More About Me
Relationships—whether with yourself or others—are at the heart of a fulfilling life. As a therapist, I believe that healing and transformation happen in the context of safe, supportive relationships, and I am deeply committed to helping my clients build the self-compassion, skills, and connections they need to thrive.
I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced complex trauma, relationship struggles, impulse control challenges (including excessive pornography or alcohol use), anxiety, and depression. I also work extensively with couples seeking to reduce conflict, improve communication, and rebuild intimacy and security.
My approach is grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS), a powerful model that helps you build a deep, trusting relationship with yourself—learning to understand, accept, and integrate all parts of who you are. With couples, I combine IFS with Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help partners develop self-awareness, emotional regulation, and the secure attachment needed for a strong and lasting relationship.
Therapy with me is an active, collaborative process. My clients appreciate that we always have a clear direction, adjusting as needed to ensure continuous progress. I bring curiosity, compassion, and lived experience to my work—I understand the challenges of mental health and relational conflict firsthand, and I know the transformative power of therapy because I’ve experienced it myself.
My hope for you is that through our work together, you will not only find relief but also a deeper sense of wholeness, peace, and connection—with yourself and in your relationships.
Let’s begin your journey toward healing and transformation.
