Start reclaiming your calm, clarity, and confidence.

Do you

You’re not just a diagnosis or a list of symptoms. Therapy with me is relational, emotion-focused, and insight-driven. While CBT provides the foundation for identifying patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, our work will go deeper—into the emotional and relational systems that shaped how you show up in the world.

You’ll find that I’m engaged, empathic, and transparent. I’ll gently challenge you when needed and provide structure when things feel chaotic. Together, we’ll build a therapeutic space where you feel seen, safe, and empowered.

My Approach

Together We Will

– Explore your emotional patterns and nervous system responses

– Process old emotional wounds and beliefs that still shape your present

– Strengthen your ability to stay present and regulated in emotionally charged moments

– Learn how to track, understand, and care for your internal parts (IFS)

– Rebuild emotional safety and connection in your relationship with self and others

What Makes This Work Different

Many clients come to me frustrated after trying therapy that focused heavily on coping skills or surface-level symptom reduction. While those have their place, my approach centers on what happens beneath the symptom—what fuels your anxiety, disconnection, or emotional reactivity in the first place.

When Skills Haven’t Worked

Have you tried box breathing, grounding, or cognitive reframing—and felt like nothing changed? That’s not a failure on your part. Often, those tools are offered without first creating emotional safety or addressing what’s driving the distress.

In our work, we’ll focus on learning how to use skills while emotionally activated, not just when things are calm. That includes helping your brain shift from fight-or-flight mode (amygdala activation) back into connection, reason, and regulation (prefrontal cortex functioning).

Emotional Regulation and Attachment Wounds

You may have internalized messages that strong emotions are unsafe, weak, or even dangerous. Over time, these messages create emotional habits—like shutting down, over-functioning, or pushing people away.

Our work will gently interrupt these patterns. We’ll create a space where emotions become information, not threats. You’ll learn how to move through fear, shame, and anger with more self-compassion and agency.

We’ll also explore how your early relationships may still influence how you feel in conflict, intimacy, or vulnerability today. Using elements of IFS, EFT, and psychoanalytic insight, we can begin to map out how these past experiences show up in present struggles—and how to shift them.

Maladaptive Coping Patterns

Have you ever thought, “I was just trying to help… why did that go so badly?”

Often, our efforts to feel safe—emotionally or relationally—have unintended consequences. You may withdraw, overanalyze, pursue connection intensely, or suppress emotion altogether.

These strategies made sense once. But they may now create pain, misunderstanding, or disconnection. Therapy helps untangle these reactions so you can move from automatic survival into intentional living.
