If you often find yourself feeling out of place or struggling inside—even though other people think you have it all together—I can help. I work with individual adults who are familiar with psychotherapy and want deeper, root-level healing for symptoms related to anxiety and relational trauma. This can include concerns around relationships, life transitions, overthinking, people-pleasing, self-doubt, self-limiting beliefs and thought patterns, boundaries, and self-criticism. My style is active, spacious, and focused on supporting you in slowing down, tuning into yourself, and feeling the healing wisdom that thrives within you.

My approach blends mindfulness and somatic inquiry with relational/psychodynamic and Internal Family Systems therapy. With me, you’ll connect the dots between your upbringing and the strategies you took on to cope with it, and you’ll develop new ways of easing the tensions that keep you stuck.

I welcome motivated, self-reflective clients of any identity to my practice, with a particular affinity with those identifying as empathic, highly sensitive, creative, Black, and/or multiracial. I also welcome therapists seeking individual or group consultation in IFS. To get started, contact me for a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation.
