HI, I'M INGRID
Let's embrace an empowering space together.
I am a licensed mental health counselor rooted in Narrative therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT,) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) and trained in EMDR. I love working with both individuals and relationships. My therapy approach is eclectic, and I often borrow from several therapy theories because we may need different support for the many different moments of exploration in our lives.
​
I provide feminist-oriented, relational care. Honoring intersecting identities and acknowledging the experiences we hold is an integral part of the therapeutic process. I am a neurodivergent person who uses the same therapeutic theories on myself that I do with clients. We contain multitudes and it's my belief that naming the parts that make up who we are help us understand that it's never only one thing.​
​
In our sessions, we will often discuss learning about your core values. My strongest value is community. Being a therapist is a role I am honored to hold in someone's community. Through any rupture, challenge, or difficult topic: my goal is to respect and protect our relationship by upholding the ethics and beauty of this role. ​​​
