Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a therapist, I specialize in helping clients overcome trauma and build healthier relationships. My empathetic approach and commitment to empowering clients creates a safe and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, validated, and supported throughout their therapeutic journey. When working with clients struggling with unhealthy relationship dynamics, I draw upon my extensive experience and training in trauma-informed therapy. I understand that past experiences can significantly impact how individuals engage in relationships and may lead to harmful or dysfunctional patterns of behavior. My approach involves helping clients explore the underlying factors that contribute to these dynamics, such as past traumas, attachment styles, or communication patterns. Through compassionate exploration and insight-building, I assist clients in identifying and challenging unhelpful beliefs and behaviors. Together, we work to develop healthier coping strategies, boundaries, and communication skills that promote more fulfilling and harmonious relationships.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)
My experience with Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy spans over a decade, incorporating this powerful model into my practice to help clients navigate and heal from traumatic relationships. IFS is an evidence-based approach that views the mind as naturally made up of multiple parts, each with its own perspective, desires, and memories. This model is particularly effective for those dealing with complex trauma and toxic relationships, as it allows clients to explore their internal world in a structured yet compassionate way. In my practice, I use IFS to help clients identify and understand their different parts. These parts often include protectors, managers, and exiles. Protectors and managers are parts that try to prevent the client from feeling pain, often through behaviors like people-pleasing, perfectionism, or dissociation. Exiles are parts that carry the burden of past traumas and painful emotions. By guiding clients to connect with their core Self, which is characterized by qualities like compassion, curiosity, and calmness, they can begin to heal these wounded parts. For clients navigating traumatic relationships, IFS provides a framework to understand why they may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unable to leave an unhealthy situation. By exploring the protective parts that may be keeping them in these patterns, clients can gain insight into their behaviors and begin to transform their relationships with themselves and others.
