My Therapeutic Approaches
-
Internal Family Systems
Internal Family Systems (IFS) views each person as a complex system of "inner parts," both protective and wounded, all guided by a core "Self" that is inherently present and capable of healing
-
EMDR
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a therapeutic approach designed to help people process and heal from traumatic experiences. This method can help reduce emotional charge and integrate memories into a healthier narrative.
-
Self Compassion Work
Self-compassion means being kind and understanding toward ourselves when we suffer, fail, or feel inadequate, rather than ignoring our pain or flagellating ourselves with self-criticism.
Beyond therapy: workshops for growth
I’m proud to help bring workshops to life with fellow clinicians. Here are two of the groups I work with:
Women Who Thrive workshops are a space for women ready to embrace personal growth, deepen self-reflection, and build meaningful connections. These sessions, led by myself and a team of dedicated colleagues, invite you into a community of like-minded women who inspire and uplift one another.
The Mental Health Lou workshops, part of the Mind-Body Wellness Series at LFPL, offer practical and empowering ways to connect with your mental and physical health. Explore topics like how food impacts your mood, tools to ease anxiety, better sleep strategies, and more—all designed to help you feel more balanced, capable, and at ease.
