Does it feel like your inner critic has been getting its way for far too long? It’s always berating you, saying: “Nothing you do is ever good enough, of course they’re never pleased with you”... “There isn’t even much going on right now, why are you so overwhelmed?”... “You knew waiting until the last second would suck, why do you have to waste so much time making everything perfect?”... Intuitively, you know the Critic is separate from who you are, but it gets so loud and persistent sometimes that your self-esteem can’t help but take a hit. You’ve succumbed to feeling guilty, anxious, and small, and don’t know how to feel better.

I believe there is a time in everyone's life where one feels uncertain or in need of assistance to gain understanding of oneself. If you are seeking therapy you may be experiencing a variety of symptoms or searching for better understanding of yourself or a partner. I work toward identifying the root of problems to maximize potential and build on strengths within you. I view my role as a guide to support and assist in your journey of self-discovery. I honor the uniqueness and integrity of every individual, offering a safe and nonjudgmental environment.

I currently have openings for individuals and couples impacted by trauma, anxiety, neurodivergence, bipolar and schizophrenia spectrum disorders, and/or substance use. I prioritize intakes for members of the LGBTQIA+ community who are seeking a safe space to process trauma and explore identity. Trauma, anxiety, and the pressure of meeting societal expectations can impact every area of our lives. Left unaddressed, these impacts may leave us feeling exhausted, shameful, and hopeless. In our work together, you can expect a safe, nonjudgmental space to unpack, address, and develop skills to better manage these stressors.

If you’ve done therapy before and feel like you’re ready to go deeper—beyond just talking and thinking things through—you might be looking for a different approach. I focus on integrating somatic practices with trauma-informed therapy helping you connect the dots between what you’re feeling emotionally and how it’s showing up physically in your everyday life. Together, we’ll explore ways to move through and release what’s been holding you back.

My passion is helping people to create and live their best life.

Do you ever feel like talking isn't enough? I’m trained in clinical hypnosis, ego state therapy (a parts work modality), accelerated resolution therapy (ART), somatic healing, and breathwork. All of these are somatic approaches that allow you to get in touch with your innate wisdom, and to heal from a bottom-up approach. I am very person-centered, and like to help clients identify an intention for each session.

“I just want to understand!” “Make it make sense!” Do these sound like things you might say about…you? Or about your child? Our brains are powerful, both in all they can solve and in just how much they can hide. I find therapy is a satisfying way to dig into the mind, burrow past what's known, and revel in those “Whoa, I’ve never said that out loud before” moments. It is often that dissonance between what we consciously think and what we unconsciously hide that generates the symptoms we so badly want explained. If we can expand our definition of what "makes sense", then we make room to respect the ways we've learned to get by.

I'm one of the best therapist you will ever find. My work goes deep into your subconscious. It is about unlearning and undoing. I give you no solutions and help you to find it for yourself. It will be very painful. It will be liberating.

I strongly believe that people don't come to therapy because something is "wrong with them." They come to therapy because the way they cope with the world is no longer effective. I do not change people. I expand their ability to handle life's problems. I specialize in an integrative approach to treating a variety of mental disorders. Having an Integrative approach means an all-encompassing approach utilizing psychotherapy techniques, along with dietary evaluations, an lifestyle changes. The ideal client will be ready for change and willing to work on themselves both in and out of session.
