Trauma-Informed Therapy Specialties
I integrate many therapy approaches, and draw heavily on Internal Family Systems Therapy / parts work
You're more than capable of building a life that is levels above the story you were handed.
I don't believe you're broken, and I don't see you as a diagnosis to be treated. I see you as a whole human navigating a complicated world the best way you know how.
Together, we may gently explore the deeper roots of your struggles, make sense of the ways you've learned to cope and protect yourself, and honor the wisdom in those adaptations while also noticing what may no longer be serving your life, relationships, or future.
I draw heavily from Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) for individuals and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples.
Clients often describe me as warm, genuine, and easy to talk to. I bring a compassionate heart and an uplifting spirit to our work. In our sessions, you don't have to hide the parts of yourself that feel shameful, angry, painful, or grieving. There is room for all of you here, the anger and tears, the hope and fears, the laughter and messiness of being human.
I'll meet you where you are, move at a pace that feels right for you, and sit alongside you through the moments that are hardest to hold, while helping you connect with strengths and possibilities that may feel out of reach.
Therapy can help you build a stronger, more compassionate relationship with yourself and deeper, healthier relationships with others, while moving toward a life that feels more authentic, purposeful, and fulfilling.

INTERNAL FAMILY SYSTEMS (IFS) / PARTS WORK
My approach is trauma-informed, holistic, and deeply personalized. I draw from multiple evidence-based approaches and weave them together in a way that honors the whole of who you are: mind, body, heart, and soul. I'm genuine, warm, and deeply compassionate. I'll laugh with you, sit in the hard moments with you, and gently challenge you when it's time.

People-pleasers are not weak, naive, or simply “too nice.” They are people who, at some point in their development, learned a very important lesson: my needs are not safe to have. My “no” is dangerous. Conflict means abandonment. And if I can just make everyone comfortable, maybe I will be okay.
