My Approach
A Safe, Compassionate Space to Heal
We'll meet for an initial session to determine what you want out of therapy. I offer a safe, compassionate space where you can feel deeply heard and supported — meeting you exactly where you are.
I primarily use Internal Family Systems (IFS), a parts-work approach. Have you ever noticed different "parts" of you showing up at different times? Maybe there's a perfectionistic part, a part who doesn't feel motivated, an anxious part, or a hurt inner child — and then other parts that want those feelings to just go away.
In IFS, we understand that these parts develop over time to protect you. And importantly — there are no bad parts. Each one has a purpose. Together, we'll explore the parts present in your life, and you'll begin to connect more deeply with your core Self — the calm, confident, compassionate inner leader who can guide your life with greater peace and clarity.
When appropriate, I also integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help process traumatic memories and emotional blocks. Both IFS and EMDR are evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches that support lasting healing and personal growth.
