We construct our emotional world based on our past experience. What we attend to in the present, and what we expect in the future, is also based on our past experience. Our initial work is to understand your past and how it shapes your perceptions of challenges. As we learn how these perceptions came into existence, we then work toward making different choices in our interactions with others. In this manner we attain understanding and acceptance of our "self" and others.

I integrate Internal Family Systems ( IFS/parts work), somatic therapy, EFT, attachment theory, and trauma-focused therapy to get to the root, not just the symptoms.
I work with individual adults navigating anxiety, complex trauma (CPTSD), childhood emotional neglect, codependency, and the long shadow of generational and family trauma. Many of my clients are highly sensitive or neurodivergent, recovering people-pleasers worn down by perfectionism, boundary struggles, and low self-worth. You’re tired of holding it all together. Together we trace the patterns that shaped you, build boundaries that hold, calm a body stuck in survival mode, and reconnect you to an identity that isn’t built around everyone else’s needs. Individuals only at this time.

My approach is psychodynamic, relational, and trauma-informed, woven with IFS, somatic awareness, and CBT and DBT skills as they fit you.
Maybe you've noticed it: the same painful moment, on repeat. The anxiety that won't let up. The relationship that keeps unraveling the same way. The habit you swear you'll quit and somehow don't. None of it means something is wrong with you. So much of what we struggle with now is what once helped us survive, which is why willpower alone rarely fixes it. I work with adults moving through trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and addiction. I'm warm, honest, and genuinely curious about your story. Together, we'll get underneath what's been hurting, gently and without judgment, so things can finally begin to shift.

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.
