How I work

I believe that each person already holds the inner resources needed for healing and well-being. My role as a therapist is to act as a guide, offering support and tools to help you reconnect with that capacity within yourself. I also believe healing involves working with the whole person: body, mind, emotions.

​

In our work together, we will pay attention to the different parts of you, possibly the ones that feel reactive, overwhelmed, angry, sad, shut down, or stuck. Rather than trying to get rid of these parts (which we often naturally tend to do), we get curious about them, understand the roles they play, and begin to build a different relationship with them. Over time, this can support real healing and transformation.

​

At the same time, we stay closely connected to your nervous system and your body. This helps move therapy beyond insight alone, so that change can be felt, integrated, and embodied, not just understood intellectually.

Over time, this work supports you in feeling less driven by reactive parts and more grounded in a steady place inside yourself. This often brings a greater sense of ease, clarity, and choice in how you move through your life.

My approach is rooted in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and informed by somatic, attachment-based, and emotion-focused therapies, along with mindfulness and experiential work when helpful.

The therapeutic relationship is central to this process. I aim to offer a space that is compassionate, non-judgmental, and responsive to your lived experience, including the broader social and cultural contexts that shape it.

Anti-oppression is also an important part of my work, which means recognizing how systems and identity shape our experiences of safety, stress, and healing.​
