I work with adults who grew up in complicated or emotionally difficult families. Many are thoughtful and highly attuned to others and had narcissistic or emotionally immature parents. They want to understand how those early experiences continue to shape their relationships, self-confidence, and sense of identity. Others come to therapy after painful life experiences or trauma, looking for a safe, supportive place to heal. Together, we explore old beliefs and emotional patterns that may be keeping you stuck so you can move toward a more grounded, authentic life.
Studies consistently show that the most important factor in successful therapy is the relationship between client and therapist. I try to bring humility, honesty, and careful attention to the subtle emotional patterns that shape people’s lives, while creating a space where curiosity and reflection can lead to new understanding.
I welcome feedback, and all of your thoughts and feelings are welcome. I use EMDR, mindfulness, and Internal Family Systems–informed therapy primarily with individuals, but also with couples, and families. If these approaches are unfamiliar, that’s okay. What matters most is that you feel safe and supported.
