I am an IFS informed therapist specializing in trauma and women. My eclectic approach includes EMDR and other expressive forms of therapy such as collage, journaling, sand tray (yes, with adults!) drawing, drumming, music, poetry and any other creative outlet for healing. My compassionate approach helps you reconnect with your Authentic Self - Your central core of compassionate wisdom, which is th
e source of healing in your system. Aspects of your Authentic Self include compassion, clarity, confidence, courage, patience, persistence, perspective, playfulness, gratitude, and most importantly, curiosity. My intention, with profound curiosity, is to help you reconnect to your Authentic Self and rediscover the answers already within you, which may help ease your pain and suffering. When we are burdened by depression, anxiety, trauma, anger, fear, doubt, or insecurity, our ability to connect to the Authentic Self may become blocked. My focus in therapy is to help remove those blocks that are hindering you from accessing your Authentic Self. Compassion based healing is an approach to therapy and personal growth that is rooted in love. It is based on the idea that in order to heal and recover people need to learn how to be compassionate, kind, and loving towards themselves. Compassion-based healing is grounded in the conviction that practicing compassion is particularly beneficial for individuals struggling with self-worthiness, self-criticism, perfectionism, depression, anxiety, and trauma. It fosters emotional resilience, promotes positive mental health, and enhances overall well-being by helping individuals relate to themselves and others with greater kindness and empathy.
