I connect with systemic and mind-body approaches to healing like Internal Family Systems, EMDR, and Narrative Therapy.
You notice the constant noise between your ears telling you to meet the needs of others, and obsess about how you are perceived by others. You read the books and listen to the podcasts, but you feel like you are the outlier, as everyone else seems to have things figured out, while you continue to struggle with anxiety, how you feel in your body, and with your story. You feel out of control in your life—with your relationship with yourself and with others—and are tired of feeling like you are reacting to the world around you. You are ready to respond differently and create a new way of living.

I use Internal Family Systems, Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, Developmental Couples Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Brain Research, and Mindfulness techniques; and my goal for you is to learn how to open to your own self-compassion and deep insights into your life and be who you most authentically are.
Worry, Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Anger, Depression and Confusion make life feel overwhelming and out of control. I can help you find out what's going on with your relationships and to name your deeper truth and find new ways to work through issues that come up. I believe life challenges us to grow, and feeling stuck, struggling with emotions or communication, or feeling out of sync creates the desire to improve and grow. So, whether you feel confused, anxious, sad, fearful, or angry in your life and your relationships, I can teach you the tools needed so you can find out what it's like to live your most authentic life.

I also apply art and play therapy techniques with children and adults. Often I will give homework assignments and offer reading resources. I am trained in the use of EMDR and use EMDR techniques and processes.

I am a person-centered, holistically trained counselor who works primarily with the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model of therapy.
The journey of life is a complex and challenging one to navigate. We are not given a roadmap to help us find our way. And there are times when having someone journey alongside us, as we examine ourselves and aspects of our life, is of great benefit. I imagine that is what you are seeking and applaud you on taking this brave first step. My belief is that you are closer to navigating the complexity of YOU than you may think. It might be challenging to see in the moment due to challenges or symptoms you may be experiencing. You already possess everything you need to heal from the past and navigate the present.

I find that EMDR and Internal Family Systems, when used together, can lead to quicker symptom resolution than using traditional talk therapy alone.
Congratulations for having the courage to search for help navigating your emotional life. I am a licensed clinical social worker who works with a variety of clients dealing with emotional and relational challenges. Some are dealing with anxiety and depression that they don't completely understand. Others are having relationship problems with a significant other or family members. Many of the clients I work with have addiction issues which serve to temporarily cover up the pain or emptiness they are feeling. Talking to someone can help you get perspective and feel empowered to deal with overwhelming problems and emotions.

Family Systems Therapists
Family Systems therapists view problems within the family as the result not of particular members' behaviors, but of the family's group dynamic. The family is seen as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs and patterns. The therapist helps each individual member understand how their childhood family operated, their role in that system, and how that experience has shaped their role in the current family.
