Specializing in trauma of all kinds, I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC), Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist (LCAS), Certified Advanced Integrative Therapy (AIT) Practitioner, and have a Masters Degree in Art Therapy.
Even the most self-aware humans can experience periods of confusion, stuckness, and destabilization, and oftentimes suffering has unconscious roots. I've dedicated my training and education as a helping professional to learn how to unlock messages from the unconscious to promote healing and well-being. I also strive to arm my clients with concrete tools to use independently, long after our work together is completed. I have many years of experience helping people heal, blending a variety of nontraditional and expressive therapeutic approaches with evidence-based interventions to meet the individual needs of the people I serve.

Are you stuck? Are you unsure of how talking alone is going to change your experience of anxiety, depression, or other patterns in your life? Many of us would do anything to get that continuous voice in our head to be quiet. And, many of us are walking around with traumas that we've had for years. These experiences are part of life; however, at times, can become overpowering. I offer integrative techniques designed to help you reprocess, release, and reinvent parts of you that are struggling. I have years of experience working with grief. I also specialize in working with other therapists and caregiving professionals.

I've been a therapist for over 19 years and feel uniquely suited to serve clients of all ages. I spent 10 years as a therapist for middle schoolers. Since 2015, I've been a therapeutic consultant helping families find treatment options for their adolescents and young adults. I've helped couples become more aligned and families develop their skills. In my work, I often hold someone's anxiety, foster their accountability process, and reflect insights from my perspective. I enjoy walking alongside my clients as they celebrate transitions, develop skills, and lead a value-driven life.

People start to heal the moment they have the honest experience of being seen, heard and understood for who they are, in that moment. People’s whole systems calm down the moment they experience genuine connection with another human being who sees them as they are, and honors their ultimate goal of achieving dignity and integrity. When you enter into my space, you experience this for your healing.

Each person comes to therapy for honest reasons. As we live, we often get overwhelmed, stuck, we suffer, and lose ourselves/others. Through cultural conditioning, we have forgotten to see the sacred in grief and honor what was. I get to join with others to help dissolve what is blocking them from their innate wisdom to know selves and connect with others. When I work with helping couples repair, I get to come alongside each person to help them not feel alone in their experience. I am an experienced relationship therapist (and work in progress). I enjoy helping people become more securely attached and live according to their values.

I believe that clarity regarding who you are, what you believe, and why you believe it are among the greatest predictors a good and joyful life. I also know that a "joyful life" can sound absurd when you're struggling with depression and anxiety. My clients and I talk about their ideals and underlying beliefs as context for their struggles. Together we examine the presumptions and expectations that--when left unchecked--lead to so much heartache. We work together to create a narrative of what could and might be instead, along with a solid plan for how to bring new realities into being.

Integrative Therapists

What is integrative therapy?

Integrative therapy is a type of therapy that combines ideas and techniques from different therapeutic approaches depending on the needs of the individual client. By merging elements of different treatments, an integrative therapist aims to offer a more flexible approach than those who practice just one type of therapy.

How does integrative therapy work?

Integrative therapy approaches a client’s mental, physical, and emotional health in a holistic way to discover the sources of their unhealthy behavior patterns or other challenges and considers the approach most likely to lead to improvement. Among the techniques an integrative therapist may practice are cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, EMDR, mindfulness, art or music therapy, psychodynamic therapy, breathwork, family systems therapy, gestalt therapy, and trauma-informed therapy. An integrative therapist regularly evaluates the client’s progress and is prepared to pivot to a different approach if progress stalls.

How long does integrative therapy last?

As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for integrative therapy; people who find they are making progress typically continue until they feel they’ve addressed the issues that spurred them to seek treatment. New patients should understand that it may take some time for a therapist to land on a treatment approach that best meets their needs, but once they do, they should expect sessions to extend for a number of months, typically including at least 12 sessions.

How effective is integrative therapy?

There are hundreds of types of talk therapy, and research shows that while they vary in form, goals, and frequency, many if not all can produce similarly successful outcomes. But a single approach does not always deliver the greatest, or speediest, benefit, and so even therapists primarily trained in one model will use tools, language, techniques, or exercises from others to shape an effective treatment plan.
