About Me
Welcome! I work with individuals and couples who want meaningful, lasting change. I help clients navigate trauma, relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, and grief- especially when patterns feel stuck or hard to shift. My work is focused on going beyond surface-level coping to understand the deeper emotional and relational experiences shaping your life.
I value connection, curiosity, and growth, both in and outside the therapy room. Outside of my practice, I enjoy spending time in nature through biking, hiking, skiing, running and yoga -activities that help me stay grounded and connected, and that inform my holistic approach to healing.
How I Work
I approach therapy with a strong emphasis on attunement -deeply listening and responding to each person with care and respect. I strive to create a space where you feel understood and where all parts of your experience are welcome.
I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you understand and work with different parts of yourself, especially those shaped by past experiences. With couples, I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to explore patterns, deepen emotional connection, and build more secure relationships. My work is collaborative and tailored, supporting deeper healing and lasting change.
