I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychotherapist dedicated to helping people navigate trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, and the search for deeper self-understanding. My work is rooted in compassion, courage, and curiosity — qualities that support healing and authentic growth.
My approach draws on Internal Family Systems (IFS) and the Adult Children of Alcoholics & Dysfunctional Families (ACA) Reparenting framework, alongside mindfulness practices and evidence-based therapies. With both professional training and lived experience, I believe that real change is possible when we create space to listen within, build self-trust, and gently unlearn old survival patterns.
I specialize in supporting:
Individuals healing from childhood trauma or family dysfunction
People exploring intimacy, affection, and relationship patterns
Those navigating anxiety, self-criticism, or low self-esteem
LGBTQ+ individuals and communities
Anyone seeking a more authentic and fulfilling connection with themselves and others
Compassionate Courage Wellness is a place where all parts of you are welcome. Whether you are beginning therapy for the first time, returning after past experiences, or exploring new ways of healing, I offer a safe and collaborative space for your journey.
