You may be good at holding things together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from yourself underneath. Sometimes it can be hard to understand why certain things keep affecting you the way they do. Therapy can help you make sense of what keeps showing up and decide what you want to carry forward.

 

I’m especially drawn to working with women navigating ADHD and the never-ending demands of parenting and everyday life. Many of the women I work with are also dealing with the ways past trauma still affects their lives today.

 

My individual work is not limited to women. I welcome all individuals who want to better understand themselves and the patterns they bring into their relationships, particularly when past experiences continue to affect connection, communication, or their sense of self.

 

The way we communicate often reflects the ways we have learned to protect ourselves.

 

My work is grounded in a systemic and relational perspective. I look beyond symptoms alone to the relationships, experiences, and patterns connected to what you’re going through. My approach is trauma-informed and neurodivergent-affirming, and I draw from different models depending on what fits you and what we are working on together:

 

• Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps us understand the parts of ourselves that carry emotions, beliefs, and protective roles.

• Bowen Family Systems helps us explore family patterns, emotional roles, expectations, boundaries, and dynamics that may continue across generations.

• Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on attachment, emotional needs, and the patterns that leave people feeling disconnected or stuck in conflict.

• Gottman Method offers evidence-based tools to improve communication, navigate conflict, and strengthen connection in couples work.

 

For clients who have spent years masking, adapting, or trying to meet everyone else’s expectations, therapy can be a place to reconnect with what matters to you and how you want to live.

 

My style is genuine, curious, and grounded. I’m an active and engaged therapist: I’ll ask questions, offer perspective, notice patterns, and help connect the dots with you. I want therapy to feel collaborative and to be a place where you can be yourself, even when you’re not sure where to start.
