About My Clients

I love working with individual adults 25+ that identify as Highly Sensitive or Empathic. I love helping people connect deeply to their inner worlds and get really clear on their own needs, feelings, and somatic cues. I tend to work with clients that identify as helpers, caretakers, or people pleasers, that want to explore their own identities, patterns, and unconscious drivers. My clients have often done therapy previously and want to move away from only doing talk therapy.

My Background and Approach

I work with human beings that have human struggles, pain, and imperfections. My approach is grounded in humanistic psychology, meaning it is warm, compassionate, non-judgmental, and genuine. It is also deeply experiential and integrative meaning I will incorporate different techniques and approaches based on your specific needs, but always as it relates to your own inner experience. I use IFS, Coherence Therapy, and AEDP meaning I work with your parts, emotional learnings, and core affect/attachment. Together we will explore patterns, memories, unconscious drivers and behaviors, to make the implicit explicit and move toward unburdening, memory reconsolidation and transformation, toward deep and lasting change. I do not work in counteractive ways, for example: finding tools to lessen, or counteract anxiety. I find it more important to unearth why the anxiety is there in the first place, what purpose(s) it may serve, etc. I find this to be more compassionate and more transformative.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe every human being is so worthy of love, safety, and support. I believe we all not only have the capacity for resilience, healing, and growth but are innately driven toward them. Trauma, hurt, and negative pattern formation does not happen in isolation, and nor does healing. We need connection and relationships to heal and grow, to see ourselves and our needs more clearly. Personally and professionally, I strive to be anti-racist, anti-oppressive, non-pathologizing, and inclusive of all intersections of race, culture, ability, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression. My aim is to assume nothing and simply get to know you as the unique individual you are, who is so valuable and worthy of care. Visit my website for more information.
