Are you struggling to feel at home in your body and mind due to your past experiences? What about feeling out of control of your emotional responses to the little things? Are your relationships with your partner, parents, children, or friends being negatively impacted these things you wish you could change but don't know how? Do you believe you're a burden to everyone around you even though people consistently tell you that you're not? Just feeling kind of alone? Let's work together to get to the bottom of those feelings, process the hard emotions, and learn how to feel confident and authentic in your identity. You can do this.
To me, therapy is about finding the freedom to live a life as truly & authentically YOU as possible. My intention is to be a partner & an advocate in repairing the wounds or ruptures in yourself and in your relationships. I offer individual therapy, but also like to include family and couple's therapy. Healing is a collective effort, and you are worth it.
Sometimes, this work takes us places we've avoided for a long time, but we have to go there to find genuine healing. I'm here to make sure that while you're working through the discomfort, you're not alone. You have someone in your corner - not trying to fix you, but to simply be as curious about you as you are. Let's figure that out together, shall we?

The areas I engage with well are developing sense of Self, relationship repair or strengthening, and trauma healing. We will approach therapy from a systemic lens, understanding how the environments we are in impact our thought patterns, behaviors, and autonomic responses.

While I work in multiple modalities, I do tend to focus most on evidence-based experiential modalities such as Internal Family Systems Theory (IFS) or Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I am currently working towards certification in the specialties of Internal Family Systems, Somatic IFS, and EMDR.
