Our Team

Therapy is a relational space — one where nothing about you is “too much,” broken, or wrong. Many of the patterns people come in with developed for good reasons: to survive, to stay connected, to stay safe. My work is about slowing down enough to understand those strategies with compassion, and then helping you build new ways of relating to yourself and others that feel more connected, grounded, and sustainable.

‍
I work with teens, young adults, and families navigating attachment wounds, abandonment, and complex trauma. Many of the people I support have histories shaped by PTSD, abuse, substance use, eating disorders, adoption or foster care, and high-conflict family dynamics. These experiences often show up as externalized anger, shutdown, push-and-pull relationships, emotional overwhelm, or feeling chronically misunderstood or unsafe in relationships. I hold a strong belief that behaviors often labeled as “problematic” are protective responses — signals from a nervous system doing its best to cope.

‍
My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and depth-oriented. I integrate attachment-focused therapy with Internal Family Systems (IFS)–informed parts work, Gestalt and experiential approaches, and nervous-system-aware regulation skills. I am also trained in integrative attachment therapy and continue advanced training in psychodrama and Gestalt therapy, using experiential and action-based methods to externalize inner conflicts, increase emotional awareness, and support embodied change. Rather than trying to eliminate symptoms, we work to understand what your system is communicating — and gently guide your inner parts toward more connected and collaborative ways of coping.

Clients often describe me as warm, grounded, and candid — someone who can hold heaviness while still making space for humor, honesty, and real connection. I pay close attention to what happens both within you and between us, because healing often unfolds not just through insight, but through being deeply seen and met in relationship.

‍
All parts of you are welcome here — the parts you’re proud of, the hidden parts, and the parts that learned to stay quiet, perform, or push back in order to survive. Therapy is a space to take up room, move away from shame, and explore new ways of relating to yourself and the people
you care about.

Outside of therapy, I enjoy adding to my adrenaline bucket list, camping, listening to live funk music, and getting lost in fantasy novels — reminders that play, curiosity, and aliveness are essential parts of healing.
