I help couples and individuals who feel stuck in the same frustrating patterns—whether that’s constant overthinking, emotional disconnection, communication breakdowns, or arguments that never seem to get resolved. You care deeply about one another, yet it is exhausting repeating the same cycle without real change. I help clients better understand what’s driving these patterns and provide practical tools to improve communication, strengthen connection, and create healthier relationships.

I offer trauma-informed, relational therapy grounded in ACT, IFS, somatic work, psychodynamic insight, and EFT.
My ideal client feels disconnected from themselves — exhausted, uncertain, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. They may struggle with anxiety, ADHD-related challenges, self-esteem, attachment wounds, identity questions, or relationship stress. Many are LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, or exploring nontraditional relationships. They want clarity, self-trust, secure connections, and a life aligned with their values. They’re seeking both honest reflection and compassionate support to feel more grounded and authentic.

Life can be challenging, and navigating life after surviving trauma or during a major transition can be especially difficult. As women, we tend to internalize our struggles for the sake of caring for others, often putting our needs on the back burner. As a result, we leave ourselves vulnerable to these issues negatively impacting our lives in many ways, such as our physical health, emotional balance and our relationships with co-workers, intimate partners and even ourselves. My therapeutic approach is focused on empowering women to overcome these personal struggles and improve the quality of their lives, relationships and careers.

I am an avid learner and practitioner of IFS aligned with CBT techniques.
I wonder if you sometimes feel lonely but are surrounded by people, if you sometimes cry but are unsure why, if there is this sense of emptiness within despite managing well, and even thriving, in your daily life. These feelings can be so frustrating and hard to understand. Sometimes we don't know whats wrong and I am hear to accompany you on the journey of self discovery and self love. Let's work together to address your attachment style and ability to emotionally regulate. Understand the now and what can be done rather then the how come/why of the hard feelings. I am here to guide that journey of deep healing and connection.

I offer a variety of compassion-focused and Trauma-informed techniques tailored to fit your needs, including Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, and psychoeducation.
A beautiful thing about our bodies is that our bodies can talk to us. Our bodies can provide us with data that can be beneficial to our mental and physical state of being. Stretching out, slowing down, and noticing that data can be key to understanding what we need to help ourselves. Topic discussions I specialize in are: trauma recovery, perimenopause, life transitions, anxiety, stress, depression, and chronic pain.

The interventions I use draw from parts work ( IFS), Emotion-Focused Couple and Family Therapy, EMDR, Play Therapy, and CBT.
Finding a therapist can be a daunting challenge, and it's courageous to even begin the process. Many of my clients have seen one or more therapists in the past, and struggled to feel understood and get the help they actually need. If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place. I am trained and practiced in addressing the root causes of suffering in individuals and relational systems, which allows me to provide the highest quality of care to children, teens, adults, couples, and families; even those who have previously struggled to find therapy helpful.

An increasing number of my clients are familiar with or interested in IFS , a therapy model which recognizes the parts within ourselves and a healthy core Self which is a source of healing and transformation.
I have integrated my years of training and experience in mind/ body approaches into a wholistic therapy approach for healing trauma , loss, relationship struggles, life transitions and many other problems. IFS therapy is the model that underpins much of the therapy work I do. It is a non pathologizing, deeply healing, compassionate therapy.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists
What is Internal Family Systems therapy?
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a type of talk therapy that focuses on sub-personalities, or “families,” within a person, which may be made up of wounded parts and unpleasant emotions like anger and shame. These sub-personalities can come into conflict with each other and with an individual’s core Self, leaving the person feeling detached from positive traits such as the “8 C’s” of confidence, calmness, creativity, clarity, curiosity, courage, compassion, and connectedness. By healing a patient’s wounded parts, a therapist aims to restore balance and bring on positive change.

How does Internal Family Systems therapy work?
An IFS therapist will work with a patient to identify their particular sub-personalities, recognize the emotions powering them, and release them. By doing so, the patient should become more able to address any underlying problems their sub-personalities may have been trying to protect them from. Ultimately, a patient discovers ways to manage internal and external conflicts on their own, through techniques such as relaxation exercises, journaling, and making charts depicting the relationships between their core Self and their distinct parts.

Does Internal Family Systems therapy work?
IFS therapy has been shown to help people address conditions such as depression, anxiety, panic, fears and phobias, trauma, and substance use disorders. Some research has also found that it can help individuals deal with symptoms of physical health conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, such as pain, everyday functioning, depressive feelings, and low self-compassion. There are some conditions for which IFS treatment, specifically discussions of one’s “parts,” may be less appropriate, such as schizophrenia or other states that involve psychosis or paranoia.

How long does Internal Family Systems therapy take?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for IFS therapy. After becoming comfortable with a therapist and the core concepts of IFS, some patients quickly make progress. While experiences vary, most will find that it is a relatively longer-term therapy, involving months and sometimes years of sessions.
