I aim to help you identify and feel emotions as they show up in the body, and I use parts work as a way to identify root causes and effectively manage your inner critic. What we resist persists, so practicing acceptance can also help heal.
create breathing room around your sources of distress, strategize together about how to overcome them, attend to the parts of your identity & environment that impact your experience, & ultimately move toward a greater sense of sturdiness & self-love.

I employ evidence-based approaches focused on mindful awareness, self-attunement, living a value-directed life, self-compassion, tinkering with unhelpful patterns of thought & behavior - all couched within the important context of our relationship.

My framework is relational-cultural theory, which focuses on empowerment and strengths-based change, while valuing the impact of culture and trauma in our lives. In my practice, you are always in charge of your own therapy.

I have worked with those that are navigating relationships, breakups, career pivots, making and breaking habits, grief, and anger. I offer EMDR and other therapies to help you process challenging experiences, emotions, and trauma.
