My Ideal Client

I work with adults navigating anxiety, relational patterns, family-of-origin wounds, or the lingering effects of trauma. Many of my clients are deep feelers and caregivers who are ready to reclaim space for themselves. I support folks in understanding their nervous system, reconnecting with their body’s wisdom, and creating meaningful change in how they relate to themselves and others.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I offer trauma-informed therapy that integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic practices, and attachment-based approaches. My work is rooted in the belief that healing unfolds through safety, self-awareness, and connection. I support clients in understanding how early relationships and nervous system responses shape present challenges, and in building new patterns grounded in compassion and choice. I have experience working with individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, relational distress, family-of-origin pain, and self-worth struggles. I bring a warm, relational presence and am especially attuned to supporting those in caregiving roles or in recovery from developmental trauma. I hold a Master’s in Marriage & Family Therapy and provide therapy to individuals, couples, and families.

Techniques I Use

Issues I Treat

Specialties

  • Adjustment Disorder External link

    I support clients navigating life transitions, grief, and situational stress with compassion and practical tools. Together, we work to restore balance and build resilience in the face of change.

  • Anxiety External link

    I help clients understand the roots of their anxiety and support them in building regulation skills through trauma-informed, body-based practices that increase calm, confidence, and clarity.

  • Family Conflict External link

    Family conflict often stems from patterns that began long ago. I help clients explore intergenerational dynamics, unspoken roles, and communication challenges that may be impacting current relationships. Whether you are navigating tension with parents, siblings, or chosen family, I provide a nonjudgmental space to understand these cycles, set boundaries, and move toward more authentic, respectful connection.

  • PTSD External link

    I offer a trauma-informed approach integrating EMDR preparation, somatic awareness, and parts work to help clients safely process trauma, reduce symptoms, and rebuild a sense of internal safety.

  • Self-Esteem External link

    Together we explore the origins of self-critical beliefs and build practices that support self-compassion, healthy boundaries, and a more connected, empowered relationship with self and others.
