Are you ready to make peace with your past? Perhaps you've recognized patterns in relationships, behaviors, or thoughts that are repeating. Maybe it feels like there's so much noise inside you can't seem to make sense of life outside. Are you feeling lonely or disconnected from your self? Balance is possible. Peace is possible. The kaleidoscope of your life can come back into view as we walk together and navigate your internal system with a sense of curiosity and compassion, bringing positive and lasting change. I operate from an integrative approach using a combination of practices.
My specializations are trauma, anxiety, depression, life changes, and self-esteem. I offer guidance using parts work, compassionate inquiry, somatic awareness, EMDR, expressive arts and other evidence based practices to help you bravely maneuver your human experience.
I have a multidimensional background of educational experience as well a clinical and holistic training, and will meet you on your path with non judgement. I believe you deserve and are capable of healing and creating an abundant, wholehearted life. Feel free to reach out for a free 15 minute consultation.

In working with me, the therapeutic process is a trauma informed inward journey to become more self aware and heal with deep authentic connection.

My primary approaches are Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR, but I believe therapy should be tailored to each individual. Together, we can explore what methods best support your unique needs and goals. I regularly check in with clients about how the process feels for them, and I make adjustments along the way to ensure therapy remains effective and supportive.
