I offer reflection, whole-hearted listening, authenticity and a gentle approach to change making. As we develop trust and respect for your internal system, you can re-establish a relationship with your inner sense of knowing. From this place of knowing we can cultivate the self compassion and resilience necessary for lasting growth.
It is important to me to address each person in their entirety – including one’s physical, emotional, mental, cultural and spiritual self. I focus on what is showing up in the present while also acknowledging and honoring how past patterns impact you today.
In my practice, I bring an understanding of the systemic forces that contribute to power imbalances, prejudice, and oppression. I’m dedicated to helping individuals navigate the complex ways these factors impact their self-perception and interactions with the world. I affirm the identities/experiences of my clients and actively participate in consultation groups and trainings to support me in my role as a therapist. As someone that identifies as mixed race (Indian & white) I have a special interest in holding space for folks who are exploring their relationship to their identities.
I integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS), attachment theory, somatics, mindfulness and a relational approach. I am a Level 1 trained Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist.
