Inspired by Internal Family Systems (IFS) integrated with expressive arts, "ED" is approached with radical acceptance and fierce compassion to fully transform and heal. IFS was founded by Dr. Richard Schwartz and developed from his work with eating disorders. He believed each part has a purpose and that "There are no bad parts." When we are able to connect to our inner wisdom or what IFS refers to as "Self Energy" we can gain profound compassion that is self healing.

The Highly Sensitive Personality trait allows us to feel others so deeply we may develop empathetic distress. The dialectical to this is that feeling so deeply may be overwhelming , especially in crowds and during intensely emotional experiences. As an HSP myself, I understand the depth of what it is like to try and navigate in a world that feels overstimulating. Using integrative approaches to fit your unique HSP experience, you can transform what feels like a burden into a strength and gift.

I specialize in childhood trauma and sexual abuse. Using HeartMath® biofeedback; expressive arts; and "Heart Empowerment" labs, I support you to explore the part of you that may be resistance to change. This is an especially delicate process when healing trauma. I follow your pace as we work collaboratively to unburden your past and give opportunity for missing experiences in order to heal in the now.

emWave technology from HeartMath®, a nonprofit organization that researches the science of intuition and the heart brain, gives biofeedback on heart rate variability (HRV) or how rhythmic our breath is. In turn, this indicates how coherent our thoughts are. This is a powerful way to monitor mindfulness and presence, allowing our smartest brain to lead our day to day decisions for more flow, ease and joy.

EXPRESSIVE ARTS is a powerful yet gentle way to express internal processes and subconscious thoughts in context of healing trauma and exploring issues with creativity and imagination. 

While working at a holistic healing center I developed a profound interest in eating disorders. This led to my interest and education in Internal Family Systems. And how to integrate expressive arts into the IFS approach. Dr. Richard Schwartz who developed IFS did so because of his work with individuals with severe cases of eating disorders. From the many treatment approaches I have experienced and researched, IFS stands out to me for its depth in compassion and self-empowerment.
