A little bit about my therapy philosophy…

Traumatic experiences from childhood, such as emotional neglect, sexual abuse, and violence get encoded in our minds and bodies and shape the way we understand ourselves and show up in relationships. There is often fear of being simultaneously too little and too much and thus, not worthy of loving connection.

Therapy is a sacred place to explore and honor what lives inside your unique universe: the hurt, the yearning, the grief and also the joy, creativity and wisdom. We will gently undo the harm you experienced in childhood by cultivating compassion, reparenting parts of you that needed different love, and processing traumatic memories — restoring you to a person with internal balance, hope and agency.

The therapeutic relationship serves as the safe and loving anchor that you never had. You get to show up authentically and be fully seen and emotionally held, all while practicing trust, setting boundaries and showing your younger self that relationships can be safe and secure.

There is no better gift than feeling whole.

I am deeply passionate about Internal Family Systems (IFS), which centers on your own loving energy as the source of healing. I also practice EMDR, a transformative approach that allows you to fully process past experiences and rewire neural pathways for lasting liberation. These two models combined with traditional talk therapy and somatic practices are simply magical in healing past hardship.

Your mind and body want to move toward healing — let’s honor that process together.

Therapy is a nonlinear practice that repeatedly guides us back to our innate loving, creative, and playful Self before life happened.

Healing happens in the small moments we bring awareness to our actions and in the seismic bodily shifts that shake and soften our ancestral lines.

Therapy gently dismantles who we believe to be and provides tools to honestly take inventory of the numerous ways we have survived.
