You might feel like you’re carrying too much—thoughts that don’t stop, emotions that feel like a tidal wave, or a constant pressure to be better, do more, or show up perfectly. I believe therapy is a place to put some of that down and figure out what really matters to you and how you can show up most authentically in your life and relationships.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other and explore what brought you to therapy. You can share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with—we’ll go at your pace. My goal is to create a supportive, non-judgmental space where you feel heard and understood from the start.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I relate to clients on a human to human level. Having experienced my own grief, loss, and mental health challenges, I bring genuine empathy and a real understanding to the work we do together. This allows me to connect with you in a way that feels supportive, honest, and meaningful.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
You might feel like your mind is always racing—jumping from one thing to the next—and no matter how hard you try, it’s tough to stay focused or get everything done. Anxiety might have you overthinking, while depression makes it hard to even get started. And now, with big changes happening in your life, it feels even harder to find your footing or figure out your next steps. Maybe routines feel impossible to stick to, or you’re questioning yourself more than ever. At the same time, you’re ready for something to shift—you want to feel more balanced, less overwhelmed, and more confident as you navigate this next chapter.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Integrative
I have extensive experience using an integrative therapy approach in my practice. This means I draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities and adapt them to meet each client’s unique needs, preferences, and goals. I incorporate Internal Family Systems (IFS or parts work), a trauma-informed perspective, and a client-centered, strengths-based approach to create a supportive and collaborative space for healing.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
My style is informed by IFS, which helps you connect with different parts of yourself—like the part that feels anxious or self-critical and the part that just wants to feel safe or at ease. I think this approach makes big emotions and complicated situations feel more manageable because it reminds us that we’re not defined by just one feeling or way of thinking—we’re more complex than that.
EMDR
EMDR is a type of therapy that helps process and heal from difficult experiences or trauma by working with the mind and body together. EMDR can make overwhelming emotions or memories feel more manageable by helping you tap into your brain’s natural ability to heal. I am currently completing a training in this powerful method and can now offer this as part of my work with clients seeking deeper healing and growth.
