My Ideal Client

I've been a therapist for 8 years. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing relationship challenges (w/ family members, friends, partners, etc.…) as well as the effects of past relationship trauma(s) and all types of losses & life transitions. I also enjoy working with clients who simply hope to better understand their own relational & emotional patterns. If you are curious about making deeper sense of your self, experiences, & relationships, we could be a good fit.

My Background and Approach

I offer a warm, consistent, collaborative therapeutic relationship. I support my clients in exploring their internal worlds with compassion and curiosity so that they can improve and deepen their connections with themselves & with others. This often includes identifying relational and emotional patterns, working to understand how these have come to be, tending to older hurts and wounds, learning and trying out new skills, and more. The clinical approaches that I am informed by and incorporate include attachment theory, psychodynamic therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS or "parts work"), and mindfulness & somatic practices. I am engaged in ongoing learning and trainings in all of these approaches. If you are curious to know more about how we might use these in our work together, please ask! If you are interested in working with me, please reach out for a free 20 minute consultation.

My Approach to Helping

In our sessions, I likely will reflect your thoughts and emotions back to you, ask questions, share observations, prompt you to notice bodily sensations/experiences, bring your attention to dynamics I observe within our therapeutic relationship, and more. Sometimes I will offer more concrete ideas, strategies, and skills. More than anything, therapy with me will be focused on deepening emotional awareness and flexibility over time with the aim of developing more meaningful connections and life experiences. I work with most clients long-term, meaning more than six months. I strive to practice radical acceptance and offer a welcoming space to individuals of all backgrounds. I am also committed to providing a supportive space to freely name and discuss the various societal systems that oppress or exclude and contribute to mental health symptoms.
