Are you feeling anxious in your relationships, stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand, or caught between different parts of yourself? Maybe one part of you is highly capable and driven, while another feels overwhelmed, self-critical, or exhausted. Perhaps you are feeling stuck and having trouble moving forward in your life. My work is primarily informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS), an experiential approach that helps you understand and heal the different parts of yourself, so that you can move forward with understanding and confidence.
Together, we’ll slow down and gently explore the parts of you that carry anxiety, self-doubt, grief, or old protective patterns. Rather than trying to “fix” you, our work together will focus on helping you develop a compassionate, curious relationship with yourself so you can feel more grounded, clear, and more confident.
If you're looking for experiential therapy and meaningful internal change, we may be a good fit. Clients often share that I am a warm, engaged therapist who listens closely and creates a space where they can slow down and explore at their own pace. Please reach out to set up a free 15-minute phone consultation and we discuss your goals for therapy.

I specialize in working with adults 18-50 who feel stuck in recurring emotional or relational patterns. Together, we explore the different parts of you - the anxious part, the driven part, the inner critic, the part that feels overwhelmed - with curiosity and compassion. Rather than pushing feelings away, we slow down and gently turn toward them, helping you build greater internal clarity.
