Many of my clients have deep-seated beliefs that they're "not good enough" or "too much." This might manifest as feeling guilty when resting, feeling inadequate at work, or feeling the need to prove themselves in relationships. These feelings can be intense and overwhelming, especially for those who identify as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). This typically involves feeling deeply affected by others emotions. I work with clients many who identify as HSP, as well as members of the LGBTQIA+ community. I prioritize affirmative care, and I focus on being trauma-informed for all of my clients.
As a Highly Sensitive Therapist (HST) myself, I understand the unique gifts and challenges that come with heightened sensitivity, allowing me to uniquely empathize. Through collaboration, we will find an individualized approach for you, to support you in managing stress, avoiding burnout, and addressing issues like people-pleasing and boundary difficulties.
I’m deeply committed to supporting you in breaking generational cycles and finding inner empowerment to create a life full of joy, inner strength, and a deep sense of confidence. My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed, incorporating EMDR and IFS which are both transformative in healing the wounded and burdened parts of our internal system.

I work closely with clients struggling with relationship difficulties, anxiety, and avoidance due to trauma. I also prioritize providing affirmative care to those in the LGBTQIA-plus community.

In our work together, I use a therapeutic approach called Internal Family Systems, or IFS. This method helps us explore the different parts of your psyche with their own unique perspectives/needs. We'll work on understanding the roles and purposes of these different parts. In addition, I integrate EMDR to address and transmute the effects of trauma stored in the body and in the subconscious.
