This work is often a strong fit if you:
This practice may not be a good fit if you:
Are currently experiencing a mental health crisis
Are suicidal or need immediate crisis support
Have been psychiatrically hospitalized within the past 12 months
Are seeking couples therapy, family therapy, or treatment for active substance dependence
This work is not designed to replace crisis-level or stabilization-focused care.
If you are in crisis, immediate or local support is recommended. Please call 988 or 911 to connect with your local support systems.
My Therapeutic Approach
I work from an Internal Family Systems (IFS) perspective.
IFS helps people understand the different “parts” of themselves—such as parts that over function, people-please, shut down, or feel critical or ashamed, without pathologizing them.
The focus of IFS is on understanding internal patterns and parts, rather than trauma exposure or memory processing.
This is psychotherapy, not coaching, and is grounded in a licensed clinical framework.
My Style
Curious and collaborative
Non-judgmental and paced
Focused on understanding why patterns exist, not forcing change
The goal is increased internal balance, self-trust, and the ability to make choices that align with what you genuinely want.
I provide online IFS therapy and IFS intensives for adult women in California who are highly capable and organized on the outside but feel anxious, depressed, or emotionally disconnected on the inside. They tend to be highly organized, high-functioning women who appear put-together but experience internal emotional numbing, or shut-down. My work focuses on helping them better understand themselves, develop healthier boundaries, and feel more aligned with who they truly are.
Are dependable, organized, and frequently relied on at work or in your community
Are seen as capable or “having it together,” even when you feel overwhelmed internally
Take on more responsibility than your time or energy allows
Struggle with guilt, fear, or paralysis around saying no or setting boundaries
Feel anxious, exhausted, depressed, or emotionally numb despite external success
Sense that something needs to change but feel stuck or unsure how
Are curious about your internal world rather than seeking quick fixes
You are open to depth-oriented, exploratory therapy rather than skills-only or symptom-management approaches
Are interested in understanding your patterns and internal conflicts
Want to reconnect with your needs, values, and authentic voice
