Hope of healing is at the heart of my work. There are many who have come to believe feeling numb, disconnected, and incredibly lonely is normal. You do not have to live this way. Anxieties and sorrows can spiral into feelings of helplessness, leading to self-isolation, suffering, and uncertainty about how to find support. I am passionate about facilitating time and space for awareness of all that makes you who you are. As a Level One trained IFS (Internal Family Systems) practitioner, I strive to help you access and embrace the inner parts of you, guiding you back to love of Self through understanding and healing.

I specialize in helping people respond more effectively to painful feelings, bothersome worry, and upsetting memories. The frantic feeling of anxiety, emotional roller coaster of relationship stress, or sadness of depression don't have to be part of your life forever. Sometimes even our best efforts to fix things miss the mark and leave us stuck in a rut. While harsh thoughts and tough feelings may seem like they have a grip on your life, therapy can often help reduce your struggle, refocus on what's most meaningful to you, and develop a healthier relationship with yourself and others.

Trying to figure out the next step can be overwhelming and lonely when we feel stuck. Whether we are trying to navigate relationships, personal and religious beliefs, or sexual/gender orientation- it can be hard! I truly believe you are the expert of your life, and believe the answers are within you. Sometimes we may know where we want to get to but feel the next steps to getting there are unsteady, unfamiliar or not even visible at the moment. Having a place to be able to emotionally process and break down realistic and meaningful steps can help to find clarity and find coping strategies that fit for you.

Are you feeling unsettled? Do the relationships around you feel difficult to navigate? Maybe the relationship you have with yourself or your body is hurtful. I can help you find confidence and clarity as you navigate the transitions of life > divorce, spousal betrayal, death of a loved one, midlife. Have hope. Healing wounds from the past and evolving through change will bring you meaning, purpose and strength.

We’ve all experienced varying degrees of pain or trauma in our lives. Sometimes that pain, sadness or fear becomes debilitating and we find it difficult to function. You may know what is causing your distress (loss of job, end of a relationship, family problems) or you might have no idea why you’re struggling. Either way you may be feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, anxious, worried, angry or even confused. Things that have helped you in the past may no longer be working. That’s a good sign that you need some new coping skills and improved insight.

For me it comes down to living POWERFULLY by accepting full responsibility for our lives. In that comes freedom. Freedom from addiction and compulsion. Freedom from self hate. Freedom from toxic relationships. Freedom to "respond" rather than "react". Freedom to live in accordance with our OWN values such that, at the end of the day, we're good with ourselves. I'm inspired by such COURAGE on a regular basis. We've all got "stuff". At some point, the question is, "what're we gonna DO about it?" It's a great privilege to do this work. Note: I am not in a position to provide crisis services.

I focus my trauma-informed care on supporting people as they seek to heal from trauma and/or grief as well as learning to see the greatness within themselves. Along with the tools and skills we practice together, you will also gain deeper understanding from education, setting meaningful goals, and developing positive core beliefs.

I evaluate children, teens, & adults with questions of ADHD, autism, learning disabilities, and related emotional dysregulation and problems in functioning. Families can experience major frustration in finding interventions that are individualized to people’s unique needs: going through years of therapy and not feeling any better; getting conflicting feedback from other clinicians; having several diagnoses that don’t seem to align with what you’re going through; treatments that don’t seem to get you to your goals. Having a clear diagnosis is key in establishing a treatment plan and supporting interventions that are a good fit.

I believe we all can live a life full of joy, meaning, and intimacy. I also know that sometimes life presents us with challenges that get in the way and leave us feeling diconnected and out of balance. I specialize in helping adolescents, adults, couples and families work through their challenges in a relaxed and safe therapeutic environment, where you feel accepted and heard.

Being a human being is hard. Everyone could benefit from a place to be unashamedly, unabashedly themselves, struggles and all. I am a warm, compassionate therapist who truly believes in the healing power of the therapeutic relationship. Above all else, I am a human being who experiences joy and suffering just like everybody else. I'm passionate about utilizing evidence-based techniques (such as DBT, CBT, and ACT) combined with my own humanity to help others reach their goals.

Developing resilience in the face of adversity is the focus of my clinical practice. This is informed by research based interventions. Child and Adult therapy is available, including treatment for neurodivergent children and adults. Anxiety, OCD and Tourette are areas of advanced training. Therapy is an active process, with between session goals designed to maximize treatment.

You are the expert! Come discover or rediscover the joy in your life. A good therapist can help present tools and support to use throughout life's many challenges. I work with children/teens, adults and families. I specialize in developmental disabilities, school problems, anxiety, family dynamics and general wellness.

My therapeutic approach is customized to your needs in the moment and prioritizes making you feel seen, heard, and empowered. I'm here to support you in learning how to better approach yourself with love and care, to be more connected in your mind and body, and to better understand and embody your authentic self. I believe that healing happens when we feel safely supported by others and have a deeper understanding of our minds and bodies.

A bird sitting on a tree is never afraid of the branch breaking, because their trust is not on the branch but their ability to fly. -Author Unknown. There will be times the branch breaks out from underneath you: anxiety, depression, addiction, ruminative thoughts, grief, trauma, loss of relationships, or loss of enjoyment of life. These can make one feel as though they are in a free fall. Psychotherapy can help. Mindfulness and DBT skills can help you believe in yourself and restore trust in your ability to fly.

As a queer trans person, I am passionate about LGBTQIA+ individuals receiving affirming therapy that empowers them to find a community who will support and celebrate all aspects of their identities. I am neurodivergent and enjoy working with autistic clients. I'm polyamory and kink positive.

I strongly believe that the foundation to healing happens through acquiring the ability to become grounded and centered. This is key in our getting on the other side of our anxiety, shame, depression, or whatever our personal struggles may be. I am certified in EMDR and find the approach effective as it allows the element of choice and the availability of insight not often found in traditional therapeutic approaches. I am a strong believer in the client therapist relationship as being key to success in therapy. I offer virtual sessions via Wellnite's platform; register here: https://www.wellnite.co/practice/register/655b6cfe83dc

Life throws all kinds of challenges at us. Some are happening now, and some happened in the past but have not been resolved. Whether you are walking away from an abusive situation, coming to terms with your identity, or working through childhood trauma, you could use a guide. You may be facing the death of a loved one, or grieving other losses. Maybe you are struggling with emotions that feel out of control, but you don't know why. Or, after a positive change in your life, like becoming a parent or finding a healthy partner, you find yourself unhappy. When life becomes too painful or you're just plain stuck, therapy can help.

I love working with clients who are going through life transitions and maneuvering through change, whether that change is having children leave the home, relational, heading to college, coming out or faith transitions, to list a few. I hope to provide an environment that facilitates compassion and healing during these times. I strive to assist in this process through discovering and challenging patterns and beliefs about ourselves that may no longer serve the purpose they once did. I listen, I observe and reflect back to you. I also offer some limited life coaching.
