Services Provided 

I provide psychotherapy services to adolescents and adults. My work is grounded primarily in Internal Family Systems (IFS), a compassionate, non-pathologizing approach that supports connection with your inner world and access to your natural Self-energy. I also integrate somatic approaches and sandtray therapy, recognizing that parts often communicate through the body, nervous system responses, and physical sensation. Together, these approaches allow us to work relationally and experientially—supporting regulation, safety, and integration at a pace guided by your system.

​​Internal Family Systems (IFS)

“IFS is a transformative tool that conceives every human being as a system of protective and wounded inner parts led by a core Self...Self is in everyone. It can’t be damaged. It knows how to heal.” - https://ifs-institute.com/

 

IFS can be a profound catalyst for change and healing. Many of my clients report that IFS helps them to gain a deeper understanding of their internal world, brings more clarity to the issues that bring them to therapy, brings more harmony and balance, and increases self-compassion. 

​

Somatic Approaches​​

Soma is a Greek word that means body, and as coined by Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, the body keeps the score. Stress and trauma are often carried by protective and wounded parts through physical sensations, tension, and nervous system responses. By slowing the pace and bringing attention to the body, breath, and movement, clients can connect with these parts without overwhelm. As regulation increases, Self-energy becomes more available, allowing parts to feel safe, release burdens, and integrate—supporting healing through embodied presence rather than talk alone.

 

Sandtray Therapy

As with IFS, sandtray therapy can be a profound catalyst for change and healing, and can be especially helpful for those who feel stuck in the therapeutic process or who have difficulty putting their experiences into words. Further, while talk therapy can be helpful for some in processing trauma, oftentimes, other modalities are needed to get to the core of trauma. The use of sand and various figures can help bring subconscious material forward so that it can be brought to awareness for processing and integration, which is key for optimal healing.
