I am a licensed therapist with over 12 years of experience, specializing in helping individuals and couples navigate challenges, foster deeper connections, and heal from trauma. My approach is relational, collaborative, and tailored to each client, integrating modalities like EFT, PACT, IFS, and EMDR. I create a safe and supportive space for self-discovery, helping clients build greater self-awareness, compassion, and resilience in their lives and relationships.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the first session, clients can expect a welcoming and collaborative space where we begin building a foundation of trust and understanding. I’ll ask about your current challenges, goals for therapy, and any relevant background information to help me understand your unique story. We’ll explore what brought you to therapy and discuss how I work, tailoring an approach that suits your needs. The session is also an opportunity for you to ask questions, share what you hope to gain from our work together, and ensure that you feel comfortable moving forward.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strengths as a provider lie in creating a safe, compassionate space where clients feel seen, heard, and supported. My therapy focuses on fostering deep, transformative change—helping clients grieve losses, heal emotional wounds, and move forward in life with greater clarity and purpose. I integrate evidence-based modalities like EFT, PACT, IFS, and EMDR to support healing, self-acceptance, and a learning orientation to life. By balancing empathy with insight, I guide clients toward meaningful growth, empowering them to embrace life’s challenges as opportunities for transformation.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I work best with individuals and couples who are seeking to deepen self-awareness, navigate relational challenges, or heal from trauma. My approach is particularly suited for those who are open to exploring their inner world, including their emotions, patterns, and attachment dynamics. I am experienced in working with clients facing issues such as anxiety, relationship struggles, developmental trauma, and those seeking personal growth or greater emotional connection in their lives. Whether you’re looking to build healthier relationships or address internal conflicts, I strive to meet you where you are with compassion and tailored support.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
I have been using Internal Family Systems (IFS) in my practice for five years and find it highly effective for addressing internal conflict and fostering self-compassion. IFS helps clients explore different “parts” of themselves, resolve inner struggles, and connect with their core Self—a state of calm and clarity. In sessions, I guide clients to identify and understand their parts, listen to their needs, and build trust and compassion within themselves. This approach is especially helpful for processing trauma, navigating emotional challenges, and empowering ongoing personal growth.
EMDR
I also incorporate EMDR into my practice, which is highly effective for processing trauma and helping clients release deeply held emotional and physical patterns, allowing them to move forward with greater clarity and resilience.
Attachment-based
I integrate attachment-focused work with a relational lens, using an analytical understanding of past dynamics to help clients deepen self-awareness and build healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I occasionally incorporate CBT when specifically needed, as it can be effective for addressing immediate challenges.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
With over a decade of experience in mindfulness-based therapy, I specialize in helping clients connect to the present moment, cultivate self-awareness, and manage stress, anxiety, and emotional challenges. Using mindfulness meditation, body awareness techniques, and a focus on the felt sense, I guide clients in developing a deeper connection to their emotions and experiences. I believe in the transformative power of mindfulness to foster emotional resilience, clarity, and lasting change, and work collaboratively with clients to integrate these practices into their daily lives.
