Many people notice their nervous system cycling between anxiety and shutdown—racing thoughts, chronic tension, exhaustion, or emotional numbness. Patterns like reactivity, withdrawal, people-pleasing, burnout, or recurring conflict can feel out of alignment with who they want to be, but they don't know how to escape it. The deeper need is often to understand the internal parts, physiological responses, and unmet needs driving these experiences in your system. My integrative approach to therapy helps you build clear mindful awareness, increase access to inner calm and compassion, and lead your life from a confident centered Self.
I support adults facing anxiety, depression, relationship stress, trauma, and addiction recovery using trauma-informed Internal Family Systems, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and body-based approaches. If desired, we can also include spiritual or alternative practices, like breathwork and energy work to cultivate resilience, balance, and growth.
Healing with the support of a therapist doesn’t mean weakness—it means you've found the strength to ask for help so you can live with more clarity, peace, and connection. The first step is to call or email for a brief consultation about what you've been going through and to see if I'm a good fit for your needs. It's free, confidential, and no obligation.

IFS is a central therapeutic lens through which I approach care, so talking about "parts" and noticing what's emerging in the body as we talk is commonplace in my sessions. Based on your needs, preferences, and goals I will offer an blend of interventions and modalities that are fitting, and we can make adjustments as we go.
