I use IFS, narrative therapy, buddhist psychology and bodywork to help you reconnect with your whole-ness, so that you can find out who you really are and what your purpose in life is.
The word psychotherapist is greek and means "Healer of the Soul". When you come into my office, I will not label you with anxiety, depression, addiction or any other disorder. You will hear me ask questions like: How is your addiction protecting you from pain? What do you not feel when depression numbs you? Once you witness and heal the wounds of your soul (you can also call it trauma), the symptoms (the 'disorder') can disappear. If you are interested in having a deeper understanding and awareness of your emotions, I will help you to develop a relationship with yourself that is characterized by curiosity, respect and compassion.

Hi there! I’m an eating disorder therapist for sensitive & neurodivergent teens and adults. I specialize in helping clients navigate eating disorders, disordered eating, body image distress, and chronic overwhelm. Many of my clients have been told they’re “too sensitive” or feel like their nervous system is always running on high alert. I work with people who want to better understand their eating disorder rather than fight it—those feeling stuck in cycles of restriction, binging, rigidity, or shame.

My approach is relational and trauma-informed, incorporating Internal Family Systems, somatic experiencing, EMDR, and trauma narrative therapy.
Welcome to a unique therapeutic journey. I offer a therapy space rooted in deep presence, honesty, and slowing down. Many of the folks I work with have found safety in thinking their way through emotions, pulling away when life feels too intense, or searching for answers outside of themselves. In our sessions, we move at the pace your nervous system can tolerate by bringing awareness to what you feel in your body, what emotions surface, and what shows up in the therapeutic relationship in real time. Rather than rushing towards solutions or insight, we create safety to remain when the urge to run and disconnect appears.

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.
