My path as a therapist is guided by a belief in the power of relationships, emotional connection, and the wisdom of the nervous system. I integrate attachment science with neuroscience-informed strategies to help you understand the language of your own nervous system. Whether we are using Internal Family Systems (IFS) to explore your internal world, EMDR to process past trauma, or Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to strengthen your partnership, my goal is to help you create a sense of safety that lives in your body, not just your mind.
Ultimately, I am committed to helping you build resilience, foster healthy relationships, and achieve lasting change. I look forward to walking alongside you as you rediscover your path to connection.

Treatment Approach
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Focuses on strengthening emotional bonds in couples or families. It helps people identify negative cycles and create more secure connections.
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) A structured therapy that uses guided eye movements to help process traumatic memories. It is widely recognized for treating PTSD and trauma-related conditions.
- Internal Family Systems (IFS) Helps clients heal by working with different ‘parts’ of themselves, like inner critics or wounded children. It fosters harmony within the self.
- Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) Combines mindfulness practices with CBT to prevent depression relapse. It helps people notice thoughts without judgment and respond more calmly.
Approach Description: Therapy isn't just about talking, it’s about physiological safety. I help clients understand their "Window of Tolerance" and learn tools to soothe their nervous systems in real-time. Sessions offer a purposeful space where individuals can bravely explore their emotional experiences. We begin by grounding into the present moment, ensuring your nervous system feels safe enough to do the deeper work of unburdening and integration.
