Sometimes we feel stuck in patterns we don’t fully understand—like a harsh inner critic, anxiety that won’t quiet down, or emotional reactions that seem bigger than the moment. I use an Internal Family Systems–informed approach to help clients explore the different “parts” of themselves that drive these experiences. Rather than trying to get rid of these parts, we work to understand them with curiosity and compassion. As these inner dynamics become clearer, people find relief from self-criticism and greater emotional balance. My goal is to create a safe, collaborative space where meaningful change can unfold.
I work with adults and young adults. I am trained in Internal Family Systems and employ a person-centered, individualized, strengths-based approach to help each client achieve their identified goals.
