I help people shaped by childhood emotional neglect and complex trauma regulate their nervous systems, heal attachment patterns, and rebuild a steady, connected sense of self.
If you’ve tried self-help, journaling, or even AI, and still feel stuck, it’s because your patterns were formed in relationship - and they can only be healed in relationship.
My Approach
I combine Relational Intelligence (RI) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to explore your nervous system and the various parts of you that have worked diligently to help you function.
The core elements of our work
SAFETY AND REGULATION
This is the element of settling - where your body feels a little more supported and a little less alone.
What this includes:
Co-regulation through presence, bodily awareness of feelings and sensations, and therapist attunement to your nervous system’s needs
Understanding your nervous system’s patterns
Helping protective parts feel respected, not pushed
Why it matters:
Safety becomes something you can feel, not just imagineRELATIONAL REPAIR
Healing in the relational space between us through presence, and being seen and heard.
What this includes:
Experiencing steady, warm connection
Repairing moments of disconnection in real time
Letting parts feel seen, heard, and emotionally accompanied
Why it matters:
Your system learns that connection can be safe, mutual, and steady.UNDERSTANDING YOUR PARTS
A turning inward to meet the parts of you that protect, the parts that carry pain, and the parts longing for connection.
What this includes:
Meeting protectors with curiosity
Gently approaching younger parts holding old wounds
Understanding how emotional neglect shaped your inner world
Why it matters:
You begin to understand yourself with compassion instead of self-blameINTEGRATION AND SELF-LEADERSHIP
A returning to your own clarity, groundedness, and inner leadership.
What this includes:
Strengthening Self-energy
Expressing needs and boundaries with more ease
Living from a steadier, more connected sense of self
Why it matters:
You begin to move through the world from who you are - not from old survival strategies.Ready for change?
Seeking out therapy means you’re ready for something to move, change, or heal. The deep work is done through human connection, and I’m looking forward to helping you see it through.
