“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.” — Carl Jung

You may find yourself repeating the same emotional or relationship patterns despite all the healing, insight, and growth you’ve already worked hard to achieve. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, relationship difficulties, life transitions, or feeling disconnected from yourself or those you love, therapy can provide a space to better understand yourself, strengthen your relationships, develop new ways of responding, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Therapy should be a judgment-free, supportive, and compassionate space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. While there is certainly space to talk through what’s happening in your life, my approach also goes beyond traditional talk therapy by helping you understand the deeper emotional, relational, and nervous system patterns that shape your experiences.

My work is grounded in psychodynamic psychotherapy while integrating attachment-based, somatic, and evidence-informed approaches including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), mindfulness, and polyvagal-informed interventions. Together, we’ll explore not only what is happening in your life now, but also the deeper experiences and patterns that may be shaping your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and sense of self.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, complex trauma, dissociation, grief, life transitions, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, substance use and recovery concerns, and emotional dysregulation. I especially enjoy working with individuals and couples who want to better understand recurring relationship patterns, strengthen their connection to themselves and the people they love, improve communication, and build healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and strive to provide a culturally responsive, inclusive environment for individuals from diverse identities, backgrounds, and relationship structures, including those in consensually non-monogamous, polyamorous, and other alternative relationship structures. While I currently provide therapy in English, I am also bilingual in Spanish and am happy to incorporate Spanish into sessions when it helps support communication, understanding, and client comfort.

If you’re ready to begin exploring the patterns that may be holding you back, deepen your relationships, and move toward the person you want to become, I would be honored to support you.
