At Inner Compass Therapy, My Mission is to:
Help people unlearn old survival-mode patterns, so they can navigate a complicated, often overwhelming world with more clarity, choice, and self-trust.
I work with people who feel stuck in cycles of fear, overwhelm, and disconnection.
In my work with teens and families, I’ve seen how often complex or generational trauma lies at the root of those cycles. I don’t treat “trauma” as a label, but as a lived story to mine for meaning.
In therapy, we make sense of what you’ve been through, how it shaped the ways you protect yourself, and how you can begin to feel safer and more connected in the present.
At the center of my work is the idea that you have more choice, agency, and influence in your life than it sometimes feels like—especially when you’re anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed. Rather than trying to “fix” you, we work to understand what your experiences are telling you about what you need, what matters to you, and what feels out of alignment right now.
I believe therapy works best when it focuses on you as a whole person, not just a list of problems.
My work is grounded, practical, and insight-focused. Together, we make sense of patterns, build tools that actually help, and work toward a life that feels less like constant survival.
Let's Work Together
01 | Therapy for Adults
For adults facing anxiety, depression, complex or relational trauma, or life transitions. We will work together to identify the core pain points, explore the root cause of your feeling stuck and work towards building more secure patterns of relating through depth-oriented, supportive interventions.
02 | Therapy for Teens
For teens dealing with anxiety, low mood, school avoidance, peer conflict, family disruption, or effects of complex trauma. Similar to adults, we work towards secure patterns of relating to improve mood and functioning. As teens are a part of a family system, parents and/or caregivers will be required to participate in treatment.
Areas of Expertise
Anxiety
From major life changes, difficulty making decisions, difficulty being present/concentrating, restlessness, doing too much and feeling like you did nothing at all, overthinking, not trusting yourself.
Depression
Low mood/no motivation, low self-worth, wanting to make a life change but fearful/unmotivated/stuck, socially isolated, easily irritated/snappy, and hating everything.
Complex trauma
That little monster that’s been with you since you can remember. That thing in your mind’s blind spot that’s keeping you stuck.
Parent/teen conflict
This could include arguments, isolation, withdrawal, defiance, and feeling like, “I don’t know who my kid is anymore.”
Why Work Together?
Because understanding yourself changes everything.
I’m drawn to this work because I believe insight creates freedom. When we understand why we feel, react, or relate the way we do, things that once felt overwhelming often become more workable.
I work seriously and thoughtfully, but not rigidly. I pay attention, ask direct questions when it matters, and don’t shy away from calling out patterns once there’s enough trust to do so. At my best, I bring steadiness, curiosity, and courage into the room so you don’t have to do the hard parts alone.
My goal isn’t to tell you who to be, but to help you see yourself clearly enough to choose.
This work is about resilience, direction, and self-trust.
I do this work because I believe that with insight and meaning we can take action more authentically and intentionally.

A Little About Me
I have a lot of personal experience feeling stuck, disconnected, and feeling like I would never find my way out of the morass of false starts and dead ends. It’s been an incredibly rewarding journey to get on the other side of that experience and I’m honored to share with you what I’ve learned from myself and from others.
