Our experiences shape who we are—how we see ourselves, how we see the world, how we connect with others, and what we believe we're capable of. But those stories aren’t set in stone. Together, we can explore new possibilities, break free from old patterns, and rewrite the narrative. Just as each of us and our experiences are unique, therapy should reflect that same diversity and openness. You are uniquely you and the expert on your life, and I am here to create a safe, supportive, and compassionate space where you can uncover your needs, discover your voice, and begin making the changes that matter to you.

I bring a trauma-informed, collaborative approach to my work with individual adults, adolescents, couples, and families. My practice is grounded in a blend of therapeutic modalities, including client-centered talk therapy, trauma work, identifying and replacing disruptive patterns through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment work, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and relational conflict resolution. I am also trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapy. EMDR therapy works to relieve, reduce, and reprocess the distress and negative beliefs, thoughts, and feelings associated with experienced unprocessed trauma through the use of bilateral stimulation.

​

A significant part of my work involves helping clients understand the different “parts” of themselves that have developed throughout their lives. We all have parts that protect us. Parts that become anxious, shut down, seek control, people-please, become angry, strive for perfection, or tell us we are not enough. Rather than judging or trying to get rid of these parts, we can become curious about them. Often, behaviors that no longer serve us began as ways of protecting us or helping us survive something difficult. Parts work allows us to understand what those patterns are trying to protect, tend to the experiences underneath them, and develop a more compassionate relationship with ourselves.

​

For experiences that feel deeply rooted or difficult to shift through talk therapy alone, I may also incorporate EMDR. Trauma and painful experiences can sometimes remain stored in ways that continue to influence how we feel and respond in the present, even when we intellectually understand that we are safe or that our circumstances have changed. EMDR can help us process these experiences so they feel less emotionally charged and have less power over our present-day lives.

We will work together to create a plan that feels authentic to you—one that supports your unique path to healing, feeling good, and living your best life.
