About

I work with individuals and couples who feel disconnected from themselves, their partners, or their sense of purpose. Whether it's anxiety, relationship stress, or questions around intimacy, I specialize in working with athletes and individuals in high-caliber roles who are navigating performance pressure, identity, and relational strain. My approach combines evidence-based tools, such as DBT and ACT, with in-depth self-exploration through IFS. I help clients develop psychological flexibility and self-compassion, assisting them in moving toward the life and relationships they truly desire. View 4 Photos Utilizing a trauma-informed approach, I allow my clients to investigate themselves using different methods such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I welcome clients of all backgrounds and intersections, including BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ identifying individuals.
