About Me
It’s great to meet you.
I’m a licensed psychotherapist and consultant specializing in individual and couples therapy, with a focus on trauma, attachment, and relational dynamics.
I approach therapy as a space where all parts of you are welcome—especially the ones that may feel difficult to access, understand, or make sense of. Many of the patterns people struggle with developed for meaningful reasons, even if they no longer feel helpful.
In our work together, we’ll explore the internal dynamics and protective strategies that shape how you relate to yourself and others, with the goal of creating more flexibility, connection, and ease over time.
Background & Experience
In addition to private practice, my clinical experience includes work in crisis response and systems-based settings, including collaboration with law enforcement and community agencies in high-risk situations.
I have also worked within child welfare and family court-related contexts, which informs how I understand the intersection of individual, relational, and systemic dynamics.
This background continues to shape how I approach complexity, intensity, and clinical decision-making in my work.
How I Work
My approach is grounded in trauma-informed, attachment-based, and parts-oriented therapy.
Rather than applying a single method, I tailor the work based on your needs—whether that involves exploring internal conflict, processing past experiences, or working through relational patterns.
I tend to work at a pace that allows for depth without overwhelm, with an emphasis on helping change feel integrated and sustainable.
A Note on Fit
I tend to work best with individuals and couples who are open to exploring their internal and relational patterns at a deeper level.
This work may be especially helpful if you:
Feel stuck in recurring emotional or relational patterns
Notice internal conflict or competing parts of yourself
Are looking to move beyond insight into more experiential change
Consultation
In addition to therapy, I provide consultation for therapists working with trauma, dissociation, and complex relational dynamics.
As an EMDR International Association Approved Consultant, I offer both EMDR consultation and general case consultation for therapists seeking a more nuanced and flexible approach to their clinical work, as well as towards certification.
