Approach.

I offer a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where we can explore the patterns, beliefs, and stories that shape how you think, feel, and relate; we reconnect with the body and nervous system as sources of information, regulation, and safety; and we make space for your deeper sense of authenticity, meaning, and connection to emerge. Together, this work supports healing that is not only understood intellectually, but felt, embodied, and lived.

To support this process, my work is grounded in counseling and therapeutic approaches that foster self-exploration, nervous system regulation, and emotional healing. I primarily work through Internal Family Systems (IFS), body-based practices, relational, and attachment-based lenses. In addition, I also integrate coaching tools to help translate insight into everyday life actions.

  • Internal Family Systems is an evidence-based, compassion-oriented approach that helps you understand your inner world through the concept of “parts,” each carrying thoughts, emotions, and roles within your inner system.

    There are no bad parts”; every part has developed for a reason, even when their strategies feel overwhelming or conflicting.

    Through curiosity and compassion, we explore the origins, intentions, and needs of these parts. By listening rather than pushing them away, inner clarity and self-leadership can emerge, supporting greater harmony within yourself and healthier relationships with others.

    If you’ve ever noticed yourself saying, “part of me feels this, while another part feels something else,” you’re already speaking the language of IFS.

  • Polyvagal theory and somatic therapy focus on the connection between the mind and the body, recognizing that stress and trauma are often held physically as well as emotionally. 

    By gently tuning into bodily sensations and the nervous system, these approaches support the release of stored tension and restore a sense of safety, regulation, and belonging.

  • Attachment-based work recognizes that our earliest relationships shape how we experience safety, connection, and belonging. Relational work acknowledges that healing happens in relationship with others.

    Using both lenses, and placing the therapeutic relationship at the center, we explore your relationship challenges and support the development of healthier boundaries, deeper connections, and more secure ways of relating.

  • Coaching tools are used, when helpful, to support integration and forward movement. This may include clarifying values, exploring goals, and setting intentions that align with your nervous system capacity. Coaching helps bringing awareness and embodied insight into everyday life, supporting sustainable change.

You are the expert of your life, and I am a fellow traveler supporting you as you reunite with your inner, cultural, and ancestral wisdom.

I welcome you as you are, with all your experiences and all the parts and identities you carry. All parts are welcome.

I acknowledge that many of our struggles are influenced by systemic injustices and oppressive social structures. My work supports you in navigating these challenges with resilience and clarity.

I see you as an ecosystem of mind, body, and soul. My support explores the relationships between these parts rather than addressing them in isolation.
