About My Clients

Are you a woman who’s been relentlessly pushing and surviving through life? Because of what you’ve been through, you’ve built up a wall around your heart just to keep surviving. But now.. you’re stuck wondering who you are and having a hard time connecting with yourself and other people. You crave intimacy and at the same time are terrified or repulsed by it.

My Background and Approach

I use a blend of therapy models and a trauma-informed approach to meet you personally and tailor treatment just to you. I typically use Internal Family Systems and Polyvagal Theory to help you understand the parts of yourself that you have long been at war with, as well as help you feel safe being in your own body once again.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe everybody has the answers within, sometimes, we just forget and need extra help finding them. I have witnessed every person I've met holds unique strengths that we can tap into to help reach their goals. I firmly believe that most of the behaviors and things we do (yes, even the ones we don't like) have served a purpose to keep us safe and they've done a great job. However, sometimes, we no longer want to continue those patterns because they aren't helpful. Together, we'll identify alternatives that help you feel safe, whole and happy again.
