It’s difficult to find your footing.

Between work, relationships, and caring for others, it’s hard to find a steady center for yourself.
An inner critic or anxious thoughts keep you from feeling at ease, even when things are “going fine” on the outside.
Transitions—whether becoming a parent, changing careers, shifting identities, or navigating changes in relationships—can stir up unexpected emotions.
Stress, worry, or past hurts feel heavier than you want to admit, and it’s exhausting to keep pushing through.
Maybe you were the good kid growing up. The one no one had to worry about. Now, that same part of you pushes to keep it all together, even when you’re overwhelmed.
Even when you check every box, part of you still feels like it wasn’t good enough.
A sense of peace, clarity, or connection feels just out of reach, and you wonder if therapy could help you find it.

Sometimes people come to me after they’ve already put in a lot of work in therapy. They’ve pulled weeds, tended the soil, and built healthier habits, but the same struggles still sprout up. If that’s you, it doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong. It may mean the roots run deeper. Together we can create space to gently untangle those roots and allow new growth to take hold.

I specialize in therapy that untangles and restores.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is an evidence-based approach that helps you explore your inner world with curiosity and compassion. Instead of fighting against your “parts,” like the inner critic, the anxious voice, or the perfectionist, IFS creates space to understand them and reconnect with your calm, steady Self. It’s a gentle, effective way to untangle patterns and find balance within.
