My Approach
Are you going through a stressful time or life transition that feels tied to something deeper? I work with adolescents and adults who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or are struggling with trauma, addiction, anxiety, or depression. Together, we explore how past experiences and intergenerational trauma show up in your present patterns, emotions, and relationships. I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR in a trauma-informed, attachment-focused way to help you process and heal those deeper roots—while building self-understanding, compassion, and lasting change.
I aim to create a space that feels warm, curious, and accepting, where we can identify your strengths and goals and increase self-awareness. I also integrate ACT, DBT skills, resourcing, and person-centered therapy to help you manage current stressors, build resilience, improve your connection to yourself and others, and improve day-to-day life
