When your mind won’t slow down, your inner critic feels relentless, or daily life feels heavy, unstable, or overwhelming, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I work with people experiencing anxiety, OCD, depression, ADHD, trauma-related symptoms, eating disorders, substance misuse, addictions, and patterns of self-harm or suicidal thoughts. Together, we can make sense of what is happening, reduce shame, and build practical ways to feel more grounded, supported, and in control.

My approach is grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing, with ACT and DBT skills informed by my PHP/IOP training.

I primarily use Internal Family Systems (IFS). First session we will most likely be exploring our different parts of you (kind of like Inside Out or Big Mouth). Then we will zoom in on different parts and how they impact your ability to regulate, cope, connect, develop confidence, and create clarity/calmness. The end goal is that you become your own leader/"become the driver" in your life.
