You may benefit from working with me if:
You want to connect with yourself more deeply and compassionately.
You possess a strong motivation and commitment to personal growth and behavioral change.
You want to focus on the process of transformation and long-term change rather than the outcome of quick temporary relief from discomfort and symptoms.
You want to enhance your relationship with yourself and with others.
When my services may not meet your needs:
While I deeply empathize with individuals facing significant challenges, it's crucial to acknowledge that my current services may not fully address certain specialized needs.
If you are actively experiencing suicidal ideation, engaging in harmful impulsive behaviors, living in unsafe environments, or grappling with severe mood deregulation and traumatic stress, I recommend seeking immediate assistance from professionals who specialize in crisis intervention and more intensive therapeutic interventions.
My Specialties
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a therapeutic approach to help individuals overcome distressing memories. Comparable to organizing books on a shelf, EMDR assists in 'unsticking' troubling memories through bilateral stimulation. This process aims to change the emotional impact of memories, empowering individuals to integrate these experiences into their life story with reduced distress. EMDR has shown effectiveness in providing relief from trauma-related symptoms, fostering healing and a sense of control.
IFS
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a therapeutic approach that views the mind as a collection of 'parts,' each with its own thoughts, feelings, and roles. IFS helps individuals explore and understand these internal dynamics, fostering harmony and self-discovery. Through guided introspection, clients develop a compassionate relationship with their internal 'parts,' leading to healing and a more integrated sense of self. IFS has proven effective in addressing a range of emotional challenges by facilitating inner balance and self-connection.
CF-ACT
Compassion-Focused Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (CF-ACT) is a therapeutic approach that helps individuals cultivate self-compassion while embracing acceptance and commitment to personal values. By integrating mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral strategies, CF-ACT empowers clients to navigate challenges, reduce self-criticism, and live more in alignment with their values. This approach is effective in promoting psychological flexibility and enhancing overall well-being.
What your journey with me might look like
At the heart of my therapeutic approach is collaboration and individualization—tailored to meet your unique needs.
Guiding you through an introspective process with compassion, presence, and attunement is one of my greatest strengths. Instead of offering quick fixes, I empower you to discover your own answers, providing the necessary direction and support.
Throughout our sessions, I'll encourage somatic practices, inviting you to connect with your body and explore the profound mind-body connection. Mindfulness will play an active role, fostering a deeper understanding of your thoughts and emotions.
In our therapeutic journey, I won't shield you from discomfort, ambiguity, or silence. Instead, I strive to create a warm and safe space that allows you to access your inner wisdom. Together, we'll work on developing coping skills and self-regulation techniques before delving into more profound aspects of your experience. The depth of our work is guided by your comfort and pace.
It's important to note that I may not be the perfect fit for everyone. If, at any point, we find that our collaboration isn't effectively meeting your challenges, I am committed to exploring referrals to ensure you receive the best support on your journey.
