You may be self-aware and have past experience in therapy, yet still experience cycles, patterns, or mood states you want to shift—emotional overwhelm, shutdown, depression, anxiety, triggers, or painful relationship cycles. You want more than coping skills and "talk therapy"—you want to go deeper, connect to your nervous system, and understand and rewire old patterns to feel more grounded in yourself. I help clients make sense of their internal dynamics, nervous system states, and patterns of relating in order to access a more grounded, connected, and self-led life.
I help adults working through trauma, childhood attachment wounds, mood dysregulation, grief, and relationship issues. Using EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic mindfulness, we explore how your mind and body hold the stress of past experiences so you can shift long-standing patterns and build greater awareness, self-compassion, and regulation.
My style is creative, open-minded, neuro-affirming, and compassionate. We move at the pace of trust so that all parts of you have a place to be witnessed and understood. Together we stay curious about what arises in your mind-body as we work toward increased connection. If this approach resonates with you, reach out to see if we might be a good fit!

I primarily utilize Internal Family System (IFS) and EMDR therapy with a lens of somatic mindfulness. In our first session, we will explore what brings you to therapy and how I can best support you. With IFS and EMDR we explore how formative memories, experiences, nervous system patterns, and beliefs have formed the way your mindbody system responds to your life, and we meet it with compassion.
