About

If you’re experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, or substance-related patterns, you may have symptoms such as rumination, emotional shutdown, irritability, avoidance, numbness, or difficulty with closeness. You may feel stuck despite insight and effort. I work with adults who want durable change: improved stability, reduced reactivity, better sleep, clearer boundaries, and more satisfying relationships. Together we can collaborate to clarify goals, identify patterns, and track progress over time. Sessions emphasize trust, safety, and practical applications so new insights translate into daily functioning. My approach is trauma-informed and integrative, with a strong Internal Family Systems (IFS) foundation, alongside psychodynamic/relational work and Motivational Interviewing, when helpful. Together we map protective strategies, strengthen self-leadership, process underlying pain and meanings, and develop skills for emotional regulation and communication.
