My Approach to Helping
Navigating modern adulthood can be complicated and stressful. I specialize in helping folks in their 20s and 30s manage a variety of presenting issues including life transitions, trauma, relationships, identity, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and grief and loss. My approach is LGBTQIA+-affirmative, feminist, sex-positive, social justice-oriented, and culturally-inclusive. Together, we'll work to identify patterns, build upon strengths, and enrich your sense of self. My style is warm, direct, and compassionate, and I provide a safe, collaborative space that nurtures the therapeutic relationship and promotes empowerment and inner growth.
More Info About My Practice
I work primarily from an Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) perspective. IFS is a non-pathologizing approach to therapy that focuses on exploring the many “parts” of ourselves. This work allows us to access and make sense of our inner experience with the goal of alleviating conflict, healing deep emotional wounds, and restoring harmony and peace. In addition to IFS, I incorporate Attachment, Narrative, Somatic, and Mindfulness-based approaches. A social worker at heart, I strive to highlight and build upon your inner strengths and resources, appreciating all the complexities that make you unique.
