About this IFS professional:
I offer a warm, integrative space where parts-based and relational work meet. As an IFS-informed therapist, I help people meet the protective and wounded parts of themselves with curiosity rather than judgement — and find that, in time, what once felt unspeakable becomes speakable. I work with individuals and couples, drawing on EMDR, Gottman, Imago and narrative approaches alongside IFS to suit each person.
What sets my work apart is a foundation in philosophy and psychology, 26 years of clinical experience across diverse settings, and a deep interest in how safety is built in the therapy room. I believe lasting change happens when people feel genuinely understood.
