With over a decade of experience, you, the client, will receive compassionate, respectful, and evidence-based care tailored to your unique challenges. Through a supportive and empathetic environment, clients can openly explore feelings, understand patterns, and develop the tools to navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. Sessions are designed to empower clients to overcome obstacles, discover inner balance, and create meaningful, lasting change, ultimately leading to a more fulfilling and satisfying life.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In your first session with me, you can expect a warm, welcoming space where you’re encouraged to share what brings you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. We’ll take time to explore your background, current challenges, and any specific goals you have in mind. This session is also an opportunity for you to ask questions and get comfortable with the therapy process. My aim is to help you feel heard and understood, while setting the foundation for a collaborative relationship. Together, we’ll begin to identify areas to focus on, and I’ll share how I approach treatment to support you in reaching your goals. This initial meeting is all about making sure you feel comfortable, respected, and empowered as we start this journey.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)
In my experience with Internal Family Systems (IFS), I have found it to be a transformative approach for clients working through complex emotions, trauma, and self-compassion challenges. IFS allows clients to explore their internal world by identifying different “parts” of themselves – such as protectors, critics, and wounded parts – and understand how these parts impact their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In practice, I begin by helping clients get to know these parts with curiosity and openness, especially those that may carry painful experiences or difficult emotions. By facilitating a respectful internal dialogue, I guide clients in understanding each part’s role and how it’s trying to help, even if its methods are sometimes counterproductive. We work together to foster greater harmony between parts, while strengthening their access to the compassionate, centered “Self” that can lead with clarity and confidence. IFS enables clients to release emotional burdens, resolve internal conflicts, and build a stronger, more compassionate relationship with themselves. This approach has been especially effective for clients dealing with anxiety, trauma, and issues with self-worth, providing them with lasting tools for personal growth and self-acceptance.
