Welcome

Looking for help takes courage, and you’ve already taken an important first step. I created this website to offer you a sense of who I am, how I work, and whether I might be the right fit for you at this time. I work with individuals, couples, and intimate partners seeking trauma healing, relationship repair, and personal growth. We may meet in regularly scheduled weekly sessions, or in extended intensives that allow for deeper work in a concentrated period of time — sometimes creating meaningful shifts in hours rather than months.

I am a Certified Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapist and advanced practitioner and staff member in Intimacy From the Inside Out (IFIO)- IFS for relationships. When appropriate I incorporate EMDR, mindfulness-based practices, polyvagal-informed work, and somatic approaches to support healing at both emotional and physiological levels.

While painful experiences can leave us feeling injured or stuck, I believe we all possess an innate healing system within the psyche, much like the body’s natural capacity to mend skin and bone. My role is to help you access and activate that system so you can move through life’s challenges with greater clarity, resilience, and self-trust.

Too often, people feel caught in an exhausting pursuit of “self-improvement,” believing they must fix something fundamentally wrong within them. In my experience, deep and lasting transformation does not arise from struggling or pushing ourselves. It grows from compassionate, connected, curious awareness. When we slow down and listen to the different parts of ourselves with curiosity rather than judgment, new pathways begin to emerge.

Therapy with me is a collaborative process. It is not about diagnosing what is wrong with you. In fact, most of our struggles are normal responses to abnormal situations. Together, we cultivate greater freedom and flexibility, increasing your sense of choice, self-agency, and embodied liberation.

Over the course of my career, people have occasionally asked how I sit and listen to others’ problems all day. I always smile at that question, because that is not how I experience this work. What I am privileged to witness is courage, resilience, and profound transformation. Being invited into someone’s healing journey — and observing the growth and embodied liberation that unfold in the therapy room — is an extraordinary honor.

At the heart of my work is a steady hope: that each person who walks into my office experiences an increased ease of well-being. When we create space for awareness, and meet ourselves with care, healing unfolds naturally — and people rediscover that they have had within them, all along, everything they need.
