I support individuals navigating substance use, addiction recovery, and the challenges of sustaining meaningful change. With personal experience in addiction recovery, I understand both the struggle and the possibility of healing. Rather than shame or judgment, we explore underlying needs, emotions, and experiences with curiosity and compassion. Using trauma-informed, IFS, mindfulness, and evidence-based approaches, we build coping skills, heal underlying wounds, and support lasting recovery.

Anxiety can leave you feeling overwhelmed, constantly on edge, or trapped in cycles of overthinking and self-doubt. Together, we'll explore what's beneath your anxiety while developing practical ways to regulate your nervous system and respond differently to difficult thoughts and emotions. I integrate IFS, mindfulness, and evidence-based practices to help you build greater self-understanding, confidence, and a sense of calm from within.

I am IFS level one trained and integrate parts work throughout my practice to help clients understand the protective patterns that developed in response to difficult experiences. Rather than viewing parts of ourselves as problems to fix, we approach them with curiosity and compassion. This process can help you understand why you respond the way you do, heal underlying wounds, and develop a more trusting relationship with yourself.

My work is grounded in trauma-informed care and an understanding of how difficult experiences can shape our emotions, relationships, beliefs, and nervous system. I integrate IFS, attachment, mindfulness, and Polyvagal-informed approaches to help you understand patterns rooted in survival and develop greater safety and regulation. We move at a pace that honors your needs while working toward deeper, lasting healing.

With a Master's in Mindfulness-Based Transpersonal Counseling from Naropa University, my training is rooted in understanding the whole person rather than treating symptoms in isolation. I integrate mindfulness, mind-body awareness, spirituality, and evidence-based practices while considering your relationships, values, experiences, and environment. Together, we'll identify what supports greater balance, connection, and meaningful change in your life.

Trauma can shape how you see yourself, relate to others, and respond to the world long after an experience has passed. I use a trauma-informed approach integrating IFS, attachment, mindfulness, and nervous system awareness to help you understand protective patterns and reconnect with a sense of safety. Together, we'll work at a pace that feels supportive as you process the past and build greater trust, connection, and resilience.
