Do you feel like the ways you’ve learned to survive are holding you back from thriving? Maybe you’ve relied on yourself for too long or never had the chance to connect deeply with your emotions or body. Together, we can explore the protective parts of you that have worked to keep you safe, even if they feel stuck in old roles. By building compassion for these parts and leading from your authentic Self, you can find greater freedom and fulfillment. Your pain is valid, and you don’t have to face it alone—I’m here to support you.
I work from Internal Family Systems, EMDR, and Emotionally Focused Therapy. I’m passionate about supporting LGBTQ+ individuals, couples, and body liberation. By making peace with our bodies, healing childhood trauma, and understanding our protective parts, we can cultivate self-compassion and build more fulfilling connections.
Whatever you’re struggling with, having a neutral person outside of your life can be life-changing. Therapy offers a space to make sense of your experiences, understand why things feel daunting, and identify what you truly want and need—all without an agenda. I would be honored to be that person for you.
