You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally shut down, or stuck in patterns that keep repeating in your relationships or daily life. Perhaps you’re navigating trauma, a difficult life transition, or carrying the impact of early experiences that continue to shape how you feel, cope, and connect with others. Often, these patterns are survival responses that developed in earlier environments where you had to adapt to cope. Therapy offers a space to understand these responses with compassion, make sense of where they come from, and begin creating more intentional ways of relating to yourself and others.

I believe that our minds and bodies hold the imprint of our experiences—both the painful and the positive. Difficult experiences can shape how we feel, relate to others, and move through the world, sometimes leaving us feeling disconnected from ourselves or stuck in patterns that no longer serve us. At the same time, I believe deeply in our capacity for resilience, growth, and self-healing.

Has traditional talk therapy not quite worked for you? I'd love to help you try something different! While talking things out can hold a lot of value, I don't believe it should be the only tool in the toolbox. I help my clients get to the root of their inner experiences and feel more connected to themselves, their life, and others by using a somatic & IFS focused approach. I specialize in helping people compassionately navigate their inner world- working through things like anxiety, trauma, people pleasing, perfectionism, feeling confused by your feelings, relational concerns, childhood experiences, & critical inner dialogue.

Are you the person everyone leans on, but inside you feel anxious, overwhelmed, shut down, or stuck in the same painful patterns? You may understand why you feel this way and still have no idea how to change it, because self-awareness alone does not automatically fix everything. You might overthink relationships, fear disappointing people, struggle to trust yourself, or feel like your body is always bracing for something. The ways you learned to survive make sense, and you do not have to untangle them alone. I work with individuals navigating trauma, high-conflict relationships/family patterns, as well as life transitions.

Much of my work focuses on helping patients understand what’s keeping them there and how to move forward with greater clarity. I’ve worked in community-based outpatient mental health settings and group private practice, providing individual and couples therapy. What I enjoyed most was building real, ongoing connections and supporting people through major transitions, relationship challenges, and identity shifts. These experiences shaped my ability to balance deeper emotional work with practical tools, while staying flexible and responsive to where someone is in the moment.
