Are you tired of living in survival mode and ready to start living with more connection, clarity, and joy? I am ready to help you get there! I am passionate about deep emotional work, exploring how our past shapes us and how to move forward with that insight. I have a special interest in dissociative disorders, complex trauma, ADHD, and relationship dynamics, but all experiences and neurodivergent identities are welcome. I offer a compassionate and grounded space where healing and growth can unfold at your own pace.
I use an integrative, personalized approach primarily based in Emotion Focused and Ego-state (parts work) therapies. I have advanced training in couples work (EFT Externship & Gottman Level 1), complex trauma and dissociative disorders (Ego-state I, ISSTD trainings), and am EMDR trained through an EMDRIA approved provider.
You're not alone in what you're feeling, and reaching out is a strong first step. I’m here to support you with compassion and curiosity, and together we can explore what you need to heal and grow. If you're ready to take that next step, I’d be honored to walk with you. Let’s see if we’re a good fit; if not, I’ll help you find someone who is.

I work with adults navigating complex trauma, dissociative disorders, anxiety, and/or relationship concerns. I believe the therapeutic relationship is the foundation of meaningful change. My style is direct, engaged, and thoughtfully challenging. I often use humor when appropriate to help clients recognize patterns without judgment.

I use a relational approach and tailor therapy to each person, drawing from Emotionally Focused Therapy to uncover core emotions and patterns, Ego-State Therapy for trauma-informed parts work, EMDR for helping painful memories feel less overwhelming and less likely to keep affecting your daily life.
