The people who choose to work with me often want something more than traditional talk therapy. People come to me who are experiencing challenges in relationships with themselves and others. This includes struggling in the relationship to being in your own body. I combined talk therapy with a number of mindfulness and somatic based modalities to meet you where you are and explore together what healing can look like. I work with individuals and couples or other relationship configurations. I also offer psychedelic integration integration therapy.

Many of my clients are strong, capable individuals who still find themselves struggling. They may have trouble expressing their emotions, which affects decision-making, asserting their needs, or setting healthy boundaries. This often leads to feeling disconnected—from themselves, their relationships, and the world around them. Some think their problems aren’t "big enough" to ask for help and feel guilty about seeking support, while others believe they should be able to handle everything on their own. Does this resonate with you?

I always begin with careful listening to your needs. Our relationship, and your understanding of yourself, are the keystones. These are much more important than the labels which have been placed on your problem. You may have already received "good advice" from friends and family. A trained and caring professional can help move you beyond the cycles you are stuck in. This is true whether you are seeking couple's counseling or individual therapy. My primary therapeutic perspective is Internal Family Systems (IFS), which is not about external family, but rather your internal family of parts.

I have over twenty years experience and serve a broad spectrum of clients. I see myself as very interactive. I provide support, and practical feedback to help clients effectively address personal life challenges. I help clients to confront interpersonal patterns, that were often developed early in life as self-protective, but now get in the way of their connections with self and others. I work with couples to help stop the blaming/shaming cycles that can develop from feeling misunderstood.

I believe that our moments of greatest struggle can also hold the most potential for growth and self-discovery. By giving ourselves a supportive space to explore the places that feel painful or stuck, we open ourselves to a wealth of information about our deepest desires, strengths, and wisdom. This makes it possible to live with greater self-compassion, freedom in our actions, and ease in our relationships. Whether you are navigating a significant life transition, suffering from anxiety, depression, or trauma, I am dedicated to providing a safe and respectful space to embark on this journey.

Don't know which way to turn? I'm convinced that part of you DOES know. If you're depressed, anxious, frustrated, confused, or in emotional pain, I will sit with you in that place with love until you hear your own inner wisdom guide you. I will help you access that knowledge through focusing your attention on your emotional body, listening to your unique story, and in many other ways holding a mirror up to YOU. We'll look at unhelpful mental habits you've picked up to survive in this world, and figure out what would work better.

I believe that the answers are here within us, and real change is possible when we have real support and guidance. As a therapist, I approach my work with radical acceptance and deep respect for the unique and ingenious resilience that each person possesses. Through collaborative processes of self-exploration and compassionate self-awareness, clients are able to heal past wounds, move toward what they care about, and experience more connectedness, fulfillment, wellbeing, and joy. My current orientation and training is primarily focused on Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), a mindful and embodied approach to healing.
