My primary therapeutic approach is Internal Family Systems (IFS), an evidence-based model that helps you understand and care for the different “parts” of yourself. I am trained in IFS through the IFS Institute. These parts often develop in response to painful or overwhelming experiences and can show up as self-doubt, inner criticism, emotional overwhelm, or disconnection from yourself and others.

Rather than trying to get rid of these parts, we work to understand them—how they’ve been trying to protect you, and what they may need in order to feel less burdened. Together, we focus on reducing internal conflict, building self-compassion, and strengthening your sense of stability, clarity, and agency.

Over the past decade, I’ve supported children, teens, and families across Florida and the Caribbean, helping clients navigate complex experiences with care and intention. My background in psychology and social work, combined with my commitment to ongoing education, allows me to offer therapy that is both grounded in research and deeply attuned to your individual needs.

In our work together, we move at a pace that feels safe and respectful for you. Many people who have experienced abuse worry about being judged, misunderstood, or pushed to revisit painful experiences before they are ready. There is no pressure here to share more than feels comfortable.

Instead, we focus on creating a grounded space where you can begin to understand the parts of you carrying pain, fear, anger, or self-doubt—parts that have worked hard to cope, protect, and survive. As those parts begin to feel heard and understood, many people notice meaningful shifts: feeling less overwhelmed, more connected to themselves, and more confident in navigating life and relationships.

Healing does not mean forgetting what happened. Often, it means learning how to relate to your experiences in a way that allows you to feel more steady, more connected to yourself, and better able to move forward with a stronger sense of who you are.
