Together we will deepen your understanding of why you often feel the way you do.Then we will harness the wisdom and healing power that comes from welcoming the lessons these parts of yourself have to teach you. Therapy with me is not just “talking about your problems” while I nod and say “Mmhmm, go on,” “and how does that make you feel” or other things therapists say on TV.

My focus is always on guiding you into a deeper understanding of why you think and feel the way you do,  and then helping  you incorporate that wisdom into your life so that you can be more compassionate with yourself and more confident in making the right choices for you.

We will focus on creating deep experiences of genuine emotional growth and healing using a powerful and transformative therapy model known as IFS.

As therapy progresses, these experiences in our sessions will begin to shift how you relate to yourself, how you see your life stories and your relationships, and open yourself up to experiencing more of your natural self-compassion, inner wisdom, energy, confidence, and courage. You will learn how to finally let go of the deepest, darkest things you think and feel about yourself and that drive so much of your anxiety, depression, low self esteem, and disconnection from others.

I know how painful it is when it feels like no one will understand, or knows how to really help, and you feel like you have to figure it all out on your own, as always.  I don’t want you to have to keep feeling this way. As we become partners in your growth and healing, my curiosity about your story and compassion toward what you’ve been through are the basic building blocks I bring to the work of helping you start to experience positive change. I will support you every step of the way in going from feeling internally conflicted and stuck to feeling calmer and clearer within the safe, non-judgmental, and inviting space of our therapy.

I am extensively trained in the Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy model, which I love being able to offer to my clients. I have found this form of therapy to be the most powerful and helpful approach to facilitating genuine healing and liberation from the places we get stuck in life. At the same time, a strength of IFS is that we will always be attuning to your unique story and needs, so it is never a one-size-fits-all approach. You are always in control and we will move at a pace that is right for you.

I often hear from clients that they appreciate my sensitivity, compassion, and intuitive understanding toward what they are going through. They often comment on how it feels to be experiencing healing internal shifts and new perspectives as we make progress. I am grateful to be a part of their growth and success, and I look forward to partnering with you.

Imagine what your life could be like if you were able to be free of the most constraining beliefs and doubts you have about yourself, released from the most painful fears you have for your life, and unburdened from the harsh lessons you learned in your most difficult and overwhelming moments.  Imagine instead that you actually were confident in yourself where before you doubted, courageous as you boldly face the world with all your imperfections, and free to unleash your passion and creativity in all you do. This is the vision I want for all my clients, and for you.
