I use somatic and attachment therapies, mindfulness techniques, family systems therapy, parts work and guided imagery.
Are anxiety and low self-worth regulars in your life? The process of recognizing old stories, beliefs, and patterns can be overwhelming. It can bring up confusion, fear and grief. Changing old ways, that once kept you safe, can feel ungrounding and chaotic. Shifting what you've been familiar and comfortable with is deeply challenging and takes a great deal of strength and vulnerability. I believe healing, growth and change are lifelong practices, and transformation requires time, space, patience and self-compassion. Therapy can offer a safe and caring relationship that supports you in doing this life changing work.

Are you tired of struggling to thrive in relationships with friends, family, and lovers? Are your emotions running your life? Interacting with others can be overwhelming when you have experienced trauma, grief, depression or anxiety. This can lead to coping through addictions or harmful behaviors. I believe we all have the capacity to change and that focusing on strengths can give clients a new outlook on life. Together, we can practice mindfulness, reflection, and positive coping skills. I collaborate with clients to build positive experiences in a caring therapeutic relationship through talking, playing (children), and art.

I’m here for you and your experience! I welcome your whole self, including the parts that hurt most, have been marginalized by dominant society, and are navigating change. You may be experiencing grief and loss around the death of a loved one, a memory loss diagnosis, the redefining of a role, grief over the climate, or a harm done to a family member. You may find yourself transitioning into caregiving, stepping away from work, or parenting - including grandparents who are returning to raise children. All of this may be resulting in exacerbated stress, depression, anxiety. I'm looking forward to supporting you.

I draw from a multitude of approaches based on what you best respond to and this can include Mindfulness, emotional regulation and interpersonal relationship skills, Interpersonal Nuerobiology (IPNB), and specific modalities from attachment and family systems theories.
My goal is to support the whole person in their desire to identify strengths, address their struggles, and to encourage growth. My relational approach includes helping create a safe place in which you feel like you can start the change process. Issues range from impulsivity, anxiety, emotional regulation, unhealthy coping tools, and difficulties working through trauma. I can assist this process with creating genuine connections to begin addressing emotional regulation tactics, stress reduction, psychoeducation of trauma and the brain, and cognitive restructuring.

As for my experience, my specialties are working with anxiety, relationship issues (peer, family, and intimate), and infertility.
Making the decision to seek therapy takes courage and finding the right therapist can seem overwhelming. Yes, it's important to find someone with the appropriate credentials and experience, but it's also just as important that you feel comfortable with your therapist. If the match is right, you should feel heard, understood, and respected. I understand the importance of the relationship between a therapist and client, thus I seek to create a safe, trusting, and welcoming environment. I approach therapy from a place of acceptance and non-judgment because I truly want to learn about you, your concerns, and your goals.

I blend several different approaches in my work to help process trauma and unwind distressing patterns, including EMDR, somatic work, mindfulness, and internal family systems/parts work.
I work primarily with individuals in their late teens, 20s, and 30s (early adulthood/quarterlife) who are struggling to find their own unique path in life. I tend to be a good fit for those who: • Are feeling overwhelmed or dehumanized by modern life • Were raised in growth-limiting environments (judgmental family/religious systems, abusive/controlling parenting styles) • Were parentified as children • Are struggling with shame or anxiety • Have unresolved trauma • Are feeling confusion about what they want from their lives • Have more than one cultural identity • Are looking to feel more whole and live a more authentic existence

I bring 10 years of experience as a family systems therapist to my work, and have extensive training in models of individual and family therapy.
I love working with adolescents, adult individuals, and families. I enjoy helping teens and families navigate the changes of adolescence, while working to engage parents around their teenager's change process. While adolescence can challenge families, it's also a developmental phase filled with exciting and inspiring change. My work with adults often focuses on relationship issues, anxiety, stress management, and issues related to emotional expression. I work well with adults who are motivated to change behavior, and are wanting some extra help. My clients appreciate my grounded presence, and my strengths-based approach.
