Focus Areas and Specializations
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming—but you don’t have to do it alone. I work with adults of all ages navigating the effects of trauma, whether from a single painful event or ongoing relational and emotional trauma. Trauma can show up as people-pleasing, relationship struggles, anger, chronic pain, addiction, shame, insecurity, anxiety, depression, or difficulty with life transitions. Healing is possible, and you deserve support. I help people release shame, rediscover themselves, develop a greater sense of internal peace, learn to set boundaries and improve relationships, and to find reasons to smile again.
I am a Level 2 trained and certified Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist, and I also offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) for clients seeking an integrative path to recovery. My approach is trauma-informed and draws from multiple modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, mindfulness, and attachment theory.
Everyone needs to feel seen heard and valued, and we all grow from alliances in which we feel safe and gently challenged. You can borrow the compassion I offer as you learn to give it to yourself. Let’s work together to unearth the roots of your suffering and make positive, proactive changes in your life.
