When life pressures you to keep holding it together, that quiet ache inside gets loud. No matter if it's from heartbreak, loss, or the aftermath of stubborn relationship patterns, the struggle is exhausting. You might find yourself running on autopilot, feeling stuck in familiar habits, and unsure of how to break the cycle. All you want is to feel balanced and secure. You just want to get back on track. I specialize in helping people navigate emotional challenges stemming from relationship issues, breakups, trauma, and grief.
I am trained in Internal Family Systems, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, and CBT. I am also a David Kessler certified grief educator. I help clients heal emotional wounds that keep them repeating painful patterns and develop skills for coping with hardship. Whether it’s a breakup, death of a loved one, or another difficult change, you deserve support.
Therapy shouldn't feel robotic or one-sided. Prescriptive advice is not what promotes healing. I believe my role is to ask questions that connect you to your own clarity while offering gentle guidance as needed. You are the expert of your own life. My priority is to create a space where you can be your true self. You set the pace, and I will meet you there.

You will gain more than just insight, you'll learn what to do with it. After we map out your challenges and life history we will gradually uncover how your past shapes some of the patterns keeping you stuck. You will build skills that support change and gradually shed old stories that no longer serve you. My specialties are relationship issues, grief, and trauma.

I integrate Internal Family Systems, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, and CBT to help clients heal at the root. I use various experiential exercises guided by attachment theory, and neuroscience to support deep emotional processing. Sessions also blend in practical skill-building and psychoeducation to sustain changes providing clients relief. My approach is flexible but intentional.
