Great to meet you!

Glad to meet you! I’m a psychotherapist, career coach, Air Force veteran, consultant, and world traveler originally from Buffalo, NY. My passion is helping people become the best version of themselves. I use a person-centered/relational approach to support those navigating trauma, addiction, faulty thinking, and other extreme parts. Through the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS), I help clients increase awareness of their protectors, exiles, and Self, gently inviting internal connection and relationship among parts—because there are no bad parts. Healing happens through compassionate curiosity and deeper internal understanding.

My approach to therapy

Your treatment goals dictate my role as either a psychotherapist, career coach, consultant, or a combination of all three in our relationship. I honor the inner-directed healing intelligence in all of us. I approach our relationship with curiosity in a safe, non-judgmental space to support and cultivate healing. My only ask is that you allow yourself grace and practice gratitude; these lead to empowerment!

What you can expect from me

I also identify as LGBTQIA affirming and sensitive to gender equality and racial equity. I practice from a person-centered, holistic approach; in therapy and life in general. If you feel that these characteristics resonate with you, click to schedule an appointment. I congratulate your courage in making the first step towards healing! Step on the mat, be vulnerable, and move towards healing. ~Namaste ([email protected])
