Welcome! I am a Clinical Social Worker offering individual therapy to adults seeking support in healing their relationship to Self, attachment wounds, and relational traumas. You might be in an anxious-avoidant dance, noticing painful relationship patterns, feeling stuck in a loop of relational ambivalence, or want to resolve what's blocking deeper connections. You might be navigating difficult family relationships and questioning estrangement and boundaries. Perhaps you are noticing a harsh inner-critic, self-doubt, the urge to people please, or a disconnection from Self (the person you are and want to be; at your core).
I hope my presence will feel relatable, genuine, and calming. My practice is informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS), Trauma-Focused Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (TF-ACT), attachment theory and somatic mindfulness. I am trained in Attachment-Focused Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (AF-EMDR), and working towards full certification.
To turn inwards and share the most vulnerable parts of Self is so courageous. I am here to provide a safe space for the parts of you that are asking to be seen, heard and understood in a way that is transformative to your inner and outer worlds.

I make every effort to motivate my clients to deeply integrate the work outside of session. I encourage self-reflection, accountability, and values-based living. Sometimes you might need to vent and take it lighter in session. Therefore, supportive counselling is a short-term option, however, l will ask you to be an active participant in the therapeutic alliance.

From the time we are born, we need connection to thrive emotionally, physically, spiritually, and intellectually...I don't think we're supposed to help ourselves. I think we're supposed to help each other. I don't think we're supposed to do it alone...We were never meant to. We are neuro-biologically hardwired to be in connection with other people. - Brene Brown
