My work integrates somatic experiencing therapy and nervous system awareness to support deep emotional healing, self-understanding, and connection in a more embodied way.
You may look capable and high-functioning on the outside while internally feeling lost, emotionally exhausted, hypervigilant, disconnected from yourself, uncertain about your relationships, or overwhelmed by change.
Many of the people I work with are navigating periods of deep transition or chronic tension: grief and loss, burnout, relationship changes, identity shifts, existential questioning, emotional overwhelm or dysregulation, shutdown, attachment wounding, trauma symptoms, or the quiet realization that the life they built no longer feels sustainable or full alive.

Let’s get this clear from the start: you aren’t ill, disordered, or flawed. You’re a human living in a world that creates constant stress and demands perfection. SO, while we will work on improving your quality of life, we’re going to focus on UNlearning just as much as learning. I like to explore, challenge, and empower you to lean into the difficult stuff using a gentle yet firm approach. My goal is to help you be able to accept those uncomfortable thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them, and to connect you with a sense of confidence, clarity, and courage to live the way you want to.

Using an integrative, evidence-based approach rooted in both cognitive and somatic therapies, I support both the mind and body in the healing process.
I specialize in grief, trauma, attachment, and relationship challenges. Grief can take many forms — the loss of a loved one, the end of a relationship, loss of ourself or changes in identity. I work with individuals navigating grief and trauma rooted in both childhood and adult experiences.
I draw from modalities that include CPT, CFT, DBT, IFS, and EMDR.

I specialize in working with individuals, couples and pairs using Internal Family Systems (IFS Level 2), somatic practices, and CBT for Insomnia (CBT-I).
Do you feel constantly exhausted, like your brain and body are running on empty or stuck on high alert? Maybe you’re navigating deep burnout, processing heavy past experiences, or adjusting to life after a traumatic brain injury or concussion. Perhaps you and your partner are feeling disconnected, repeating the same exhausting arguments, or struggling to find your way back to each other. Whatever you’re carrying, you don't have to navigate it alone. I offer a quiet, supportive space where you can drop the mask, catch your breath, and go at your own pace.

I use an integrative approach including CBT, DBT, narrative therapy, somatic approaches, and Exposure and Response Prevention for anxiety and OCD.
Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you have felt misunderstood, judged, or unseen in other spaces. You may be navigating anxiety, OCD, panic, questions around identity, relationships, or self worth. I work with clients seeking therapy that feels affirming, non judgmental, and grounded in emotional safety, where you do not need to explain or defend who you are in order to be supported.

I provide psychological assessment and therapy for children, teens and adults who may be facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, or issues of self-worth.

Whether the goal is to better understand a diagnosis, explore strategies for coping, or create a plan for growth, I work collaboratively with clients and families to build trust, highlight strengths, and support meaningful change.

May 2026 - You are walking on eggshells. Always on high alert, your highly sensitive neurodivergent brain is always scanning the room to make sure everything is okay. You over-apologize, over-explain, over-share or disconnect and push your emotions deep down. You feel different - too emotional, too “much”. A sense of loneliness and longing for something you can’t describe looms in the background. No matter what you try the feeling that there’s “something wrong with you” just won’t let up. You try to feel better - you have journaled, meditated, tried therapy, medication, breathwork…but nothing seems to help for long.

We'll explore how your inner world shows up in your relationships, your body, and your day-to-day life and I draw from different approaches depending on what feels most helpful for you in the moment, including CBT, somatic therapy, parts work, mindfulness, and attachment-based work.
As a therapist, my practice is rooted with a psychodynamic approach, which really just means I’m interested in the deeper layers of your experience, your patterns, your relationships, and the ways your past might still be shaping how you feel and show up in the world today. I’m less focused on quick fixes and more interested in meaningful, lasting change that comes from truly understanding yourself with more compassion and clarity.

I support young adults who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or uncertain about what's next. Whether you're navigating school, university, work, relationships, family expectations, ADHD, self-esteem, burnout, or major life transitions, I provide a supportive, judgment-free space where you can be yourself. Many of my clients are high achievers who look like they have it all together on the outside but feel stressed, disconnected, or exhausted on the inside. Together, we'll work toward greater confidence, balance, and a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling.

I work collaboratively with my clients exclusively from an Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy and Somatic Therapy perspective.
The past throws stones to the present, and that is what brings many people to therapy. I believe we all have the capacity to heal, but often our own story can get in the way of that healing. If this is your first time seeking out a therapist or if you've done this before, it is my hope to work alongside you, at your pace, and collaborate to make a plan that addresses your needs. With this, it is important for you to choose a therapist who is a good fit and connects to your needs. I encourage you to explore my website and reach out to me to determine if we are that fit for you.

Aug 2026 - Accepting New Clients! Are you an intelligent, hardworking, empathic person - but you feel so stuck? You know the problem: people pleasing, not asking for help, overapologizing, perfectionism, overworking, putting everybody elses’ needs above your own. Your anxiety is relentless, your inner critic berates your every word, and you’re on a constant self-improvement mission. You wonder if you have anxiety, late-diagnosed ADHD, or maybe even depression or trauma. You've read the self-help books, tried meditation, mental health walks, journaling...You know at the core you need to "love yourself", but don't know how
