My ideal client is someone who is seeking a safe space to land where they can feel comforted, affirmed, and valued. I know your journey has been unique and nuanced, and I would love to become your trusted ally in healing as you learn how to construct a life you can truly enjoy. I look forward to helping you discover your personal values and beliefs so you are able to make more authentic and meaningful choices as you move forward with purpose and confidence. Together, we can work to cultivate a space within you where you can feel truly loved exactly as you are. Your vulnerability will never be taken for granted in the therapy room!

My therapeutic approach is grounded in compassionate curiosity and unconditional acceptance. There is no judgment here, ever! Whether you are carrying burdens from past trauma or a vulnerable part of you is seeking protection, I can help you understand and appreciate each part for its intentions, even when their strategies might be causing difficulty.

I believe that each part of us has a positive intention, and every person has the capacity for growth and change. My role is to support you in this self-led healing process, helping to reduce your symptoms, increase your capacity for self-compassion, and find healthier and more productive ways to cope as you lean into a life full of joy and fulfillment.

I work with clients who may be struggling with self-acceptance and self-compassion as it relates to past traumatic experiences and unexpected life transitions. Life doesn't always go as planned, but that doesn't mean we have to endure it "as-is". We will work together to sift through thoughts and behaviors that might not serve you to find the core of who you are and find out where you want to go.

Person-Centered

Strength-Based
Trauma Focused

I enjoy using Internal Family Systems theory in my therapy practice. IFS is based on the understanding that our minds are composed of distinct, personality-like parts, and that underneath them, we each have a core Self that is confident, compassionate, and calm. I will create a space where you can feel supported in exploring these inner dynamics without judgment and learn to access your true Self.
