I utilize EMDR, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and solution-focused brief therapy.
Do you wish you felt more confident and had better relationships? Does fear or anxiety hold you back? Most of us feel lonely, isolated, insecure, ashamed and misunderstood at times, which keeps us from enjoying peace of mind and accomplishing our goals. If you are tired of living this way, therapy can help you tackle the things that are keeping you from a satisfying life. I believe in empowering, validating, and offering therapeutic support to my clients so that they can move forward and see change.

I offer somatic, experiential, and mindfulness-based approaches from my extensive (and ongoing) training in: Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (SPI), trauma-informed yoga (CYT), and nearly a decade of neo-shamanic apprenticeship & facilitation.
As a deep-feeler, seeker, highly-sensitive person (HSP) or adult child of emotionally immature parents, I'm sure you're not new to the world of therapy and personal development. You're not just looking for any therapist or modality, you're looking for the RIGHT person and process that can help you to discover previously unknown truths about yourself, process developmental & attachment wounds, shift inherited relational patterns, and accelerate your personal development and spiritual growth.

You're not just looking for any therapist or modality, you're looking for the RIGHT person and process that can help you to discover previously unknown truths about yourself, process developmental & attachment wounds, shift inherited relational patterns, and accelerate your personal development and spiritual growth.
I combine aspects from different theoretical perspectives such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care.
“I feel like I’m not good enough.” “I don’t know how to deal with experiences from my past.” “I am unhappy in my relationship.” “My child is withdrawn and struggling in school.” If this speaks to you, I’m here to help. It is normal to struggle with emotions or experiences in life, but they don’t have to define you. We can build the necessary tools and skills to overcome the obstacles you face. I work with children, teens, and adults to overcome trauma, self-esteem difficulties, and enhance emotional regulation.

I operate using an integrative approach to counseling, meaning I utilize different techniques including cognitive behavioral therapy, multi-systemic therapy, feminist theories, mindfulness, motivational and other interventions.
As a therapist, my focus is on empowering children and adults, and helping them achieve long-lasting change. I have worked with people from various communities and populations, and I understand that each individual has their own unique set of challenges and goals. I believe that everyone has the ability to thrive, and I am committed to helping my clients tap into their strengths. A strength-based approach can allow for the opportunity to identify successes, reestablish healthy patterns and learn new ways to deal with everyday life. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment for clients to share.

Some of the methods I use frequently are mindfulness based cognitive behavioral therapy, self-compassion/ compassion, gestalt therapy and other body centered approaches.
We can't always control what life brings our way, but we can choose how we respond to it. I enjoy helping people reconnect with their natural wisdom in the midst of life's challenges. My goal is to help my clients gain awareness of what is already working in their lives and what patterns and habits have become outdated or self-defeating. A situation, problem or symptom that appears unworkable or overwhelming can offer the key to its own healing when held with gentle, inquisitive attention.

Everyone has times in their life when they feel stuck, indecisive, and deeply troubled. Engaging in therapy can help you find answers, find peace, and happiness. In my work with clients I implement a strength-based approach and a strong belief that change is possible, that challenges can be addressed and resolved, and even used for personal growth. I view my role as a therapist is to guide and empower individuals to tap into their own hidden wisdom and limitless potential.

Approaches I use include person-centered, psychodynamic, trauma-focused, and mindfulness.
I believe that we all have important stories to tell. Sharing those impactful stories while working through the emotions and self beliefs tied to them can bring clarity, ease, and a sense of understanding. In my practice, I vow to hold a space of warmth, empathy, and unconditional acceptance for my clients to allow their stories and vulnerabilities to be heard and nurtured. I enjoy working with individuals who want to build awareness of patterns that they feel stuck in; and together, we will explore avenues of change.

I use a blend of mindfulness, somatic processing, talk therapy and parts informed work.
Welcome! Finding a therapist can be a vulnerable and challenging task, I’m glad you're here. I work with folks hoping to create new patterns, behaviors, and grow deeper connections with themselves. Are you someone who overthinks, analyzes, or is constantly stuck in your head? Have you been told in the past that you are “too sensitive” or things are “not that big of a deal”? Perhaps you have felt misunderstood or invalidated by those around you, causing you to isolate or retreat to your thoughts. If you're struggling with a harsh inner critic and seeking to move towards more self compassion, we may be a good fit.

I help teens and adults from all backgrounds reconnect with their true self after experiencing childhood trauma. Childhood trauma can have a profound impact on how we perceive ourselves and the world around us, often laying the foundation for anxiety and low self-esteem later in life. Many of the clients I work with experience anxiety which manifests as perfectionism, social anxiety, overthinking, difficulty relaxing, negative self-talk, and a constant feeling of being on edge. My therapeutic approach is gentle and compassionate, combining relational and narrative therapy, mindfulness, humanistic principles, and inner child work.

Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists
How does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy work?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy originated in the work of John Kabat-Zinn of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He developed mindfulness-based stress reduction, which is a technique found in yoga and meditation. MBCT is a combination of this type of stress reduction and cognitive behavioral therapy; it essentially quiets emotional distress through mindfulness, utilizing proper breathing and meditation. These techniques aim to bring the individual into the present moment when in a state of distress.
When do I know if I need treatment with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
If an individual’s mind is filled with emotional distress and general negativity, the person may feel trapped. A mindfulness-based cognitive therapist can help a person change their thinking patterns as well as their behavior through calm acceptance and compassion. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.
What should I expect from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
This therapy often takes place in group sessions. A therapist will work with the group as well as with each individual. Meditation and breathing exercises are core practices that aim to invite inquiry and discovery into a person’s troubled mental state. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviors and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more realistic way. This therapy is supportive, accepting, and warm.
Is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy effective?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with major depressive disorder have benefitted from this type of therapy; the person accepts their distressed thoughts and also moves into healthier patterns of thinking. This therapy also aims to move an individual away from automatic negative responses. This type of therapy can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioral habits.
