As a therapist, my goal is to help individuals and couples manage anxiety, depression, and life’s challenges. I empower clients to develop tools that promote emotional well-being and self-compassion. My approach integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, which helps clients explore the root causes of their struggles, heal inner conflict, and build healthier relationships. IFS fosters self-awareness, emotional resilience, and personal growth.
For couples, I offer support to improve communication and strengthen relationships, reducing anxiety and disconnection. Additionally, I collaborate with Koru Wellness to provide ketamine-assisted therapy for deeper emotional challenges.
I aim to help you create a meaningful connection with yourself and others. I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where you’re heard and understood. Currently, I see clients in-person and virtually. Reach out to Sage Family Counseling for availability. If you're ready to explore your inner world and work toward emotional health, I’m here to support your journey
