If you're carrying the weight of difficult relationships, old wounds, or the belief that your needs don't quite matter — you've found a safe place.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, low self-worth, and complex family dynamics. Drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS) and somatic awareness, we'll get to know the parts of you that protect, hurt, and are still waiting to be heard — while building real, felt safety in your nervous system.
Many clients come to me exhausted from years of putting everyone else first. You don't have to keep doing that alone.
Now offering supervision.

My aim is to help move clients from a place of stress, hurt, and suffering to a place of increased self-awareness, self-compassion, and strength. I strongly believe that each client has the answers for a healthier, happier, and meaningful life within themselves. My role as a therapist is to help you discover these "answers" and help you put them into place. I tend to support youth and adults who are experiencing various life stressors; persons with symptoms of anxiety or low mood and self-esteem; persons struggling with emotional regulation; and persons who wish to move from floundering in their lives to flourishing.

Life transitions can quietly shake the foundation of who we are.
A career change may bring uncertainty, loss of identity, or fear about financial security. Retirement can stir unexpected grief, questions of purpose, or shifts in relationships. The loss of a loved one can leave you feeling unmoored, overwhelmed, or profoundly alone. Even positive changes — a promotion, children leaving home, a new chapter — can create anxiety, self-doubt, and a sense that the ground beneath you is shifting.
