Welcome!I'm excited to offer the superpower of IFS--Internal Family Systems--to help you go deep--to find, get to know, and heal the parts of you that hurt. And, to do so from your most compassionate, gentle and wisest self. IFS is widely considered to be one of THE most effective forms of therapy.
With IFS, we'll get to know the young parts of you that carry difficult feelings and behaviors, such as shame, attachment trauma, perfectionism, depression, social isolation, addictions of various kinds, and rage. As I guide you in getting to know these parts and their stories from a place of curiousity and compassion, you begin to develop a deep and caring relationship with them, and they no longer feel so alone. You begin to feel more integrated--less at war with yourself--and increasingly able to help your parts when they become activated. We can then heal these young parts and remove them from the painful past they've been stuck in. I see both individual adults and couples. With couples I use a combination of techniques, primarily EMF (Emotionally Focused Therapy) and IFS. In all my work, I bring a warm heart, analytical mind, and careful listening to bear on people's difficulties. You'll find in me a caring and compassionate ally you can trust and achieve results with. I'm currently accepting new clients for day time, evening and weekend appointments, both in person in Oakland and by video. I invite you to text me at 415-860-3753 to schedule a free 20- to 45-minute phone or video consultation.🌿 |
