Explore My Relational and Narrative Approach to Healing Informed by Parts Work & Mindful Self-Compassion
I work collaboratively with individuals, couples, and families navigating life transitions, anxiety, relationship challenges, and the weight of larger systemic concerns, including climate grief. Whether you're seeking to strengthen a partnership, move through a difficult life transition, or help your family navigate change, we'll explore how these experiences shape the stories you carry and the ways you relate to one another. Together, we'll untangle unhelpful patterns, deepen understanding, and create a steadier, more grounded way of moving forward.
Narrative Therapy
A respectful narrative approach that views individuals as separate from their problems. We work together to externalize challenges and re-author your story toward your true values and strengths.
Mindful Self-Compassion
Our sessions incorporate principles of mindful self-compassion, combining gentle mindfulness with the active emotional support of self-kindness. Together, we learn to meet challenges and suffering with the same warmth and care you would naturally offer a dear friend.
My Practice is Informed by These Relational and Systemic Modalities
Parts Work (IFS)
Our work together can be thoughtfully informed by parts work, exploring the inner 'family' of various sub-personalities within your mind. We aim to better understand these different parts from a place of curiosity, calm, and self-compassion.
Relational Therapy
Relational therapy is built on the truth that we do not live, struggle, or heal in isolation—our well-being is entirely connected to our relationships. Rather than viewing distress as an individual flaw, this approach looks at the invisible patterns and generational scripts playing out between you and your loved ones.
Individual Therapy
Your life is shaped by the stories you tell about yourself, but you are the author—not the struggle. In our sessions, we will look at your life with a new perspective, gently untangling your true identity from old narratives of anxiety or self-doubt. We will get curious about the protective, anxious aspects of your inner world to understand what they are trying to keep you safe from. By meeting these different pieces of yourself with mindfulness and self-compassion, you can safely rewrite your story moving forward.
Re-Authoring Your Story
Dedicated Care of Individuals, Couples & Families
Couples Therapy
Relationships thrive when we stop treating our partner as the enemy and start looking at the repetitive loops that keep us stuck. In our sessions, we will map out these patterns and gently explore the protective, reactive layers each of you brings to a conflict. By understanding your partner’s vulnerabilities, you can shift out of blame and rewrite a shared story of deeper connection. To achieve this, we will anchor your communication in mindfulness, helping you rebuild lasting trust.
Family Therapy
Families are built on complex histories, but a single conflict or crisis does not have to define your entire family's identity. In our sessions, we will look at how the protective responses of each family member inadvertently collide with one another during times of stress. By introducing mindfulness and compassion into the family dynamic, we can quiet the blame and create a space for everyone to feel heard. Together, we will help your family break out of old, painful patterns and safely rewrite a supportive, connected story for the future.
