(she/her)
Across my years in the mental health field, I’ve learned that codependency, attachment wounds, and identity-shifting survival patterns don’t just affect our thoughts — they shape our nervous system, our relationships, and the way we move through the world. Healing isn’t just psychological; it’s emotional, somatic, and deeply spiritual. My work integrates all three. I help individuals understand the parts of themselves that learned to over-function, people-please, or over-attach for safety, and guide them toward a life led by inner alignment, self-trust, and grounded confidence rather than fear.
Progress happens through connection — not performance. I walk alongside you as you reclaim the parts of you that learned to survive rather than thrive. Together, we unravel old patterns, understand your nervous system, and help you reconnect with the you that has always been beneath the fear, urgency, or self-abandonment. My style is direct yet compassionate, deeply intuitive, and rooted in helping you access your own inner power and emotional truth.
I hold space for the unique dynamics, identities, and intergenerational patterns that shape who you are. Understanding your lens is not optional — it’s foundational. I’m also personable and authentic. You will likely laugh with me, reflect with me, and experience both depth and levity in our work. If spirituality is important to you, I’m comfortable weaving that into the process, because I believe healing is the matter of combining, the mind, body, and spirit. Above all, I bring clinical clarity, emotional safety, and an ability to help you see what’s underneath your patterns, not just the symptoms.
I work best with high-functioning individuals who feel overwhelmed, over-responsible, and disconnected internally. They’re often the strong, dependable helper—emotionally intelligent, self-aware, yet stuck in patterns they can’t seem to shift. While capable and successful in many areas, they struggle in relationships or within themselves, often overthinking, overgiving, and finding it difficult to slow down, receive support, or feel grounded in a secure, authentic sense of self.
Psychodynamic
In psychodynamic therapy, I help clients heal by exploring unconscious patterns, past experiences, and relational dynamics that shape their present struggles. By uncovering early childhood wounds and how they manifest in current behaviors, clients gain deeper insight into their emotional world. I pay attention to defense mechanisms—such as avoidance, repression, or projection—that may be keeping them from accessing painful emotions, gently challenging these barriers to facilitate self-awareness. Through transference work, I help clients recognize how they may be unconsciously replaying past relationship dynamics, allowing them to reprocess old wounds in a safe, therapeutic space.
Psychoanalytic
I support clients in uncovering the deeper, often unconscious patterns that shape their relationships, self-concept, and emotional struggles. My approach is rooted in the belief that our early experiences — particularly those we may not fully remember or understand — continue to influence the ways we relate to ourselves and others today. Through a safe and consistent therapeutic relationship, I help clients explore the emotional meanings beneath their thoughts, behaviors, and symptoms. Together, we work to bring unconscious material into conscious awareness, so that clients can begin to understand the "why" behind their internal conflicts, repetitive patterns, or emotional blocks. I guide clients in making space for all parts of themselves, especially those they've learned to hide, suppress, or adapt to meet the expectations of others. Over time, this process fosters emotional insight, self-compassion, and lasting change from the inside out.
