Introduction

Within our work together, we explore anything that you feel is preventing you from living as your most authentic, self-compassionate Self. Whether you are carrying daily life stress, the loss of a loved one, challenges with adapting to a new life transition, deep and debilitating sadness, the burden of a traumatic experience, or even struggling to make sense of what you are feeling, I'm here to honor your reality - whatever that may be - so you can begin your healing process. With compassion and curiosity, my role is to help you nurture and strengthen that which encourages you to feel heard, liberated, and fulfilled. I draw from a range of approaches, largely/mostly from Internal Family Systems (IFS), with additional integration of Polyvagal Theory, Mindfulness, Somatic Experiencing, and Attachment Based Therapy. I offer holistic practices that honor the whole person - mind, body, and spirit. My practice is founded upon the belief that we are all human - meaning that it is natural to feel a multitude of emotions that are both unique to the individual, as well as interconnected with our relationships with others. I believe the path to healing and growth begins with connecting to one's self and the leadership already within you.
