My style is direct, collaborative, and grounded in honesty and compassion.
I believe therapy works best when we can speak openly about what is happening, in your life and in the room. I will offer thoughtful reflections, name patterns I notice, and gently challenge what may be keeping you stuck. At the same time, I deeply respect your pace and your autonomy.
You can expect authenticity rather than performance. I show up as a real person, steady, engaged, and present. Our work is a partnership. I bring clinical depth and perspective; you bring your lived experience. Together, we move toward clarity.
My goal is not to fix you. It is to help you access your own capacity for leadership, wisdom, and change.
The Framework: Internal Family Systems
IFS (Internal Family Systems) is a gentle yet powerful model of therapy that helps you explore and heal the different “parts” within you. Protective parts that work hard to keep you safe and the wounded parts that carry pain or shame from earlier experiences.
Rather than trying to fix or get rid of these parts, we approach them with curiosity and compassion. Through this process, you can:
Understand and soften inner conflicts
Release long-held burdens from trauma and stress
Access your natural capacity for calm, clarity, and connection
Experience a deeper sense of self-leadership and peace
Mindfulness in Practice
Mindfulness complements IFS beautifully. It offers the awareness and spaciousness needed to notice your parts without judgment. In sessions, we practice slowing down, tuning in, and meeting each part of your experience with compassion.
