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.
Approach Description: Internal Family Systems has transformed my life and my clients' lives. When I personally started doing Internal Family Systems therapy, everything started falling into place. I was able to befriend the parts of me that overcontrolled me, the parts that tried to be perfect, and the ones that tried to please everyone else. I was able to bring home and heal the parts that were exiled. And I started making my internal world a wonderful place to be again. I have seen this process repeated over and over in my clients' lives. Being able to relate to and support yourself like a best friend has been life-changing for so many. I would love to share this with you too. I also incorporate EMDR to address specific trauma memories so they can be resolved. EMDR is a gold-star trauma treatment, which helps your nervous system stay regulated while you resolve trauma memories.

You can have a life that is not defined by anxiety, depression, shame, or loneliness. You can be brave and confident. You can value your own needs as much as you value others'. You can heal from growing up with emotionally-immature parents, harmful religious teachings/experiences, narcissistic abuse, sexual abuse, trauma, and shame. My job is to guide you there. I love helping clients find their voice and increase their self-confidence. I help you identify the factors underlying your anxiety, trauma, and depression so you're not just trying to cope with them anymore, but can get to the root issues and have more of the life you want.
Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, and hypnotherapy, I help you befriend the parts of yourself you've been taught to reject, unburdened from old shame and trauma, and develop genuine self-compassion. I am AuDHD and gifted, and I can help you diagnose, define, understand, and navigate your neurotype, as well as provide a neuro-affirming space.
I work with empaths, highly sensitive people, and intuitive individuals who need both clinical depth and spiritual permission. I offer work that honors your connection to intuition, dreams, and the wider-than-human world. I believe healing happens in relationship—with yourself, with others, and with the sacred, however you understand it.
