Hello! I am Joris [YO-ris] (she/they).

Too Much to Do, Too Little for You?
Doing It All, Not Feeling Enough?
Tired & Alone?
I See You. I Will Hold You in Hope.

I am a woman, born in Albania, highly educated in Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States, and currently living in the Greater Boston Area, with the commitment to support individuals to rest and belong, even in uncertain times, through changes big or small. 
 
I am a Parent Coach and an Internal Family Systems Practitioner, because I want to support wisdom and belonging at home and beyond, for the future success of the next generations. And I know how to access the plenty of wisdom in partnerships.
​
I help individuals become confident authentic humans, peaceful at home and at work. I show you how to cultivate clarity and curiosity in all relationships. I offer partnerships that lighten the weight and exhaustion of caretaking, so that you live authentically without sacrifices, even at moments of transition & change.

Be the Human You Want to Be! 
Find Your Plenty Within! 

​Being present for others without sacrificing yourself?!
Supporting others authentically without loosing you?!
Being rested enough to trust and develop win-win strategies when in conflict or moments of transition?!
​These all may seem out of your reach, but I guarantee you this can be your reality - at home and at work - if you let me become a guide in your journeys within.
​
Will you gift yourself a chance to transformation?
Will you gift me the honors of witnessing and providing some much needed relief to the hard-working tired parts of you?
​Will you gift your loved ones your imperfect and fabulous best selves - an anchor to safely navigate their lives even at high seas of change?
My practice is relational, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive.

​As a social scientist and researcher of power and culture in society for more than a decade, I am mindful of how even when we are in the same storm, we are rarely in the same boat.  

My Approach

You Are Not Alone
When You Find Partners In Belonging:

​SELF ENERGY

As a Certified Level-1 Internal Family Systems (IFS) Practitioner, I know you already have curiosity, calm, clarity, courage, creativity, confidence, compassion, and connectedness in you.
​You do not have to be alone if you learn to join in with your inner powers.
​I can help you access your inner powers.

​LOVED OTHERS

As a Certified Parenting Coach, I know you can parent in joy & peace.
​You do not have to be alone if you learn to join with your loved ones in growing together nourished by your love.
​I can help you employ your love gently.

NATURE

As a Certified Nature & Forest Therapy Guide, I know nature is always there for you, to hold all parts of you - as you are.
​You do not have to be alone if you learn to slow down and let nature be your therapist.
​I can help you trust in your nature.

Here is How We Can
​Journey Together...

internal family systems
IFS is a non-pathologizing therapeutic model that supports people to get into relationship with different facets of themselves, approaching the multiple parts that make them who they are, with curiosity, compassion, trust and deep care.

​parent coaching
Parent coaching offers a path to gain clarity, confidence, and connection for caretakers who are tired of feeling disconnected and shameful about their relationship with their kids, believing the myth that parenting has to be perfect and done alone.
Both offerings will support your transformation and growth as a human. 
  • If you want to do deeper work and heal more wounds, examine your past and become the authentic human being you want to be, I would suggest we journey together with IFS sessions.
  • If you are or expect to be a parent or caretaker of kids at some point, and you need tips and strategies to be applied quickly, in the present or in the near future, to become more confident in relationships with children, I would suggest starting with parent coaching sessions. 

​I work with:

  • Individuals
    • Responsible for raising kiddos of ages 0 to 22 years old (parents, grandparents, relatives, friends)
    • Thinking or expecting to become parents
    • Curious about re-parenting their inner kids
    • Engaged in diversity, inclusion or social justice work
  • Organizations
    • Interested in training their leadership teams 
    • Investing in diversity, inclusion and belonging initiatives for their employees
    • Navigating organizational culture changes 

I work with clients who are grappling with:

  • Feeling overwhelmed + anxious
  • Perfectionism + overdoing
  • Shame + guilt over parenting
  • Loneliness + exhaustion 
  • Culture transitions + balancing losses and gains of change
  • Wounds of neglect + attachment traumas
  • Lack of confidence + boundary-setting
  • Multicultural families + intercultural communication
