I specialize in helping clients heal from trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, loneliness, and parenting struggles. Know that when you reach out to me, you will be met with compassion, kindness, support, and a safe place to look inside yourself. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families throughout their lifespan.
I help my clients gain greater compassion and understanding for who they are. Together we achieve new perspectives, and heal from what is keeping you from living a meaningful, courageous, and fulfilling life. We can face shame, sadness, fear, anger, trauma, anxiety, and other issues together by building on your strengths and resilience.
My approach is a blend of techniques grounded in the Internal Family Systems (IFS) Model. My education at Northwestern University, combined with my experience with systemic and strength-based approaches, as well as my character traits of being warm, genuine, compassionate, and lightheartedness create a safe space for clients that welcomes change.
