Introduction

Have you ever felt like you understand yourself, but still can't seem to change? Many of the people I work with are insightful, compassionate, and capable, yet find themselves caught in the same anxious thoughts, relationship patterns, or self-doubt. They aren't looking for a space to simply vent—they want to understand themselves and create lasting change. I believe our symptoms make sense in the context of our experiences. Anxiety, people-pleasing, perfectionism, relationship struggles, and the effects of childhood trauma often began as ways to adapt. Therapy isn't about fixing what's broken—it's about understanding why those patterns developed and creating new ones that better fit the life you want today. My approach is warm, collaborative, and conversational. Using EMDR, CBT, attachment-based therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and nervous system regulation, we'll explore the experiences that shaped you while building practical tools for meaningful, lasting change. I currently provide virtual therapy to clients located in Illinois, Virginia, and Washington, DC. Ready to get started? Click the contact link to reach out or ask questions about working together.
