"Courage doesn't happen when you have all the answers. It happens when you are ready to face the questions you've been avoiding your whole life." I love this quote by Shannon L Alder. It takes such courage to reach out to someone, to recognize that you desire growth and healing. Know that when you reach out to me, you will be met with compassion, support, and a safe place to look inside yourself. We can face shame, sadness, fear, anger, trauma, eating issues, body image struggles, and other issues... and together, we will build on your strength, resilience, and deep capacity for healing. Together, we will find hope and healing.

I believe that every person has the capacity to change, heal wounds, and experience new levels of wholeness. Therapy can be a catalyst for growth; a place to be fully seen, known, and equipped. I work with women in transition, whether you're navigating college, career, marriage, or motherhood, as well as all the other "less shiny" changes. We'll work together to create sustainable rhythms for mind-body-spirit wellness. Your goals take center stage. I offer a somatics-based+EMDR integration of treatment in which we grow resiliency, expand your capacity for presence, and strengthen nervous system regulation.

I truly care about my clients and will provide a confidential, empathic, and non-judgmental environment. My ideal client might be in distress and simply in need of relief or someone who wants to investigate themselves and grow through the process. My ideal client might not be sure if therapy will help. I would try a variety of strategies to show you that it can. I have had challenges in life and I have received help from many people along the way. I believe that we should receive help when we need it and help others when we are able to do so. I look forward to collaborating in our work together!

Working to resolve anxiety and trauma, especially "stacked trauma". I have a variety of approaches which are frequently useful to people who have had recent or early traumas. Anxiety is a normal reaction to abnormal experience. Our work focuses on bringing up the harmful event, processing it, and laying it to rest.

I am a psychologist with over 25 years of experience helping others to navigate life's journey. I offer a judgment-free environment to overcome life's challenges and provide a haven for self-discovery. Through this process, my clients have recognized their ability to heal and gain a greater insight into self-empowerment. I specialize in overcoming trauma, parts therapy (IFS), relationships, anxiety, depression, and more with individuals/couples in coordination with their PCP when needed. I have found that how we perceive ourselves is our reality, and, together, we can expand that perspective.

Have you/your child experienced trauma or adversity that has led to depression, anxiety, self harm, low self-worth, and interpersonal difficulties? You may believe you are "broken" or "unworthy"? You are not alone. Healing and change is always possible. As a DBT, EMDR, and integrative medicine practitioner, I have years of clinical experience helping teens and adults in the psychiatric inpatient and outpatient settings. And, it can be scary to take the first steps and believe your life will get better. In our work together, the goal is to provide you with skills to help be more compassionate and mindful on this path to healing.

I believe we have the innate ability to live in pure bliss and peacefulness even if we have had traumatic histories or we currently are experiencing something painful in our lives. I did not always believe pure bliss was possible and used to subscribe to the pathological view of mental health which I was taught in school. But what I’ve learned through my years of experience, both as a client and a therapist, is that if we look for pathology we see pathology and people will never truly reach their full potential.

With mindfulness- and compassion-based therapy, I support clients through grief & loss, relationship issues, healing from trauma, and searching for meaning & purpose. So many of the issues that bring people to therapy are natural responses to the challenges we face as human beings. Through the process of therapy, we bring curiosity and compassion to our inner experience; and in the safety of a non-judgmental space, we explore options for understanding and growth.
