Are you feeling lost, overwhelmed, or anxious in your daily life? Is the emotional pain you’re carrying making it difficult to connect with yourself and others? Have your coping strategies led to more suffering, leaving you stuck in patterns of self-criticism, self-doubt, and fear? If so, seeking help is the first step toward healing. Together, we can explore these challenges and work towards finding clarity, connection, and a renewed sense of self. You don’t need to navigate this alone.
My caring approach to therapy focuses on more than just talking; it’s about healing deeply. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), I compassionately guide you in connecting with your authentic self, healing your trauma, and finding safety in your own body. Together, we work towards lasting changes, so you can feel at peace and empowered in your life.
If you are ready to begin your therapy journey, I would love to support you. Let’s work together to create the lasting changes you’re seeking. Contact me today for a free consult and weʼll get started on your journey together. In process of credentialing with Quest Behavioral Health, United Healthcare, and Carelon Behavioral Health insurances.

Groups
Online Healing Through Connection Group for Men
Many men have been wounded by other men in the past and tend to isolate to protect themselves. Sadly, this often leads to loneliness and lack of meaningful male friendships. Healing Through Connection groups offer a safe, non-judgmental, confidential group setting where men can face their fears of other men and have healing experiences with one another. While men may have been the source of your trauma, in Healing Through Connection groups men become the source of healing. There is power in learning to be authentic and experiencing what it is like to be accepted just as you are.
