Therapy is a space to turn inward with curiosity and compassion. We each carry different parts—some protective, some wounded—all trying to help in their own way. In our work, we’ll explore these parts to understand their roles and build a more balanced relationship within. This helps shift patterns like self-criticism or compulsive behavior. As you develop a deeper connection with yourself, you’ll naturally foster more authentic connections with others.
In addition to my training in Internal Family Systems (Level 1), I also specialize in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, CBT, Family Systems, and Psychoanalysis.
I will work to support you in developing a grounded sense of self—one that can compassionately lead you toward healing and growth.
The first step is to schedule a brief (15 minute) consultation to get a sense of how I work and if we are a good fit.
