You may feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, overthinking, or self-criticism, or weighed down by depression, trauma, or OCD. Maybe relationships feel hard, or you’re going through a life transition and questioning what you want next. You’re insightful but tired of repeating the same patterns. You want relief, but also deeper understanding of yourself—why you feel the way you do and how to move forward with more clarity, self-compassion, and intention.
I integrate IFS, ACT, and psychodynamic therapy with mindfulness and positive psychology. Together we explore the patterns and inner “parts” shaping your experience, while building practical tools to help you navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, and life transitions with greater awareness and self-compassion.
Reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you’ve been holding a lot on your own. You deserve a space where you feel understood and supported. I offer a warm, collaborative approach where we can explore what’s going on and work toward meaningful change at your pace.
