Perhaps you are standing on a threshold, a doorway between the life you have known and the life ahead of you. You may be feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, depressed or anxious; you may be aware of a well of grief beneath the surface. I am here to sit with you in that scary, and sometimes exciting space, to help you be attentive to your deepest needs, fears, and longings. I will help you welcome and witness all of your parts, and uncover the deep well of wisdom and compassion that lies within you.
I specialize in Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. I work with individuals and couples who are seeking depth-oriented, compassionate parts work that integrates somatic awareness and attention to attachment and relational healing.
I offer grounded presence and guidance in exploring spirituality and healing intergenerational trauma, legacy and cultural burdens. Together, we will create a brave space to metabolize grief, break old patterns, and access more self-compassion, clarity and freedom.

I bring warmth and genuine curiosity to every session, helping people feel truly heard from the very first conversation. In an IFS session, I will guide you to get curious about different parts of yourself -the anxious part, the one that shuts down, the one that keeps pushing through - rather than treating any part as the enemy. Patterns can shift quickly when we get to the roots of them.

I specialize in using Internal Family Systems theory, a gentle healing modality that can help extreme thoughts, feelings, behaviors dial back so you can live from a more centered, free, courageous and authentic place. We work together to understand and appreciate all parts of you, to free parts stuck in extreme roles, and to heal buried or exiled parts of you that carry painful experiences.
