I use EMDR, CBT, MI, TF-CBT, IFS, and person-centered approaches to fit you and your goals.
Life’s challenges can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when past trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, life transitions, and other mental health challenges make it difficult to move forward. If you’re feeling stuck, struggling with emotions that seem too heavy to carry, or searching for clarity and healing, you don’t have to do it alone. I specialize in working with children and adults who have experienced childhood trauma and other mental health challenges. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate, and supportive space where you feel seen, heard, and empowered.

I'll use more traditional therapy types like CBT or IFS for adults.
Are you struggling with ADHD—feeling overwhelmed by daily tasks, relationships, or work demands? Maybe you're a parent seeking help for your child who's falling behind in school, or an adult finally understanding why life has always felt harder for you. Perhaps you're managing ADHD alongside anxiety or depression. You want practical strategies, not just medication management. You're ready to understand your brain differently and build systems that actually work. Beyond ADHD, I help individuals overcome trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and depression—supporting you in moving from surviving to thriving with compassion and understanding.

I use brain and body-based approaches like EMDR, IFS, and Mindfulness - tailoring your treatment based on where you are in your journey and what goals you have.
Is talk therapy just not cutting it? I can help you. My clients often show up feeling emotionally overwhelmed, stuck in old patterns, or unsure of how to move forward. What they really want is to feel more grounded and connected. In our work together, I will provide a space where you can slow down and listen inward so you can heal, move forward, and reconnect with who you really are.

I am working towards EMDR certification and have training in IFS, Play Therapy, Theraplay, and Polyvagal Theory.
My work is rooted in both clinical expertise and intuitive care, supporting highly sensitive individuals in reconnecting with their inner wisdom and emotional balance. Most often, clients come to me when they're processing through trauma, trying to address anxiety and/or panic symptoms, or needing support in navigating a challenging relationship, and want to live a more vibrant and aligned life. Most people I work with are usually at a point where they recognize that something feels stuck, and they want to make a change but need support building momentum and taking the next step.

Most of your feelings, your intrusive thoughts, and your reactive behaviors are not within your control. You - like many others - can spend so much time and energy fighting the present patterns of your body and mind. You do this because maybe you feel shame for how these symptoms present themselves, you are afraid of how these symptoms may impact your life, or both of these reasons plus more. This attempt to control the uncontrollable is an endless and exhausting fight. As you redirect your energy to becoming aware how your brain and body are presently reacting and accepting these patterns as they present themselves to you today,

I work relationally to create safety while addressing trauma and its impact on beliefs and the nervous system, using EMDR, IFS/Parts, Somatic, CBT, and Motivational Interviewing.
Are you ready to make changes in your life but unsure how to begin? You may feel stuck, disconnected from purpose, or lacking fulfillment or passion. Experiences such as abandonment, abuse or neglect can leave lasting effects, just as life transitions like divorce, grief, or an empty nest can create uncertainty about what comes next. Whatever your situation, meaningful change is possible. Together we will identify limiting core beliefs shaped by trauma or critical past experiences and replace them with more compassionate, adaptive beliefs that support healing, growth, and a more satisfying life.

When we have been through difficult things, oftentimes we feel misunderstood, unheard, unsafe and hopeless. I do not believe that trauma makes us stronger; rather, I believe that there is something beautiful within us that brings us through the trauma. Trauma processing allows us to let go of negative beliefs about ourselves and the world; beliefs such as “I am not safe,” or “I am unlovable.” These beliefs can make us feel stuck; like having a rich and full life is not possible. As your therapist, I will work to empower you to accept all parts of self, allowing for peace from within that will trickle into all facets of life.

I draw from Internal Family Systems ( IFS) or "parts" work, Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), and family systems models.
It is not uncommon to find ourselves at some point in our lives feeling “stuck” often leaving us scared, paralyzed, sad, confused, angry, and/or fed up. If this is where you’re at, you’ve come to the right place. I’ve been there and I’ve helped many couples and individuals navigate this place. It is my belief clients are the experts in their own lives and I aid in the uncovering process of their inherent goodness and strengths. Through an open and affirming, culturally sensitive, and trauma informed environment, I help clients feel “un-stuck” to then go and live the lives they want to live.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists
What is Internal Family Systems therapy?
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a type of talk therapy that focuses on sub-personalities, or “families,” within a person, which may be made up of wounded parts and unpleasant emotions like anger and shame. These sub-personalities can come into conflict with each other and with an individual’s core Self, leaving the person feeling detached from positive traits such as the “8 C’s” of confidence, calmness, creativity, clarity, curiosity, courage, compassion, and connectedness. By healing a patient’s wounded parts, a therapist aims to restore balance and bring on positive change.

How does Internal Family Systems therapy work?
An IFS therapist will work with a patient to identify their particular sub-personalities, recognize the emotions powering them, and release them. By doing so, the patient should become more able to address any underlying problems their sub-personalities may have been trying to protect them from. Ultimately, a patient discovers ways to manage internal and external conflicts on their own, through techniques such as relaxation exercises, journaling, and making charts depicting the relationships between their core Self and their distinct parts.

Does Internal Family Systems therapy work?
IFS therapy has been shown to help people address conditions such as depression, anxiety, panic, fears and phobias, trauma, and substance use disorders. Some research has also found that it can help individuals deal with symptoms of physical health conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, such as pain, everyday functioning, depressive feelings, and low self-compassion. There are some conditions for which IFS treatment, specifically discussions of one’s “parts,” may be less appropriate, such as schizophrenia or other states that involve psychosis or paranoia.

How long does Internal Family Systems therapy take?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for IFS therapy. After becoming comfortable with a therapist and the core concepts of IFS, some patients quickly make progress. While experiences vary, most will find that it is a relatively longer-term therapy, involving months and sometimes years of sessions.
