My Therapy Approach
Existential Inquiry
At the heart of many of life’s challenges are deep existential questions: What matters to me? What’s the point? How do I want to spend my time? What inspires me? What frightens me? These questions quietly shape how we live - what we prioritize, where we direct our efforts, and what we believe gives life meaning.
In therapy, we bring these questions into the open. By exploring the assumptions we’ve taken for granted and challenging long-held beliefs, we create space for new perspectives. There’s no blueprint for life - and your path depends on what feels meaningful to you and how you want to live it.
Somatic Therapy
Somatic therapy is about exploring the mind–body connection and learning to listen when the mind doesn’t have all the answers. Through practices like breath-work, guided imagery, and sensory awareness we invite the body to communicate what it already knows.
Just like you’d take a car to a mechanic when a warning light comes on, your body gives signals that deserve attention. By turning toward those signals - grounding in the present moment instead of being pulled into the past or future - you can access powerful insights, release stored tension, and find new pathways for healing.
Parts Work (IFS)
“Parts Work” (or Internal Family Systems) offers a new way of understanding the mind - not as a single, unified personality, but as a community of “parts” shaped by your life experiences. The strategies used by these “parts” often made perfect sense in the past, but may not serve you as well in the present.
In “parts work,” we explore and get to know these inner parts with curiosity and compassion, recognizing that each has a purpose and a story. The goal is to help you step into the role of a wise, balanced leader for your internal community - validating and caring for each part, while choosing which voices guide your actions today. This approach creates internal harmony, allowing you to move through the world with greater clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.
