I focus on the integration of body-mind-spirit for whole-person recovery. Our goal is to align mental, physical, and spiritual values so that life is manageable, productive, and optimistic. In my years of practice and continuing education, what I value most is the uniqueness of each person and the trust they instill in me to join them in their journey.

People come to treatment for a variety of reasons.I view each person as unique and strive to assist individuals to overcome challenges and meet the goals that are important in their lives. As we work to let go of behaviors, thoughts and feelings that are not useful in the present, new healthier patterns can emerge and be adopted. Treatment is always focused on achieving a greater sense of comfort and satisfaction, psychologically, emotionally physically and spiritually.

Finding a therapist who will understand and hold space for your unique process can be hard. I want to make that process as easy as possible. Here is some information about what I do, but please feel free to call or email me if you have any additional questions. I see a wide range of clients working through many different concerns. I specialize in trauma and grief (grief when you lose someone, the grief after life changes without your consent, grief when you realize a relationship will never be what you'd hoped, and other forms of grief.) Here, you will have the opportunity for body, mind, and spirit healing in one space, if desired.

Are you feeling overwhelmed or overworked? Are you taking on the emotions or wellbeing of others and ending up exhausted? Do you have trouble connecting to your feelings? Even when you do, it’s hard to pinpoint what they are? If you’re feeling depleted from working hard, keeping everything together, then this is the perfect time to change the relationship with yourself and others. This might mean addressing traumatic and/or distressing experiences, working through grief, exploring relational and attachment difficulties, or managing anxiety or depressive symptoms differently.

People decide to start therapy for a variety of reasons - depression and anxiety, ending of a relationship, a major life transition or self discovery, just to name a few. Whatever your personal reasons are to begin therapy, I believe that the process of therapy along with the therapeutic relationship serve as the vehicle to help you reach your goals. Based on your unique needs, we create a therapy treatment plan together. By creating a safe and non-judgmental space, I then work with you in a collaborative manner to help you identify your feelings, thoughts, and behaviors and discover how these three influence each other.

Therapy is a space for us to work together in exploration, growth, and play. I value curiosity and building a trusting & collaborative relationship between therapist and client where you are treated as the expert of your own experience! I strive to support people through identifying the ways trauma manifests in their bodies, the impact of relationships and systems on their identities, and the connections between past and present. I have experience working with children, adolescents and adults around issues of identity, life transitions, trauma, anxiety, gender and sexuality, body image and relationship challenges.

I work with adults (18-65) who are struggling with trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, acute stress, substance use, and challenges with interpersonal relationships, major life transitions, coming out, gender, and queer identity development. I use EMDR therapy and client-centered, mindfulness-based, cognitive-behavioral interventions to support people in healing from traumatic experiences and unresolved grief by helping them reprocess disturbing, burdensome memories so that they become less intrusive, distracting, and painful.
