Warm, curious, and collaborative. You bring the willingness and we'll figure out the rest together. I draw on Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, DBT, and somatic and attachment-based work, tailored to what you actually need. I'm trauma-informed throughout and believe every person carries an inner wisdom that gets buried, not broken.

Get curious about what's really going on beneath the anxiety, the self-criticism, or the relationship pattern that keeps repeating. We'll build safety first, then gently uncover the different parts of you and what they've been protecting, so you can move forward feeling more whole, not just managing symptoms.

Warm, genuine, and easy to talk to. Someone who really listens, doesn't judge, and helps them feel understood and less alone. Practical when it helps, patient when it matters, and on their side the whole way through.

are carrying anxiety, depression, grief, or the weight of past experiences and are ready to make real, lasting change. Many of my clients are navigating a big transition, stuck in a relationship pattern they can't seem to break, or tired of being harder on themselves than they'd ever be on anyone else.

I believe healing happens in relationship, and I wanted to be the kind of presence that helps people reconnect with what was whole in them all along. I came to this work through life coaching and found I cared most about what sits underneath the goals: the parts of us we learn to silence or fight. Meeting those parts with curiosity is the work I love.
