About Me
It’s great to meet you.
I’m a licensed psychotherapist and consultant specializing in individual and couples therapy. My work focuses on helping people heal from trauma, childhood wounding, attachment injuries, and relational challenges. I believe therapy should be a safe, inclusive, and affirming space—one where every part of you is welcome.
In our work together, we’ll gently explore the parts of you that feel difficult to access or understand. Over time, we’ll uncover the internal patterns and protective walls that may have once helped you survive—but are now holding you back from connection, growth, and ease.
Many of the individuals I work with are navigating the ongoing effects of painful life experiences, or are beginning to notice how their resistance to vulnerability might be limiting deeper relationships. My goal is to help you feel supported in doing this brave work. Therapy can be challenging, but I strive to make it less overwhelming, more grounded, and deeply human.
My Approach
I draw from a blend of evidence-based, trauma-informed therapies to support healing and long-term change. These include:
Internal Family Systems (IFS) – to help you connect with and care for your inner parts
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) – a research-supported method for processing trauma and distressing life experiences
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) – to strengthen emotional bonds and resolve conflict in couples
I tailor our work to your unique needs—whether you're seeking to recover from trauma, build more fulfilling relationships, or simply get to know yourself on a deeper level.
If you’re ready to begin—or even just curious—I’d be honored to walk alongside you in this process.
