My Approach

I view each person within interconnected individual, family, social, spiritual, and ecological systems. Symptoms are not personal flaws or pathology; they may signal that something in your life or environment is out of balance. You are the expert on your life. I bring presence, deep respect, and care to our work together.

Equity, Trust and Emotional Safety

I seek to understand you in the full context of your life, including how power, identity, privilege, and belonging shape your experience. Trust and emotional safety come first. We move at a pace that feels right for you, and feedback, questions, and pushback are welcome.

Frameworks I Draw From

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS): Meet your inner parts with compassion, reduce judgment, and reconnect with Self energy, purpose, and agency.
  • Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB): Understand how relationships, nervous-system states, and brain–body integration shape wellbeing.
  • Mindfulness: Build present-moment awareness as a resource for regulation and insight.
  • Ecotherapy: Explore how the nervous system and sense of self are connected to the natural world.
