I simply want to say, “I am here”. I am here to listen to your unique story. No matter the twist and turns your life takes, we can navigate this journey together. Allow me to be the compass to your treasure map! By going within we connect with our different Parts; The Critic, The Scared Child, or The Angry Teen. There we make peace with all Parts, allowing the opportunity to be seen and heard. This approach is called Internal Family Systems (IFS) and it allows a safe platform for all Parts and Self to interact and form healthy bonds. When unity is created, peace is found.

I am passionate about providing therapy for children, families, and adults who have experienced trauma, including abuse, neglect, sexual assault, and domestic violence. The clients who come to see me are often feeling angry, aggressive, depressed, or anxious. Parents who seek treatment for their children express feeling confused and frustrated by their child's behaviors, and don't know how to help. Adults who have experienced violent, controlling relationships with their partners can feel hopeless, worthless, and alone. When someone has experienced scary, overwhelming things, they can feel stuck and unsure how to move forward.

My approach to psychotherapy is highly relational. I believe that most of our distress in life, often in the form of anxiety, depression, or uncontrolled anger, arises from unresolved conflicts in our important relationships, past and present, and that psychotherapy works by providing a new relationship-a supportive, empathic one in a which person can explore these important interpersonal connections, come to understand them in new ways, and change them. I focus the dialogue on a person's significant relationships, past and current, and on the feelings that one has about oneself and the important people in one's life.

I utilize Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness strategies, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, EMDR, trauma focused, Attachment-based, Bereavement, and grief therapy.
Most people feel when something is wrong, we notice symptoms that we do not feel well or people close to us make a comment about our behavior. At times, people don’t even realize that there might be something behind those symptoms that is making me feel or react certain way. Sometimes we have been feeling this way for so long that we get used to it, we think “that’s who I am”, we lose hope and motivation because we don’t think things can be different, we don’t know where to start or if there’s anything that can be done or if anyone can understand or help. Taking those first steps to move out of our comfort zone can create fear.
