I specialize in working with perfectionism, relational struggles, identity exploration, and the lasting effects of complex and intergenerational trauma. The world can feel like too much – overwhelming, isolating, unmanageable. Perhaps you feel unseen in your relationships, burdened by preoccupations over how others perceive you, or exhausted from holding everything together. I help individuals and couples who feel stuck, disconnected, or like they are not enough develop a deeper understanding of themselves, to help them break patterns that do not serve them and move through life with greater clarity, self-trust, and meaning.
I draw from psychodynamic, existential, and somatic modalities while incorporating parts work (IFS-informed) to help clients recognize and heal the inner dynamics that shape their experiences. Through a trauma-informed lens, I support individuals in emotional regulation, shifting self-doubt, and cultivating insight, empowerment, & growth for lasting change.
In the space we create together, clients find the clarity to reconnect with themselves, the courage to expand into new possibilities, and the freedom to realign with what truly matters to them at their core.
