You’re thoughtful and capable, often the one others rely on, yet anxiety, self-doubt, or old emotional wounds can quietly take over. Maybe you’re a parent breaking generational patterns or someone who appears “fine” while carrying pain that never fully healed. I support adults — especially parents — in healing early wounds, reducing anxiety, reconnecting with self-worth, and building more secure, compassionate relationships. My warm, trauma-informed, attachment-focused approach helps you feel safe to show up as your full, authentic self.
My approach is holistic, trauma-informed, and integrative. I draw from a range of evidence-based modalities, including Psychodynamic and Relational Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and EMDR. This flexibility allows me to tailor our work to your needs, experiences, and goals.
Through both my clinical work and life experiences, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals across diverse racial, cultural, gender, and sexual identities. My practice is a welcoming space for people of all backgrounds, faiths, ages, and abilities. Being human is complex, and none of us are meant to navigate it alone. I’m here to support you.
