Maybe you look together on the outside, but inside you feel exhausted from holding it all together. You may be hard on yourself, caught in overthinking or people pleasing, or experience a constant hum of worry or anxiety. Sleep can be disrupted by racing thoughts or nightmares, and stress may show up in your body through tension, pain, or health flare-ups. Relationships can trigger self-doubt or anxious attachment. The uncertainty and lack of safety in the world can exacerbate these symptoms. You crave an internal sense of calm, balance, and trust. You want to feel confident in yourself, your relationships, and in uncertainty.
I specialize in Internal Family Systems therapy, a gentle, trauma-informed approach that helps you understand and heal parts of you shaped by your history and environment–even parts you may fear, judge, or try to push away. Together, we can help you develop inner trust and compassion, so you can navigate life with greater confidence, clarity, and wisdom.
I offer a warm, affirming space where all parts of you and all identities are welcome. Therapy is collaborative, paced to your needs, and mindful of cultural and systemic influences. If you’re ready for support on your healing journey and this feels right, you’re welcome to book a consult call to connect, or search Living Tides Psychotherapy for more info :)

I primarily support clients through an Internal Family Systems (IFS) lens, drawing from Emotion-Focused Therapy, attachment science, neuroscience, and pain reprocessing when helpful. My goal is to foster insight, self-compassion, and inner harmony—collaborating with you to create lasting change by "teaching you how to fish" instead of fishing for you.
