Psychotherapy
I believe meaningful change happens when we have the space to meet ourselves with honesty, curiosity, and compassion. My role is to walk alongside you as you develop a deeper understanding of yourself, reconnect with your own wisdom, and discover new possibilities for how you want to live.
I offer psychotherapy virtually, in person in Providence, Rhode Island, and outdoors in nature.
In our sessions, rather than simply talk about your feelings, we may slow down and notice what's happening in your body as you speak. We might explore a particular sensation, gesture, emotional response, or recurring pattern with curiosity and self-compassion.
I draw from several therapeutic approaches, including:
Hakomi
Hakomi is a mindfulness-based, body-centered approach to psychotherapy. Through gentle attention and experiential exploration, we can begin to uncover deeply held beliefs and patterns that shape how we experience ourselves and the world.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Parts Work
We all have different parts of ourselves that hold particular emotions, beliefs, fears, and ways of responding to the world. Exploring these parts with curiosity and compassion can help us better understand our internal experiences and develop a more trusting relationship with ourselves.
Somatic Therapy
Our bodies hold important information about our experiences. By bringing awareness to physical sensations, nervous system responses, and patterns of tension or protection, we can begin to access experiences that may be difficult to reach through words alone.
Mindfulness and Ecotherapy
Mindfulness invites us to meet our present-moment experience with greater awareness and compassion. My work also incorporates our relationship with the natural world, recognizing that time in nature can offer opportunities for grounding, perspective, connection, and healing.
What We Might Explore Together
You might be seeking support with:
Repeating relationship patterns or attachment wounds
The lasting effects of difficult or traumatic experiences
Feeling disconnected from your body, emotions, or sense of self
Anxiety, overwhelm, or difficulty trusting yourself
Life transitions and questions about who you are becoming
A desire for deeper self-understanding and personal growth
There is no single path or formula for this work. Our sessions are collaborative, and we move at a pace that respects your individual experience.
