Psychotherapy
It is an honor for me to participate in the depth work of psychotherapy.
In therapy, I create sacred space for clients to bring compassionate curiosity to life experiences. Therapy is a place to deepen one’s connection and relationship with the self, and to gain embodied insight about one’s personal process, dynamics, and patterning. It is also a place to explore one’s relationships to others to build more fulfilling connections and intimacy in one’s life. I offer various tools to support you in your journey, such as Internal Family Systems, mindful self compassion, guided visualization, and a somatic (body based) orientation to trauma.
Ultimately, we work together to tenderly uncover what is true for you, to make the unconscious conscious, and to hear and amplify your inner voices in areas where they long to be heard. I offer and invite radical approval for the shameful, dark and hidden. I welcome you in your full complexity, including your powerful wisdom and aliveness as well as your mystery, your shadow, and your disowned and exiled parts.
I work with adults seeking to delve deep inside and are interested in experiencing Internal Family Systems. IFS builds self compassion, insight, and healing. It also can help create movement and growth in places that have long been stuck. As a systems therapist, I see the individual as a family of parts functioning within other various systems. I work with clients who are interested in including an exploration of external systems of oppression and how culture has impacted their worldviews.
I am a sex positive and feminist psychotherapist and my theoretical underpinnings are based in Integral Psychology, attachment theory, Gestalt, and Existential Humanistic approaches. I am level one trained by the Internal Family Systems Institute and and am a Death Doula/End of Life Doula, trained by Going with Grace academy. I am in active exploration of the intersectionality of my identites and how they impact my life and work.
