Journey to Self Love

Internal Family Systems Therapy, Consultation, and Psychedelic Integration Counseling

“The more we can cultivate curiosity and compassion towards ourselves, the more we can heal our wounds.”

—Richard Schwartz, Ph.D.

Do you have a relentless inner critic?

I can help you move towards self-love by helping you develop compassion within.

Do you have difficulty standing up for yourself in relationships?
Do you often feel hurt or angry at others?

I can help you set boundaries and develop the confidence to communicate with authenticity.

Do you have childhood history of loss, abuse, substance abuse, divorce or other trauma?

I can help you heal, by empowering you to take positive steps in your life to overcome depression, anxiety and low self-esteem. I will help you to see your inner magnificence and love yourself more.

I use Internal Family Systems therapy, trauma theory, psychedelic integration therapy, as well as psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral techniques to help you change your life, and most importantly, your relationship with yourself. 

Wisdom

I’ll teach you to access your inner wisdom from your higher Self. From this place of understanding and clarity, it becomes easier to make changes and life-decisions.

Intuition

I guide clients to tune in to their intuition and insight, utilizing mindfulness, somatic awareness and parts work with Internal Family Systems therapy to understand your experiences, feelings, needs and to ultimately support healing.

Self-Compassion

I believe that we can heal our pain and trauma by learning how to direct self-compassion to parts of us that need understanding. This self-compassion is part of our innate Self, and can be cultivated and expanded to help us navigate life.

Empowerment

I support clients to take active steps in their lives to go beyond their perceived limits, and to see that ‘past is not precedent.’ From this awareness, it is possible to make positive changes, bringing greater, joy, peace and self-love into one’s life.
