About

Welcome, and thank you for visiting my page! Taking the first step to seek help or support is courageous—and I want to acknowledge how meaningful that is. I work with clients ranging from preteens to adults, each carrying their own unique life stories. My experience includes supporting individuals navigating trauma, mood disorders, ADHD, learning differences, and chronic health conditions. I have a particular passion for working with people in transitional life stages, as well as caregivers—whether you're a parent, a professional, or supporting an aging loved one. Wherever you are in your journey, I see you. I hear you. My approach blends psychodynamic theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and attachment-based work. These frameworks help us explore how past experiences shape present patterns, understand the different "parts" of ourselves, and build more secure, compassionate connections both internally and externally.
