Ingrid specializes in clarifying and organizing emotionally complex and relationally challenging issues, helping clients move from internal chaos to clarity. What sets Ingrid apart is her deep understanding of the emotional experience of human-to-human connection and its power for being the wellspring of change. She's not just logical; she's deeply relational and emotionally attuned, providing regulation and gently challenging patterns of avoidance or resistance to unlock true growth. Ingrid models this vital attunement, empowering clients to cultivate this essential connection within themselves and with their loved ones. Clients emerge with closer, more authentic relationships, a deeper awareness of their own patterns, and the tools to build personal trust and safety, truly healing from trauma and fostering improved communication. Outside of her fulfilling work, Ingrid is committed to lifelong learning, cherishes her family, enjoys reading, spending time with friends, and exploring the intricate connections between the human body and psyche.
