I believe we all have the capacity to heal when we feel safe, seen, and supported. My work is rooted in Internal Family Systems (IFS)—a gentle, compassionate approach that helps you understand and care for the different parts of yourself that carry pain, fear, or self-criticism.
I work primarily with adults navigating anxiety, depression, women’s issues, and life transitions. Many of my clients describe feeling “tired of holding it all together” or unsure how to feel like themselves again. Together, we create space for understanding, self-trust, and lasting change from the inside out.
My style is warm, calm, and collaborative. I am passionate about helping you reconnect with your Inner wisdom and strength. Healing happens when we learn to listen inward, ease the parts of us carrying burdens and lead our lives with compassion.

Treatment Approach
- 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.
- Somatic Therapy Helps clients notice how emotions are stored in the body. It uses breath, movement, and awareness for healing trauma and stress.
Approach Description: Internal Family Systems (IFS) is an experiential therapy approach focused on building a loving, safe, and secure relationship between yourself and various “parts” of you. The basic idea in IFS is that we all have an inner family of “parts” that work to keep us safe, fulfilled, and connected. When painful experiences happen in our lives, our parts take on rigid roles to protect us from future pain, alleviate us from current pain, and to carry our past pain for us. These roles can lead to tension in our bodies, chronically depressed moods, fatigue, chronic health conditions, intrusive thoughts, distracted attention, extreme urges, and suicidal thoughts among other physical and mental symptoms. Each of our “parts” have distinct subpersonalities, hopes, interests, qualities, and fears. Parts that are thrust into protective roles by painful events in our histories may or may not be interested in assuming these roles. The primary focus in IFS is to fully listen to, understand, and appreciate our protective and burdened parts’ experiences and to invite them to choose the qualities and actions they would prefer to take on.

If you’re feeling anxious, low, or just feeling stretched thin by all that is on your plate, you don’t have to do it alone. I help adults—especially women—find relief from anxiety, depression, self-doubt, and the weight of grief or loss.
In our work together, we’ll use IFS, a gentle and empowering approach that helps you understand the different parts of yourself—like the ones that worry, criticize, or shut down—and build compassion and calm from the inside out.
