We’ve all lost our way at some point in life, whether due to a traumatic event, relationship issues, or difficult life transitions. In facing these challenges, I believe it is possible for you step into your most authentic self. Fundamental to my work is the belief that healing happens in the context of healthy and reciprocal relationships, whether that is relationship with yourself, others around you, and/or your environment. I am committed to creating a therapeutic space that centers consent, agency, and autonomy where all identities and experiences are welcome.

The original roots of psychotherapy stem from tending to the soul and over time this truth has been forgotten. In collaboration, we will develop a space that honors your roots and all your experiences. Climate anxiety and climate grief are also realities today that we are all trying to navigate. Exploring and cultivating a path that illuminates all of your gifts, and strengths while seeding new ideas and opportunities. Our root system is like our belief system understanding your truth becomes the consciousness - light that allows new growth to emerge.

Growing up today is not easy, especially when connections and relationships are challenging. Communication can get complicated and even messy sometimes. Using compassionate curiousity, I work with others to identify strength based approaches, to support areas of challenge, sometimes using animals, plants, & eco therapy. Finding and protecting our peace is important work in our lives. I offer creative strategies to support balance, learn healthy choices and let go of what doesn't serve you. I'm grateful to share over 20 years of experience with you while holding the space for us to identify “the next right thing” for you together .

I have experience working with adults in recovery from substance use. I have found a deep affinity with the recovery community and feel honored to do that work. I also have years of experience working with youth in different capacities. My thesis in grad school focused on the intersection between Neurodiversity and LGBTQIA+ identities and how this intersection can inform a framework of Belonging as embodied praxis.

Issues might include: emotional regulation, physical aggression, anxiety, tantrums, potty training, sleeping in their own bed at night, and following directions. Typical diagnoses include ADHD or ADD, anxiety, autism, and Oppositional Defiant Disorder. I also work with clients of all ages who have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). My goal is to use the most effective therapeutic approach that is maximally efficient.

Life is forever changing. We look for purpose, a passion + a sense of belonging. Difficulties arise and suffering is inevitable. Adapting or accepting circumstances is a process. Therapy offers a space to talk, consider options, acknowledge pain + find new perspective. The slightest shift of the mind can inspire hope, with this, possibility emerges.

I am fully certified in two evidence based therapies1) EMDR or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and 2) IFS or Internal Family Systems Therapy. In a very SAFE manner, they can be VERY effective. I emphasize the word SAFE because NOTHING is ever discussed unless YOU are comfortable discussing it. You're "the boss" as to what we cover/discuss in therapy.
