About

You’ve survived things that changed how your body and mind move through the world. Even in calm moments, part of you stays alert, waiting for something to go wrong. Some days you’re flooded with emotion; other days, you go numb to make it through. You keep showing up — for work, family, everyone — but inside it feels like you’re still bracing for impact. You’ve tried to think your way out of the pain, but healing needs something deeper than logic. You just want to feel safe again — in your own body, your own story. I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you gently meet the parts that hold pain and the parts that protect you from it. We go at your pace — no reliving trauma, no forcing emotions. Instead, we create space for safety, trust, and repair so your system can begin to rest, integrate, and heal from the inside out.
