Hello and Welcome. I bring to my practice a curiosity about who you are including what gives your life meaning and what are your sources of pain. I see myself as a partner in your journey towards wellness and living the life that you want to lead. As a therapist I particularly enjoy working with people who are contemplating behavior change, considering courageous life transitions, and supporting my clients in cultivating healthy relationships and setting compassionate boundaries.
I am a compassion focused, curious, empathic, honest and a trauma informed therapist. I am level one trained in Internal Family Systems through the IFS Institute. IFS is an opportunity to tap into your self energy and compassionately take care of the parts of yourself that carry the burdens of unsafe experiences.
It takes courage to ask for help when you are struggling. I want you to know I honor the risk you are taking by seeking a therapist. I look forward to hearing from you!
