In the counseling room I utilize several therapeutic approaches, including IFS (Internal Family Systems), Self Compassion Focus, EMDR, and Somatic awareness. Using a blend of these approaches, my hope for clients is that they will experience relief from deep pain points, as well as learn to build a safe compassionate relationship with themselves. I believe each person has individual wisdom and goodness, but often life experiences have made that part retreat to stay safe. When we can move through the painful roles and coping skills we took on along the way to get by, we can rediscover what has already been within the whole time. I do also have additional focus on working with people of faith, I understand the world of Christianity, for all it’s good and bad parts.
