With 20 years of experience, my passion is utilizing the Internal Family Systems framework to support my clients in their healing.
I support my clients in enhancing their overall self-awareness and ability to navigate complex emotions. Within each of us is a reservoir of inner wisdom that we often lose access to through trauma or challenging life experiences. I can support you in re-gaining a sense of trust within, emotion regulation, clarity and empowerment in your day to day life.

I integrate family systems therapies, EMDR, the Gottman Method, and CBT to create a personalized path toward your unique goals.
You strive to present an image of success and composure, yet deep down, self-doubt and past challenges weigh heavily on you.
Maybe you feel disconnected—unseen and unheard for who you truly are. Overwhelmed by life’s circumstances. Struggling in relationships. Lost, alone, wondering if anyone could ever understand.
Seeking support can feel daunting, especially if past therapy experiences left you feeling unheard. Healing is possible. You're not meant to navigate this alone. Together, we can create a space for healing, growth, and real change.
