Do you push yourself to meet high standards, yet it never feels enough? Do doubt and guilt creep in as you strive to meet expectations? Do you often feel alone despite how much you give to others?

When you're used to managing alone, seeking support can feel daunting, you may even doubt that others can truly help. I'm glad you're here, and taking this first step toward the support you deserve.

Many of the people I work with feel caught in a strong internal system shaped by high standards, chronic worry, and a persistent inner critic that can feel harsh or difficult to quiet. This often shows up as patterns of over functioning, people-pleasing, difficulty feeling “enough,” or getting stuck in cycles of anxiety and self-criticism. I also support clients experiencing intrusive thoughts and compulsive patterns, as well as those impacted by earlier life experiences that continue to shape how they respond to current stress.

I am an Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist and work from a parts-based lens to help you understand and relate differently to these internal patterns. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as needed, and I am trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for anxiety and OCD.

I will create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you are welcome as you are. We stay in close connection with your internal experience and what different parts of you are noticing throughout the process, adjusting our work so it continues to feel supportive and useful. This process supports a deeper understanding of yourself, a different relationship with what you are experiencing, and greater trust in new ways of coping and responding that feel more effective for you.

In our first session, we will focus on what brings you to therapy and what you are hoping to change. I will ask questions to better understand your experiences, patterns, and current challenges, and we will begin identifying what feels most important to focus on.

You can expect to leave with a clearer understanding of what is going on internally, along with initial insights and practical ways to begin working with what is showing up for you. The goal is to help you start moving toward meaningful change in a way that feels supportive, manageable, and effective from the very beginning.
