Healing grows in spaces where you feel welcomed, understood, and supported at your own pace.

LPC Resident in Counseling
Start Today Counseling Interventions
I believe our closest relationships shape much of how we move through the world. Even strong, loving connections can feel strained when communication slips, old wounds get activated, or life stressors begins to build. I work with individuals, couples, and families to help shift reactive patterns into clarity, emotional safety, and more meaningful connection. My approach blends insight with practical, accessible tools. I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you understand the different parts of yourself and the patterns that show up in your relationships. Together, we explore these patterns with curiosity and compassion and gently working through the places that feel stuck or tender. I also offer here‑and‑now strategies to support communication skills, emotional regulation, and problem‑solving so you can experience more steadiness and connection in your daily life. Treatment Focus - Adults (18+), Couples, and Families - Communication, conflict management, and emotional regulation - Self‑concept, self‑esteem, and confidence - Anxiety & depression - Chronic stress & burnout - Life and family transitions Whether you’re rebuilding trust, navigating a transition, or wanting to grow on a personal level, I offer a collaborative and supportive space where you can feel seen, heard, and understood. My hope is to help you move toward relationships (including the one you have with yourself) in a way that feels more grounded, connected, and fulfilling.
