Whether you’re coming to therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or just feeling stuck, my goal is to help you reconnect with yourself and move toward the life you want to live. I believe real change happens when you feel both safe and challenged. I will support you in exploring the patterns, stories, and beliefs that have been keeping you stuck and start creating new ones that actually serve you. I integrate trauma-informed care, inner child work, parts work, and other evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, and motivational interviewing to help you make changes that last. I work with individuals age 15 and up.
Every relationship goes through different seasons. Whether you’re feeling stuck in conflict or simply disconnected, couples therapy offers space to slow down and rebuild understanding. I help partners move from defensiveness to honesty and teamwork using attachment theory and the Gottman Method. Together, we’ll uncover the deeper patterns beneath arguments and disagreements so both of you feel seen, heard, and supported. Couples therapy can help you repair after conflict, rekindle closeness, and create a relationship that feels secure and alive again.
Recovery from addiction is complex and deeply personal. I don’t believe in a “one size fits all” approach. My goal is to meet you exactly where you are and focus our work on what matters most to you. Addiction is only one part of your story, and I believe in treating you as a whole person, not a problem to “fix.” I approach this work through a trauma-informed lens and I use motivational interviewing to help you stay connected with your own reasons for change. Together, we’ll explore what’s getting in the way, build self-trust, and move toward healing at a pace that feels right for you.
When you are struggling with a history of trauma, our work always begins with stabilization and safety, helping you stay within your window of tolerance so therapy feels supportive. I move at your pace and stay with you through each step, grounding and slowing down when needed. Through inner child and parts work, we’ll gently explore the parts of you that learned to survive through protection, perfection, or self-blame and offer them understanding instead of criticism. This process helps you reconnect with yourself, build trust in your own resilience, and begin to feel whole again.
