If you’re reading this, you’re likely experiencing a tough time in life. I want to be there to make sure you don’t have to go through it alone. My approach focuses on guiding clients to confront and understand the difficult parts of themselves rather than trying to eliminate them. Whether dealing with trauma, marital conflict, or a child’s challenging behavior, I believe that meaningful change comes from learning to work with these 'difficult' parts. Every aspect of ourselves has a purpose, even if it no longer serves us. There is no such thing as a bad part of us. Together, we can explore these aspects to foster healing and growth. I specialize in working with children, adults, and couples who have difficulty with trauma, anxiety, emotional expression, and perfectionism. My tailored approach incorporates techniques like Internal Family Systems, EMDR, play therapy, sand tray therapy, art, movement and humor to create a safe, engaging space for authentic self-expression. No matter what life has told you—whether you’re “too much,” “too sensitive,” “too wounded,” “too anxious,” or “too difficult”—you are a valued and lovable person worthy of respect. I am here to help you address your individual and relational needs with compassion and honesty. Together, we’ll foster self-love and real connections with others and the world.
