Let me help you get to a better place and a better you.
Central to my work is a deep respect and humility for a person’s unique lived experience which encompasses ethnicity, cultural and religious background, sexual orientation, gender identity among many other things - all of which heavily inform the work we do together. Equally important is my commitment to self-reflection, examining my own privilege and how that impacts the work I do.
Internal Family Systems Individuals & Couples
IFS is an evidenced-based approach to psychotherapy therapy. Through the IFS lens, we examine and heal different parts of your inner world that carry burdens from the past and interfere with relationships. The goal is not to banish these parts, but to deepen your understanding of and increase your compassion towards them. I also incorporate Somatic Experiencing techniques to enhance the healing process and improve overall well-being.
In Couples Therapy, the goal is to build a more satisfying relationship by understanding and addressing individual internal systems so couples can improve communication, reduce conflict and improve emotional intimacy.
Life Transitions & Grief
Have you been “thrown off” your game by a major life change like going to college, moving to a new city, ending a relationship, divorce, facing a health related challenge, the loss of a loved one? Has your perception of yourself changed as you enter a new phase of life thereby impacting your thoughts, emotions and behaviors?
There is a path forward. Through our work together using Somatic Experiencing, IFS, and Emotional Sobriety, I will help you navigate and embrace life transitions unique to all human beings.
The Displaced Soul
Displaced refers to the removal of something or someone from its proper or usual place.
I frequently hear clients say, “I should have…” or “I feel like something is missing or off.” For many of us, the lives we have built were constructed on someone else’s foundation, shaped by the pressures, expectations and beliefs of parents, partners, community, social media, culture, etc. rather than our own essence. At some point along the way, we lost ourselves to someone else’s plan. Perhaps you didn’t have a choice because you knew there would be consequences.
If you feel your life is out of alignment or find yourself yearning for something more, I invite you to be honest with yourself: Are you living your truth, or are you held back by the fear of what might happen if you did? That sense of being a "displaced soul" is a powerful signal that your current path may not be your truth.
I invite you to listen to your inner wisdom. I would love to help you rediscover your core essence and begin living a life that is truly your own.
“Being human is not about being any one particular way; it is about being as life creates you—with your own particular strengths and weaknesses, gifts and challenges, quirks and oddities.”
