“Healing doesn't mean the damage never existed. It means the damage no longer controls our lives.”
Akshay Dubey
I believe you are the expert of your own life, with a unique and deeply personal experience and that the most meaningful changes emerge from deepening your inner awareness and enhancing your ability to express your experience.
By gently cultivating mindful connections with your inner world, we can explore techniques to deepen your self-awareness, nurture your innate sense of self, and enhance your ability to fully communicate your needs and wants.
I am a Level I trained Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist. In my practice, I blend attatchment theory and strength-based perspectives through the IFS lens offering a warm, compassionate, non-judgemental and validating approach to support my clients.
Approach
“Communicating fully is the opposite of being traumatized.” Bessel van der Kolk
We begin with a complementary consultation to learn about my services and to identify some of the challenges you're facing. This session will provide you with the opportunity to ask questions and delve into the Internal Family Systems (IFS) process and what you can expect from our work together.
