Living with chronic illness can feel isolating, exhausting, and invisible — especially when you’re trying to function like everything’s fine. I support clients in understanding the emotional weight of illness, navigating limits without shame, and building a life that honors both their capacity and their humanity.

In EFT, we explore the emotions beneath the surface — the ones driving patterns, anxiety, and disconnection. Instead of managing or suppressing feelings, we learn to listen to them, understand what they’re asking for, and respond in ways that create real change. This work builds deeper self-trust and emotional clarity.

IFS helps us understand the different “parts” of you — the ones that work hard, the ones that shut down, the ones that carry pain. Together we get to know these parts with compassion, not judgment, so you can soften old patterns, reduce internal conflict, and feel more aligned, connected, and grounded in your whole self.

My work is grounded in genuine connection and trust. I offer a space where you don’t have to perform, over-explain, or hold everything together. Person-centered therapy allows us to move at your pace, follow what feels most alive for you, and build healing through authenticity, safety, and real human connection.

I work with people who feel stuck in cycles of self-criticism, comparison, and never feeling “enough.” Together, we explore the deeper emotional and relational roots of body image struggles, build compassion for the parts of you that learned to cope this way, and help you create a more grounded, connected relationship with your body.

Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but overwhelmed on the inside — constantly “holding it together,” overthinking, and feeling like they can’t turn their mind off. In therapy, we slow things down, untangle the patterns driving your anxiety, and help you reconnect with the parts of you that are tired of running on survival mode.
