My Background and Approach

Much of growth takes place in relationships; I offer a warm, consistent, collaborative therapeutic relationship. I specialize in supporting my clients explore 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 much more! The clinical approaches that I am informed by and incorporate include Internal Family Systems (IFS or "parts work"), attachment theory, psychoanalytic psychology, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), 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 they inform my work, 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 will likely reflect your thoughts and emotions back to you, ask questions, share observations, and more. I will also offer concrete strategies, skills, & ideas. More than anything, therapy with me will be geared toward deepening emotional understanding and resiliency over time rather than quickly "fixing". I work with most clients long-term, meaning more than a few 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.
