Therapeutic work at Hearthside Healing is focused on self discovery; exploring parts, sides, and aspects of Self you have never met before.

Therapy is person-centered, primarily through an IFS (Internal Family Systems) lens, with a lite focus on somatic awareness - "where do you feel that in your body and how is that sensation showing up".

I work from a mixture of lenses, all rooted in an affirming perspective of you as a whole, worthy, and full person. These lenses include systemic and holistic; understanding that every struggle an individual faces does not exist in a vacuum outside of oppressive and controlling systems, and we as individuals have the ability to create change within ourselves that ripples out to our communities and worlds. Sometimes work with me is deconstructing how these systems have defined and categorized you: who are you in spite of these systems?

If you could strip away all meaning, story, and narrative that your world placed upon you; who would you be? And if you wrote your story and meaning yourself; who do you get to become? What story will you write alongside the stories our societies tell us about ourselves and each other?
