All parts are Welcome
I believe in the power of deep reflection, compassionate listening, and authentic connection to create meaningful change. My approach is gentle and heart-centered, helping you rebuild trust with your inner wisdom. As we grow that trust, we can tap into the self-compassion and resilience needed for lasting transformation.
I see you as a whole person—your physical, emotional, mental, cultural, and spiritual self are all part of the journey. Together, we’ll focus on what’s present right now, while also honoring the influence of past experiences on your current life. I blend approaches like Internal Family Systems (IFS), attachment theory, somatics, mindfulness, and relational techniques to help you move forward.
In my practice, I bring an understanding of the systemic forces that contribute to power imbalances, prejudice, and oppression. I'm dedicated to helping individuals navigate the complex ways these factors impact their self-perception and interactions with the world. I affirm the identities/experiences of my clients and actively participate in consultation groups and trainings to support me in my role as a therapist. As someone that identifies as mixed race (Indian & white) I have a special interest in holding space for folks who are exploring their relationship to their identities.
I integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS), attachment theory, somatics, mindfulness and a relational approach. I am a Level 2 trained Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist.
“Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy is a collaborative therapeutic approach that honors each person’s unique and intuitive healing path. It is a deeply compassionate, non-pathologizing model that welcomes all parts of a person and offers hope for lasting healing for even our most difficult experiences.”
- Richard Schwartz PhD., creator of Internal Family Systems
“Beneath the surface of the protective parts of trauma survivors there exists an undamaged essence, a Self that is confident, curious and calm. A Self that has been sheltered from destruction by the various protectors that have emerged in their efforts to ensure survival. Once those protectors trust that it is safe to separate, the Self will spontaneously emerge, and the parts can be enlisted in the healing process.
