Welcome. I am glad you are here.
Maybe you've done therapy before. You may understand why you feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck—but understanding something intellectually doesn't always create the change you're looking for. Therapy can be a place to go deeper.
Through an Internal Family Systems (IFS) approach, we can gently explore the different parts of you that have developed to protect you, understand how and why these parts are trying to help you, often in extreme or rigid ways. When we are able to safely address their fears and concerns that were present when they started working, you can redisover your connection with your Self. Once Self is present, you can discover your own capacity for profound healing.
Many therapy journeys begin with people reporting feeling stuck in patterns that cause them distress. Romantic relationships, job stagnation, family dynamics, parent/child interactions, mood instability, substance use, and eating concerns are just a few areas where people may experience dissatisfaction. Whether these patterns are a result of known trauma(s), relational wounds, or something else, we can gain clarity about these patterns. I can support you in getting to know the parts of you that are seeking change, while also getting to know the parts of you who have been working so hard in the same way, often for many years, without the results they need.
I aim to provide a warm and accepting practice where all persons feel valued. You will find both my personal and professional values align with providing affirming care to the global majority, LGBTQIA+, and neurodivergent identifying persons/allies.
I believe that becoming a more culturally responsive therapist is an ongoing journey. I regularly engage in learning, consultation and self-reflection to deepen my understanding of colonialism, racism, and other forms of oppression, and to better understand how these forces can shape our experiences and relationships. I am committed to continuing this work with humility, curiosity, and openness so that I can better support the people I have the privilege of working with.
