I love working with individuals who have tried to change so many times they’ve almost lost hope. As a trauma therapist specializing in Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples, I help clients heal the root causes of anxiety, panic attacks, depression, PTSD/trauma, burnout, addiction, and relationship issues. I’m specially trained in removing Unattached Burdens or UB's. I offer online therapy, pre-marital counseling, marriage counseling, and deep childhood wound healing so you no longer crave old habits.
In therapy, I show up as a real person—no pretense, no judgment. We all have blind spots and room to grow; I meet you exactly where you are. First, I build a safe, genuine connection so you feel truly seen. No one should face anxiety, trauma, depression, or relationship struggles alone.
Then I guide you with three truths: Pain is necessary for growth, progress beats perfection, and grace means you’re likely right on track. Through trauma therapy, IFS therapy, EFT couples counseling, anxiety & PTSD treatment, and marriage/pre-marital counseling, I blend compassion and evidence-based tools for lasting healing and self-acceptance.
