Whether you are dealing with a traumatic experience, depression, anxiety or difficulty adjusting to changes in your life, it can get in the way of your ability to function in healthy ways.

My hope is to guide my clients to a deeper understanding of their thoughts and emotions.

If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, loss, relationship or family conflict and have been hesitant to try therapy or return to therapy, please feel free to reach out for help navigating these difficulties. We all have times in life when it would be beneficial to talk through and process challenging life events with a trained professional who is non-judgmental, empathic and firmly believes in an individual's internal wisdom towards healing when provided the right resources. Often life has a way of throwing us curveballs. It helps to have another person participate alongside us as we figure out how best to cope.

For kids and teens, therapy focuses on emotion regulation, self-esteem, and resilience while helping parents better understand and support their child's emotional needs.
I believe so much healing comes from a strong therapeutic relationship. I prioritize creating a safe, trusting connection, with safety in experiencing feelings before processing traumas. I use a mix of approaches including IFS, EMDR, emotion-focused, attachment-focused, and somatic therapy. I also integrate creative approaches like sand tray, art, and play.

As a Level 2 Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Psychodynamic therapist, I offer a compassionate space for healing, one where all parts of you are welcome. I specialize in helping clients gently process trauma without retraumatization and in building a deeper, more compassionate relationship with themselves. We will honor how race, class, colonization, immigration and systemic oppression shape our inner world. Many of the struggles we carry around worth, safety, power and identity are not personal failings, but inherited wounds rooted in collective and cultural trauma. Through IFS therapy, we work to release these burdens.
