I enjoy working with teens, adults, couples, and families from various backgrounds using attachment focused, experiential, somatic, mindfulness based, and other therapies to promote personal growth, healing, and rediscovery. My professional areas of interest include: trauma, eating disorders, anxiety, depression and mood disorders, substance abuse, process addictions, ADHD, codependency, relationship and intimacy issues, attachment and family of origin issues, and personality disorders. In my work with clients, I utilize a range of interventions and therapeutic techniques based on the clients' own needs and presenting problems.
The Religious Trauma Group is for anyone who has experienced distress, abuse, and/or trauma in a religious/spiritual context or community. Clients meet together in an atmosphere of acceptance, safety, openness, and support to have conversations about the distress experienced, to process these events, to connect with others' experiences, and to find or create new and positive ways of moving forward. There is open and honest conversation among group members about their challenges, aspirations, feelings, ideas, and reactions. The Religious Trauma Group is led by therapist Gabriel Starner, TLMFT with supporting therapists. 1 Sunday/month, 12pm-2pm.

I am a caring and empathetic person who has a heart for helping people. As a therapist I seek to work collaboratively with clients in establishing treatment goals. My hope is that clients will learn new and healthier ways of living and gain a greater ability to treat both themselves and others with compassion. It takes courage to step into the therapy room, so I work to provide a disarming and open space for clients to share. My curiosity guides me as I get to know people for who they are and I enjoy helping clients learn to think, feel, and act in new, productive ways to become the people they want to be.
This group will include writing prompts and times for sharing, offering support, and receiving feedback. This is an open adult processing group for individuals age 18+. This group is ideal for those already working with an individual therapist and meets in person weekly.

Heartbreak is a "sucker punch" to the soul. It often feels like our hearts are tiny shards of shattered dreams spilled onto the floor. Too often we stay in heartbreak and grief because it hurts to accept the loss of love and the life we envisioned for our future. Happiness and joy are also part of living a vulnerable, authentic, full life and loving ourselves. If you are struggling to accept the loss of a loved one or a cherished relationship, I'd love to help you process and release your emotional pain, and start creating a life of joy, happiness, and abundance.

We all carry the weight of past experiences, and I’m here to guide you toward becoming the best version of yourself. Whether you’re struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, or addiction, there is a path forward. I know many have tried other therapies before, but my specialized training in Brainspotting has made a profound difference for my clients. Healing trauma can be challenging, but there is hope. Life is too precious to spend it feeling stuck, and you don’t have to go through it alone. If you’re ready to take the next step, reach out—I’m here to help.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy or DBT helps you learn how to accept yourself and your life as it is, while also figuring out how to change the things that aren’t working for you. It’s like a toolkit for dealing with tough emotions, situations, and relationships. I will be leading a 6-session group process that aims to help individuals with self-discovery, and a positive shift in emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. The sessions cover six essential modules: Intro to DBT, Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation, Interpersonal Effectiveness, and Wrap Up.

**Group is full. Email to be added to waitlist.** Whether in a romantic partnership, a parent-child relationship, a religious community, or workplace environment, women experiencing narcissistic dynamics in any form can be deeply traumatic. In the narcissistic family, the needs of the parent take precedence over the needs of the child, resulting in such personality traits as a lack of self-confidence, a chronic need to please, difficulty being assertive, and difficulty identifying her feelings, wants, and needs. Process group therapy can provide a safe space for individuals to explore their experiences, provide insights and create a foundation for healthier relationships in the future.

Individuals & couples working with me typically identify with the description of "Type A+." Many have succeeded despite painful experiences. They pour their hearts and full effort into their careers, relationships, and whatever responsibilities they take on. But they are often left wondering, "What's it all for?" or "Is this it?" They are often the fixers in their circles— but who does “the fixer” go to when they need help? That’s where I come in.

I consider it an honor to walk alongside my clients on their journey towards healing. My therapy approach is highly collaborative. I value the therapeutic relationship more than any technique or theory itself. Initiating counseling is often a big and difficult step and I do my best to help you feel relaxed, comfortable and welcome. I am passionate about working with clients experiencing loss and grief. Many presenting issues come down to a loss- loss of a loved one, loss of a pregnancy, loss of hopes/dreams, loss of a marriage...and working through loss requires time, connection and a safe place.
