Supervisor: Emily Brems, LMFT

Many people are carrying far more than those closest to them realize. You may be the one everyone depends on: the parent navigating IEP meetings and treatment teams; the daughter caring for a parent with Alzheimer’s; or the woman carrying the invisible weight of caregiving, relationship betrayal, or burnout. On the outside, you strive to appear capable and composed while internally feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or disconnected. I help clients slow down, untangle these internal struggles, and reconnect with the parts of themselves that have been carrying too much for too long.

I work with parents of children with special needs and eating disorders; individuals navigating betrayal trauma, women’s issues or life transitions; and adults caring for aging parents with Alzheimer’s or other cognitive decline. My approach is grounded in a client-centered, trauma-informed foundation with a strong emphasis on Internal Family Systems (IFS). Together—with compassion rather than judgment—we’ll explore the different “parts” of you that developed to protect, manage, cope, or survive.

I believe healing happens when people feel safe enough to be their authentic self rather than forced into expectations that were never designed for them. My own experiences living in different parts of the world have shaped a culturally sensitive and holistic perspective that honors the connection between mind, body, and spirit.

If you’re looking for a compassionate, collaborative space to process, heal, and rediscover yourself, I’d be honored to walk alongside you—You do not have to carry everything alone.
