I'm a trauma and anxiety therapist who helps women, teens and adults heal from childhood and emotional neglect, relational trauma, and the lasting effects of difficult relationships. If you're constantly overthinking, overgiving, people-pleasing, striving for perfection, or battling a harsh inner voice, you're not alone. You may look like you have it all together on the outside, yet inside feel anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or never quite "good enough." These patterns developed for a reason and they can change. want to help you feel seen and heard while breaking free from patterns that aren't serving you.
I combine practical tools with deeper healing. We'll learn skills to manage anxiety and overwhelming emotions while exploring the protective parts of you that developed to keep you safe. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS) and DBT, we'll build self-compassion, healthier boundaries, emotional regulation, and lasting change.
Therapy is a warm, supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can learn to more about yourself, build tools, quiet the mind, trust yourself more, build healthier relationships, and finally feel calmer, more confident, and more like yourself.

I use DBT to help clients manage emotions, build distress tolerance, and improve relationships. IFS allows for deep healing by exploring and integrating wounded "parts" of the self. Together, these approaches foster emotional balance, self-compassion, and resilience, empowering you to navigate trauma and anxiety with greater confidence and inner peace.
