My approach to therapuetic work
I take a non-pathologizing, humanizing stance in therapy. I don’t see distress as something to be “fixed” but as something to be understood. The ways we struggle, whether it’s anxiety, self-criticism, emotional overwhelm or patterns that feel stuck, are often protective adaptations that made sense at some point in our lives. My focus is on helping you build a deeper relationship with yourself, so that you can move toward healing with self-compassion rather than judgment.
At the core of my work is Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, a powerful model that helps people understand and relate to their inner world in a new way. I also draw on somatic, polyvagal and mindfulness practices to complement IFS, helping clients connect with their body’s wisdom and regulate their nervous system. By integrating these approaches, I support people in deepening self-awareness, developing inner safety and cultivating a sense of presence in their daily lives.
