I utilize several modalities including somatic/body work, DBT, CBT, MI and other solution focused approaches.
I believe that recovery is a process which requires active, continuous involvement from the client, the therapist, and the entire treatment team. According to this belief, the four stages of recovery are hope, empowerment, self-responsibility, and establishing a meaningful role in life. The individual most responsible for a successful treatment outcome is you (the client). With your consistent effort and willingness to engage with your therapist the kind of change you are hoping for can and will occur.

I use evidence-based practices, including Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Reflective Listening, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and somatic processing therapies such as Hakomi, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and EMDR for trauma and attachment repair.
I work with people who are open to making changes to meet life's challenges. I see people experiencing relational trauma, grief, and loss, who are in the midst of life transitions. I prefer to work with adults, including elders, and teenagers. I practice person to person therapy. I believe that each of us has the capacity to heal and that we can be helped to use our inner resources and strengthen the relationships we have with others and with ourselves. I respect and honor all spiritual orientations and religious practice. I have experience with members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Beginning your journey in therapy can be difficult and overwhelming…perhaps even a little scary. It takes a lot of courage to be vulnerable and explore some of the most difficult aspects of your life. That’s why it is so important to find someone who you can trust. I believe life is not just made up of one- but many journeys and the experiences along the way. I enjoy working with individuals who have a multitude of different experiences, cultures, and backgrounds. These experiences help me to incorporate the most important aspects of your identity to ensure your treatment is in alignment with your core beliefs and values.

I am committed to empowering women by facilitating healing from trauma, unhealthy relationship dynamics, and perfectionism. For far too long, women's wisdom and brilliance has been suppressed, to the great harm of all. I believe that when women are free to express their truths, nurture themselves and their loved ones, and create lives of meaning, all in their orbit benefit and experience healing. I support women in owning their emotions, taking up space, claiming their desires, and evolving into their next level of success.

We'll work from multiple points of view—depth-oriented and solution focused—in order to best support your process of healing, self-development, radical acceptance, and growth.
By addressing troubling thoughts and feelings, self-sabotaging behaviors, and traumas, life can be made more manageable, productive, and fulfilling. Feelings such as grief, shame, anxiety, sadness, and anger often signal that something needs to change. Listening to and working with these feelings—some that consume us and others that gently nudge us—can move us forward. Through this, we sometimes discover that our everyday dilemmas are part of larger patterns waiting to be resolved as a whole.

There are four clinicians in this group practice. My personal approach has been described as more practical and holistic as I believe we do our best given the circumstances. I believe we are our own experts but we sometimes need some extra support to get through difficult times or unstick ourselves emotionally. For me, therapy is a collaborative process that unfolds via conversation. I go where you go and ask lots of questions along the way. My areas of interest include anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions, pain management, brain functioning, trauma, and other life experiences.

I suppose every client is the "ideal" in the sense that each person brings a unique story worthy of dignity, grace, and respect. By the time a person walks into my office, he/she is usually exhausted, confused, empty, and/or feeling hopeless and alone. Not all, but many of the folks I see want to be known, understood, and accepted. Most believe the lie that "if people really knew me, what I think about, what I've done, or what's been done to me, they would not love me, accept me or want me their lives." I enjoy helping people experience the freedom grace can give and the hope it has to offer.
