Many people feel burdened by internal conflict, deep trauma, heavy grief, or painful intimacy issues. I help clients heal from these wounds and find true internal harmony through a compassionate approach. Using Internal Family Systems, we view you not as "broken", but as a system of parts that often find themselves in conflict. A part of you may want connection while another protects you by pushing people away. Together, we can transform cycles of self-sabotage or criticism into Self-leadership. I also provide Faith-Based Therapy to safely process religious abuse/trauma, church hurt, or scrupulosity. Your whole self is welcome here.
I specialize in treating childhood/complex trauma, attachment injuries, family scapegoating, grief/loss, and emotional/sexual intimacy concerns, including performance anxiety, mismatched libido, and intimacy avoidance. I also work with Highly Sensitive Persons, college students, athletes, young professionals, military personnel, veterans, and their families.
My tailored approach also integrates Emotionally Focused, Cognitive Behavioral, Somatic, and Sensate Focus Therapies. My style is warm and gentle, yet honest and direct. I prioritize a trusting therapeutic relationship focused on personal responsibility while providing tools and support for your healing. I look forward to meeting you and hearing your story.

My primary approach is Internal Family Systems Therapy while drawing from Emotionally Focused Therapy to help you build secure emotional bonds, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thought patterns, and Somatic Therapy to reconnect you with your body. For sexual intimacy concerns, I use Sensate Focus to rebuild physical connection with your partner through mindful, non-demand touch.
