I believe that aspects unique to each family system (i.e., attachment, multigenerational processes, cultural/spiritual beliefs) are some of the key indicators of an individual’s personal life experience and the development of their identity. All of these things contribute to the way that we interact and connect with others, which makes relationships complex, and sometimes difficult to navigate. My areas of focus include perinatal mental health related issues, attachment injury repair, and navigating phase of life transitions.

Since practicing for 22+ years, I am trained in many best practice modalities: IFS, EMDR, DBT, ACT, EFT, Gottman Method, Sex therapy, Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy & others.
Your ability to seek out resources amidst the pain is a magnificent part of you, and I want to speak to that part. It is important that you remember that growth and healing is not about fixing what is “wrong” with you because you are not broken. Instead of fixing, our time together will be an exploration of all parts of you, one of curiosity and compassion, designed to unearth and liberate the wisdom that already exists inside of you. Going to therapy doesn’t mean that you can’t handle life’s challenges on our own. Rather, it’s a gift that you give yourself to stay mentally and emotionally fit.

I aim to take an authentic approach to counseling – I’ll show my full personality and want you to do the same! I use lots of curiosity and collaborative exploration, leaning on ACT, EFT, Feminist Therapy, Reality Therapy, parts work, DBT, and somatics.
Hello! I am passionate about empowering my clients to live their most authentic lives. I believe that we all have intuition that helps each of us define our unique values & priorities but that external pressures, social norms, lack of confidence, and trauma often lead us away from that intuition. In therapy, we can work together to rediscover that intuition, build confidence, and pursue goals that help you create the life you desire. I am empathetic, unconditionally accepting, & open, and I believe vulnerability, humor, and compassionate confrontation are all part of a strong therapeutic alliance!

I am trained in a number of modalities but primarily use Deep Brain Reorienting, EMDR with Structural Dissociation theory, Mindfulness, Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills and Emotionally Focused Therapy ( EFT).
Therapy provides a unique opportunity to develop a safe and supportive relationship to assist in creating meaningful change. After years of training and practice I have come to realize that this change must involve a deeper healing. As human beings we experience challenges throughout our lives that can feel overwhelming and often traumatic. Without the support, skills or resources in these times we end up needing to develop short term coping strategies that may be causing long term problems. I specialize in working with adult professionals struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, guilt/shame, trauma and/or relationship difficulties.
