Waitlist for new clients
I specialize in mindfulness-based therapies and have worked with folks who've struggled with OCD, Anxiety, Grief and Loss, Depression, Emotional Dysregulation, School Avoidance and Relational/ Family Conflict.
Think of therapy like we're on a ship together. You're driving the ship and I'm the person with the map. My job is to stand next to you and orient us to what's happening as we find the path towards your goals. We will explore the currents, the weather, and any barriers that are keeping you from the life you want for yourself. Beyond where you'd like to be headed, in this therapeutic space- I invite you to come exactly as you are. There is no one to be and nothing to do outside of attending to the person that you are in this moment. I truly believe such presence is the prerequisite to all personal transformation.

Most clients arrive for therapy struggling with adjustment issues, mood regulation, substance use, or family dynamics issues. The goal is always to effect change that is permanent. When change is not possible, the focus shifts to better managing or coping with the struggles. This is accomplished by working collaboratively helping the clients move from where they are to where they need to be.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has a heart for empowering women to live joyfully inside their bodies through liberation-work and self-compassion. I approach therapy from a systemic, person-centered, feminist, sex-positive, and HAES lens that's rooted in social justice. I understand the ways that oppression and trauma influence how we connect with our bodies and I view coping mechanisms as survival strategies that develop in response to our experiences. I believe there is wisdom in our coping and I enjoy helping clients compassionately attune to their body’s needs and connect to their intuition.

I am well-versed in a number of therapy approaches, including internal family systems therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and trauma-informed care.
Folks I work with describe me as warm and nonjudgmental, yet assertive and highly engaged. Our work will be an active collaboration - while I will continuously strive to deeply understand your inner experience, I will also point out things in your behavior or thinking that you may not be aware of and offer potential explanations of your challenges as well as practical suggestions about achieving your goals. As you gain more understanding and compassion towards the anxious, depressed, angry, or hurting parts of yourself, you will feel increasingly more grounded and empowered to lead the life that you desire.

I offer a reflective and somatic-based experience utilizing trauma informed modalities such as Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems and Hakomi as well as alternative therapeutic approaches including Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy.
Healing is an intimate journey towards ever greater wholeness (acceptance, compassion, and integration of all parts of ourselves). I value the sacred opportunity to join alongside you. Therapy is a unique endeavor; one in which you the client and me as therapist collaborate to create a space for the unburdening of life’s stressors, of pain, grief, sorrow, and confusion as well as space to seek answers to existential questions about what gives life meaning; being witness to your growth as you unfurl, soften, and ultimately discover deeper compassion for self and others.

Free time is spent with my family or friends in a variety of ways.
Women and individuals who have experienced trauma often become my favorite clients due to their resilience and strength. Their unique perspectives, deep emotional intelligence, and willingness to confront challenges inspire me. Working with them allows for profound connections and meaningful growth. I admire their courage in facing adversity and their capacity for healing and transformation. Supporting them on their journey towards empowerment and self-discovery is both fulfilling and humbling.

I'm particularly passionate about supporting individuals in pregnancy/postpartum and new parents. The transition to parenthood is so unique and everyone deserves support.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
