Internal Family Systems

The core belief of Internal Family Systems (IFS) is that we all have a core Self — a place within us that is calm, compassionate, and connected. We also have many "parts" that have developed over our lives to protect us. Some parts may be anxious or critical, while others carry the weight of past pain. In IFS, we gently get to know and befriend these parts, helping them release their burdens and allowing our true Self to lead. It’s a process of internal healing and reintegration, where every part of you is welcome and understood.

Somatic Therapy

Our bodies hold stories and memories that our conscious minds may have forgotten. Somatic therapy invites us to explore the profound wisdom held within our physical selves. Instead of just talking about feelings, we pay attention to what's happening in your body. Through gentle awareness and guided practices, we can release held tension, process trauma, and build a stronger, more trusting relationship with our physical experience, finding a sense of safety and groundedness.

Dream Analysis

Dreams offer a direct path to our deepest thoughts, fears, and desires. They are rich with symbols and metaphors—the language of our unconscious. Through the interpretation process, we approach each dream with reverence and gain clarity surrounding your inner world. We may explore the recurring themes, emotions, places, and characters that appear, seeing them as guides to better understand your waking life.

Tarot Reading

Tarot is a spiritual tool that truth seekers have turned to for millennia, serving as a powerful lens for reflection and self-discovery. Rather than collecting assumptions about the future — which is expansive, elusive, and ever-shifting — we explore the present moment to illuminate the archetypal patterns at play in your life. The cards’ symbols and stories can act as mirrors that allow us to see more clearly from a new perspective. This depth-oriented practice is another way to engage with our intuition, which dwells in the unconscious mind.
