I provide individual counseling for adults 18 and older navigating the impacts of trauma, life transitions, and the complexities of being human. My approach is grounded in the belief that you are the expert on your own life. Therapy is not about me telling you who you are or what you should do—it is a space for us to explore, with curiosity and compassion, what you have experienced, what you are carrying, and what you may need now.

My work is primarily informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS), an approach that recognizes that we all have different “parts” of ourselves that have developed through our experiences and often work hard to protect us. Rather than trying to get rid of difficult thoughts, feelings, or responses, we can become curious about them, understand what they are trying to do for us, and build a different relationship with them.

I also integrate trauma-sensitive mindfulness, neuroscience, and creative forms of expression. We may talk, notice what is happening in your body, explore a part, use writing or other creative practices, or experiment with something entirely different. Everything we do—both during sessions and between them—is invitational. You always have choice in how you participate.

I believe our wellbeing cannot be separated from the lives we have lived or the worlds we live in. Together, we can consider not only what is happening within you, but also the relationships, family experiences, identities, communities, culture, environments, and systems that have shaped your story.

There is no single right way to do therapy. We begin where you are, follow the trailheads that emerge, and see where they lead.
