My goal is to create a space where every part of you is welcome—even the ones you might not feel so comfortable with yet! Together, we'll explore the different parts of you, understand why they show up, and help them find more balance. I often work with women’s issues, college students, complex trauma, teens, and more. Together, we will unpack the pressures women are taught to carry—self-sacrifice, overfunctioning, perfectionism, and shrinking yourself to keep others comfortable. We will work to reconnect you to your own voice, values, and power so you can set boundaries, trust yourself deeply, and live more authentically. Complex trauma can show up in many ways in your everyday life- through your relationships, your body, or your thoughts, and it can feel exhausting. Together we will untangle those patterns and honor the parts of you that kept you going, to help you find steadiness again.

I also believe healing happens through connection with others and with yourself.  Many struggles come from feeling disconnected, misunderstood, or isolated, and therapy can be a place to rebuild trust in relationships and in your own voice. I bring warmth, humor, and curiosity into our work, because growth often happens when we can feel both safe and authentic. As a therapist, I believe that every client I see is the expert on their own life, and thus should be treated with respect and as an equal partner in the therapeutic relationship. I strive to maintain a fully non-judgment and empathetic approach.

In session, you can expect me to be warm, direct, and genuinely invested in your growth—willing to sit with the hard stuff while also finding moments of lightness. We will laugh, cry, and do all of the challenging work in between. I don't believe in a "one-size-fits-all" approach, and I'll work with you to find the style that works best for you.  I often use techniques rooted in IFS (Internal Family Systems) and DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy) to help connect you to your inner self while also teaching you practical skills that can be used in daily life for anxiety and panic disorders.
