Being human isn't easy. It can be awkward, terrifying, beautiful, exciting, and bewildering. But most of all, it requires us to GROW. And growth, by its very nature, can feel wildly uncomfortable. Not to mention the life transitions that coincide with growth, such as starting or ending a relationship, navigating pregnancy and parenthood, exploring your sexuality, grieving the loss of a loved one, changing careers, quitting toxic habits or addictions, separating or divorcing from a partner, or starting over in a new city, to name a few. These transitions are hard enough. But you don't have to go through them alone. 
Drawing from evidence-based and humanistic approaches such as IFS, EFT, and Rogerian approaches, I compassionately challenge my clients to make shifts towards a more conguent self and life. I love working with people pleasers, children of addicts, overfunctioners, codependents, neurodivergents, new parents, intellectualizers, and perfectionists.
Therapy is a relationship - a safe place where you can speak the unspoken. Where you can practice communication, emotional expression, and other tools that you can use in your everyday life. So finding the right fit for YOUR therapist is essential! Let's book a (free) 20 min. call to assess if we're a good match, or if I can help you find someone who is.

As a relational therapist, I integrate my humanness into our work using humor, metaphors, and real-life examples. With IFS and systems work, we'll look at your roles in your family and relationships - including your internal relationships (how you treat yourself) - to help you shift out of roles that no longer serve you, heal your relationship with yourself, and make positive shifts towards peace.
