I primarily utilize CBT, DBT, and Bowen Intergenerational Family Systems Theory in my clinical work.
I typically work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, phase of life issues, difficulties in decision-making, mood disorders, and bereavement. I also enjoy working with clients who are seeking self-actualization or perhaps want a space to process their feelings and fine-tune their mental health.

My style: A balance of light-hearted humor + direct challenge • Interactive, intuitive, & insightful • Resourced by practical skills, tools, & materials to learn from • Trauma-informed & grounded • Rooted in Internal Family Systems & somatics • Tailored to you.
How you feel towards yourself can profoundly impact your relationships, work, school, and more. And a lot can make it hard to feel your best. You might be: Exhausted by a relentless self-critical voice...Considering your next steps to feel authentically aligned with your gender and sexuality...Struggling with boundaries and people-pleasing... Stressed and stuck in your closest relationships...Curious about non-monogamy but unsure where to start...Looking for nonjudgmental guidance navigating dynamics within polyamory and kink — not to mention managing all of this under capitalism. No wonder you'd like support!

In my therapeutic practice, I seek to truly understand and validate my clients’ experiences. No two people or life experiences are the same and by continuously remaining curious about my clients’ experiences, it’s amazing how far back we can uncover unhealed trauma, history and patterns. I often approach therapy through a Family Systems perspective, which allows us to dig beyond the self and analyze how our family of origin, relationships and/or intergenerational patterns influence how we have come to understand the world and our behaviors. I also utilize evidenced interventions based on CBT, DBT, and more.

I also utilize evidenced interventions based on CBT, DBT, and more.
My methods are based on a foundation of human behavior and family systems that address issues of trauma, culture, cycles of violence, substance use, co-occurring disorders and addiction within family systems.
Are you or your child struggling with anxiety, depression, or behavioral issues? Have you found yourself feeling stuck or unable to create change? Therapy can help you cope with these challenges and set you up for future success. I find a positive and trusting client-therapist relationship to be the most essential component of the therapeutic process and place an emphasis on creating a safe and non-judgmental space for effective reflection and growth. Incorporating humanistic, mindfulness, and strengths-based approaches, I work with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, oppositional defiance, high-risk behavior, and family dynamics.

My integrative approach combines: Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Attachment-Based Trauma Therapy.
Do past hurts haunt your interpersonal relationships? Childhood trauma can feel like a monster best kept hidden away in the dark. Out of sight, out of mind - until it's triggered again. As Carl Jung said, "what you resist not only persists, but will grow in size." Through this lens, I offer a compassionate and integrative approach to healing the deep wounds of relational trauma. Collaboratively, as a therapeutic team, we cultivate and create a safe space for acknowledging and nourishing the inner child, establishing self-worth, building self-esteem and developing skills for managing complex relationships with self and other.

I utilize a client centered approach and incorporate family systems as well as cognitive behavioral therapy to help my clients better understand themselves.
I find that I work well with clients who have had relational trauma that affects their current relationships with themselves and others. This can often present in the form of negative self-talk and self-esteem, perfectionism, persistent feelings of guilt and shame, anxiety, and depression. I have ample experience working specifically with those who have a history of abuse from a partner, friend, or family member, adult children of narcissistic parents, LGBTQIA+, religious trauma, those deconstructing religion, exvangelical.

As an integrative therapist, I tailor my approach to each client's unique needs, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Family Systems, and Interpersonal Therapy.
I enjoy working collaboratively with my clients, helping each to develop the specific and unique tools necessary to cultivate a more satisfying and fulfilling life. My approach is to first actively listen, gaining a thorough understanding of the history of the situation and symptoms, the presenting challenges, and any other influences such as family history, cultural or racial factors, chronic illness, and economic stressors. We will then work together to identify treatment goals and ways to reach them. I work with a broad spectrum of clients ranging in age from 16 and above, offering individual, couples, and family therapy.
