My ideal client is an adult who looks capable on the outside but feels anxious, braced, or full of self-doubt internally. They often feel stuck in familiar loops—overthinking, people-pleasing, guilt, a harsh inner critic, or relationship patterns that leave them feeling unseen. Many grew up emotionally unsupported, unseen, or overly responsible for other people’s feelings, and now want to understand why they react the way they do and how to feel steadier from the inside out. They’re looking for more self-trust, clearer boundaries, and a more grounded way of relating to themselves and others.
Trauma-informed, parts-focused therapy (trained in Internal Family Systems/IFS). Warm, direct, and paced to feel steady—not overwhelming. We’ll get to know protective parts (overthinker, caretaker, inner critic, shutdown) and, when helpful, use gentle body-based tools so safety is felt—not just understood.
If you’re exhausted from trying to outthink your feelings or pushing yourself to “be fine,” you’re not alone. These patterns make sense once we understand what they’ve been protecting. We’ll slow down, stay curious, and adjust the pace anytime it feels like too much. If you’re ready for depth-oriented work, I invite you to reach out.

I'm an affirming, trauma-informed therapist specializing in IFS (parts work) for adults who felt they had to hold a lot. I help soften the inner critic, unlearn people-pleasing, and build boundaries that hold so you can feel clearer, calmer, and more self-compassionate, with a gentle yet practical approach.

I use parts work to get to know the fixer, fawner, or inner critic—and help them relax so your Self can lead. We add simple somatic resets (breathing, grounding, sensory cues) so your body can downshift in real life. With MBCT, you'll notice thoughts without getting hooked and choose responses that fit your values. Together, that means fewer spirals, steadier boundaries, and a kinder inner voice.
