My work tends to resonate with creative, expressive, and introspective adults who are navigating a transition, feeling stuck, or questioning who they are and what comes next - artists, writers, entrepreneurs, and people newly able to focus on themselves, like empty nesters, those approaching retirement, or women rediscovering time for themselves after staying home with their kids. If that sounds like you, we have the potential to be a good match. My clients tend to be dissatisfied with aspects of their life or themselves and ready to actively engage in therapy - willing to look honestly at what isn't working and open to real change.
I specialize in IFS and EMDR, often woven together with creative, experiential approaches. Together we'll gently explore the patterns, protective parts, and experiences keeping you stuck. Therapy with me is collaborative, curious, and active - a good fit if you enjoy reflection, creativity, and exploring your inner world.
I approach life with a "yes, and" mindset - everything that comes our way, even unwanted thoughts, emotions, or hard encounters, holds real wisdom. Together we'll get curious about your inner world and how it shapes your relationships and choices. I see myself as a companion on your path toward inner wisdom and self-acceptance.

I draw on IFS, EMDR, and expressive interventions to explore what may be blocking your creativity and growth, deepen self-understanding, and navigate periods of change - work that goes beyond insight alone. My own background as an artist adds a lived understanding of creativity, identity, and change to my clinical experience.

My primary approaches are Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR. Therapy with me is collaborative, experiential, and often creative. We may use imagery, metaphor, writing, art, or other forms of expression when they fit you. You don't need to be an artist, you're simply invited to be curious and open to exploring your experience in ways that go beyond traditional talk therapy, if you choose to.
