is a place to deepen one’s connection and relationship with the self, and to gain embodied insight about one’s personal process and patterning. It is also a place to explore one’s relationships to others to build more fulfilling connections and intimacy.
Ultimately, we work together to tenderly uncover what is true for you, to make the unconscious conscious, and to hear and amplify your inner voices in areas where they long to be heard. I fully support your exploration of shame and shadow. I welcome you in your full complexity.
I am a feminist, bilingual (Spanish) Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist with a background in Integral Psychology, Relational Psychotherapy, and Gestalt. I’m also a certified Death Doula. It’s an honor to do this work, and I welcome you to reach out. Our first 20-minute conversation is free.
