Thank you for your interest in working with me. I’m deeply honored by the trust my clients place in me, and I want to ensure that we are a good fit to create the best possible outcomes for your healing journey. Below is important information to consider before reaching out:

My Approach
-
I work primarily within the Internal Family Systems (IFS) modality, which means our work will focus on accessing and strengthening your Self-energy—the core, compassionate, courageous and creative part of you that can bring healing to all aspects of your inner system.
-
This is not talk therapy. If you’re seeking someone to chat with or need a surface-level approach, I’m likely not the right fit.
-
My work is for individuals who:
-
Are ready to engage in work that uncovers root causes of stuck personal and relational patterns.
-
Have tried other approaches, including other types of therapy, but feel like they haven’t gotten to the depth they are looking for.
-
Are open to exploring their internal system of parts, understanding how protective parts of them have been trying to help, and building relationships with their emotions and body’s wisdom. (You don’t need to be an expert at this—just open to learning!)
-
-
I'm not a good fit for:
-
Those who prefer a cognitive-behavioral approach, or are most interested in getting advice or feedback on their week by week lives.
-
Those who struggle with consistently meeting basic needs like food, shelter, and safety. My work is most effective for those who have a stable foundation and are ready to engage in a depth-oriented, transformative approach, as our inner system must have a critical mass of safety for healing to take place.
-
Require extensive support accessing external resources, as this is not my area of focus.
-
Who Thrives in My Practice
I am especially well-suited to work with individuals navigating:
-
Childhood trauma
-
Chronic, unexplained health issues
-
Recovery from narcissistic abuse (especially sneaky covert narcissism)
-
Complicated grief
-
Religious abuse
-
Recurring anxiety
If this resonates with you and you’re ready to begin your journey, I’d love to hear from you. Through an IFS lens, we will work to unburden the pain carried by protective and exiled parts of your system, allowing your Self to lead with clarity, courage, and compassion. Please feel free to reach out knowing that while my availability may take some time, I’m committed to providing deeply attuned work for those I serve.
