I believe that many of our patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving make sense given our context and experiences. I encourage clients to explore both their past and present in order to better understand which patterns work for them and which they’d like to adjust. By collaborating with clients, I help them to identify their strengths and build new skills and insights for managing life’s stressors. I also incorporate mindfulness and movement practices based on client need and interest.

Your thoughts about food and wanting to change your body feel constant. Binge eating by the end of the night may feel inevitable. You continually compare your body to others and to the times when you were thinner. You have high expectations for yourself but feel like it's never good enough or that you are failing. Family members may be expressing concern for your well being, or maybe they have no idea how much you are struggling. Issues with binge eating, body hate, bulimia, or anorexia can feel like they're taking over your life.

Therapy is a time that's about YOU! It's a non-judgmental space where you can explore issues that you may have identified or you're not quite sure why you feel stuck. You might be dealing with anxiety, depression, childhood trauma, ancestral trauma, or other things you just can't seem to resolve. You might have difficulty with personal boundaries or be experiencing repeated relationship conflicts. If you could have a regular place to address the things that burden you, imagine how different life could be?

I am IFS informed, trained in Brainspotting and EFFT.
Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage. Truth and courage aren't always comfortable, but they're never weakness. ― Brené Brown. I believe that we are all oriented toward connection and belonging. To allow for this, many of us have brilliantly adapted to cope with life's traumas and hardships. From our relationships with food and our bodies to how we participate in relationships with others, I believe in a compassionate and deeply curious approach to rediscovering ourselves. What would it look like to truly know ourselves and to be known?

I honor the full spectrum of our humanness through: mindful self-compassion, trauma-sensitive yoga, mindfulness, Brainspotting, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (Trauma-Focused & Inference-Based), Polyvagal & Neuro-psychoeducation, Somatics, and Forest Therapy.
If it feels overwhelming to name your feelings and say what you need, I'll meet you there and we'll do it together. We'll get clear on what's going well and what might be standing in the way of deeper connections. We'll explore whether past hurts are showing up as present-day symptoms and impacting how you care for yourself and others. Your system has a way of communicating its needs, and sometimes, instead of listening, we push parts of ourselves away or go into protection mode. We'll discover how to turn towards our needs in a compassionate way and strengthen self-advocacy around your very human needs, rights, and boundaries.

My clinical practice is informed by psychotherapy, DBT, crisis intervention, Brainspotting, and mindfulness approaches.
My professional journey as a therapist has been informed by trauma and the cycles we find ourselves within generationally, within our lifetime, and how we see them live out in relationships. I focus on assisting with acknowledging what you have navigated on your journey thus far and how these events and experiences have shaped you into the current version of yourself. This process is client led to assist clients with a natural balance of processing that isn’t difficult or jolting to your nervous system. My goal is to let your body and mind help lead us on the healing journey that makes sense to you.
