Life's too short to let anyone or anything steal your sparkle. I'm here to help you find your voice, rebuild trust in yourself, and learn to laugh again (even if it's at the absurdity of it all). I work best with clients who are ready to go deeper and want to understand the unconscious beliefs quietly shaping their lives. My approach is warm, insight-based, and relational. Together we slow down, get curious, and develop a compassionate relationship with every part of you, even the parts that make you cringe.
I specialize in trauma, PTSD, and betrayal trauma, working with people carrying pain they never asked for. Whether you're processing a traumatic past or rebuilding after devastating betrayal, I use IFS and EMDR to help you release what you've been carrying, understand the beliefs underneath, and rebuild trust in yourself.
Reach out for a free no pressure 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

"
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a therapy approach that views our minds as having different 'parts' that can have different thoughts, feelings, and motivations. These parts often develop to protect us or cope with challenges. In therapy, we explore these parts with curiosity and compassion, understanding their roles and how they interact.
