Approach

My practice is informed by studies in psychodynamic theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), self-compassion, mindfulness, creative arts, and Buddhist psychology.

I combine elements of talk therapy with gentle, trauma-informed awareness practices that help clients cultivate inner kindness and heal parts of themselves that feel burdened. As an IFS-trained therapist, I view all symptoms as parts. Anxiety, depression, sadness, despair, anger - these are all parts that we can befriend and heal. We'll explore each part with great care, and at the speed that feels right for you.

​

In addition to IFS and meditation, I often incorporate art-making to help clients tap into the unconscious and explore their inner landscapes using color and imagery.​
