I’m honored to work with people feeling heartache inside the constraints of our modern world. Through conditioning + relational wounding we temporarily lose touch with the innate wisdom of our souls + bodies. Life can feel chaotic and daunting - we question ourselves and can lack the feeling of vitality. If you long to experience belonging as your true self I’m here to guide you back to safety in relationship with yourself, your body + others. I was brought to this meaningful work through personal experience of rising above trauma. I’m devoted to helping others out of the depths of struggle + into fulfillment & connection.

Using evidence-based approaches like Internal Family Systems ( IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and the Trauma Integration Protocol (TIP), we work to heal the root causes of your struggle rather than just managing the symptoms.
Do you feel like you're living behind a wall of past trauma, even when you're doing your best to move forward? My ideal clients are often highly motivated but feel "stuck" in old patterns, weighed down by anxiety, depression, or complex trauma. They know something needs to change but feel disconnected from the process. I help individuals and couples move past merely "coping." By exploring your internal world with curiosity and compassion, we work collaboratively to heal the root causes of distress. My goal is to help you release the burdens of the past and build a grounded, authentic present where true integration happens.

You may be struggling with anxiety or depression, feeling depleted, on edge, or disconnected from yourself. You might also be recovering from a relationship marked by manipulation, emotional volatility, gaslighting, or chronic self-doubt. These experiences can leave you confused, hypervigilant, or unsure of your own perceptions. Often thoughtful, empathic, and capable, many people adapt by over-functioning or minimizing harm. You want clarity, nervous-system relief, and a way to rebuild trust in your own inner reality—without being blamed or pathologized.

Compassionate Inquiry, Internal Family Systems ( IFS), and Brainspotting embody the heart of my counseling approach.
"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate." -Carl Jung.
Do you feel in control of your life? This quote by Jung describes how at times we can move through life feeling like puppets on a string, driven by some deep mystery within. Our habits, outbursts, shutdown, and overwhelm all reflect the unknown on the inside.
Therapy is a place to enter into the unknown of our lives to make sense of it all. I journey with people as they face the painful parts of themselves and their story so that they can move forward in life.

Sometimes the life that looks most successful from the outside is the one that feels most costly behind closed doors. My clients are high-achieving professionals and couples who are respected, capable, and visibly accomplished — and who are quietly overwhelmed, whether at work, at home, or both. They may be excelling professionally while struggling personally, or finding that the patterns that built their success are no longer sustainable in either domain. They aren't falling apart. They're tired of mistaking endurance for wellbeing.

If you're a deep thinker, a creative, or someone who feels things intensely and senses more than you can always explain, you're exactly who I work with. Together, with warmth, humor, and deep empathy, we'll explore the roots of what you're experiencing and reconnect you with your inner wisdom, authenticity, and joy.

My therapy style uses a mix of clinical approaches, including EMDR, IFS, ACT, attachment theory, polyvagal work, somatic techniques, mindfulness, existential ideas, and the occasional nature-based metaphor.
I think of my role as your therapist like the wind that bends the willows at high elevation —
helping them grow stronger and more flexible over time. I’m here to support you in building the life you want, always taking care to move at the speed of trust. Through my work in various settings, what I’ve learned is that healing happens through genuine
connection — between you and me, between you and yourself, and in your community. I focus on collaboration and creating space for honest, sometimes challenging conversations, always with the respect and care you deserve. (I am not the kind of therapist who just listens and nods.)

I'm trained in EMDR, IFS and other modalities, and bring my clients into the process of determining what their therapy experience will look like.
If you're lacking clarity, purpose or a vision for the future, together we can explore what it looks like to find fulfillment. Your personal values and individual strengths point the way to a more serene and settled way of being. My approach involves understanding the thoughts, feelings, relationships and patterns that led you to today and determining what you want your future to hold.

I use Attachment-Focused EMDR, IFS/parts work, solution focused and cognitive behavioral therapies, all from a narrative lens.
Maybe you feel "stuck" in life, work or relationships. Or perhaps you feel numb or overwhelmed? My clients often come to me looking to better understand themselves and how they wish to ‘show up’ in the world. Often this looks like walking alongside my clients as they untangle their authentic parts of self from internalized shame and societal pressures in order to step into their own self-authored story. I specialize in identity formation, LGTBQIA+ concerns, career counseling, anxiety and depression management. I work with individuals to explore who they are, where they want to go and how they will get there.

What is Internal Family Systems therapy?
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a type of talk therapy that focuses on sub-personalities, or “families,” within a person, which may be made up of wounded parts and unpleasant emotions like anger and shame. These sub-personalities can come into conflict with each other and with an individual’s core Self, leaving the person feeling detached from positive traits such as the “8 C’s” of confidence, calmness, creativity, clarity, curiosity, courage, compassion, and connectedness. By healing a patient’s wounded parts, a therapist aims to restore balance and bring on positive change.
How does Internal Family Systems therapy work?
An IFS therapist will work with a patient to identify their particular sub-personalities, recognize the emotions powering them, and release them. By doing so, the patient should become more able to address any underlying problems their sub-personalities may have been trying to protect them from. Ultimately, a patient discovers ways to manage internal and external conflicts on their own, through techniques such as relaxation exercises, journaling, and making charts depicting the relationships between their core Self and their distinct parts.
Does Internal Family Systems therapy work?
IFS therapy has been shown to help people address conditions such as depression, anxiety, panic, fears and phobias, trauma, and substance use disorders. Some research has also found that it can help individuals deal with symptoms of physical health conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, such as pain, everyday functioning, depressive feelings, and low self-compassion. There are some conditions for which IFS treatment, specifically discussions of one’s “parts,” may be less appropriate, such as schizophrenia or other states that involve psychosis or paranoia.
How long does Internal Family Systems therapy take?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for IFS therapy. After becoming comfortable with a therapist and the core concepts of IFS, some patients quickly make progress. While experiences vary, most will find that it is a relatively longer-term therapy, involving months and sometimes years of sessions.
