Currently accepting NEW clients! I believe that you are already capable of change and I guide you through stepping into it. I specialize in anxiety and relationships. Much of my work has been in treating anxious individuals who struggle with worry, self-doubt, and "analysis paralysis". I can help you recognize what is interfering with your daily life, relationships and overall well-being and adopt healthier belief systems. I am also especially passionate about helping couples recognize the "stuck points" in their communication patterns and replace them with with vulnerability, closeness, and connection.

I work with individuals and couples utilizing Internal Family Systems and Gottman methods.
Anxiety, grief, anger, love - Let’s talk about it. Many of us feel exhausted trying to manage, reason with, numb, or shame how me feel. And if we have a partner, we feel overwhelmed trying to understand ourselves AND someone else. This leads to communication flops and a loss of intimacy. Rather than seeing you as “one messed up mind,” I see you as having many different parts. For both individuals and couples, I help you find peace by getting to know all those parts. In practice this looks like a combination of practical, everyday changes an deep inner work.

My primary modalities include EMDR therapy, motivational interviewing, somatic experiencing, embodiment practices, polyvagal theory, and Internal Family Systems/Parts Work.
If you are hoping to improve your relationship with your mind and body but haven't found a therapist who really validates your experience, it's giving trauma and I want to help! I am an EMDR-trained clinical social worker and I consider trauma to be a universal lived experience. I understand the role of somatic experiencing as integral to adaptation and change. As a lover of strength sports, I specialize in sports performance and use EMDR therapy to help you clear mental blocks and adapt after injury. I love working with clients who identify as queer, chronically ill and neurodivergent, including ADHD and autism.

Although I employ an eclectic mix of counseling theories, I lean toward family systems using the genogram as the foundational guide.
We live such hectic and often overwhelming lives that counseling provides us the opportunity to check out, even if only for a moment. Granting individuals a listening ear and a compassionate empathetic response is my specialty. My ultimate goal is to build healthy individuals and families by developing the therapeutic tool box filled with practices that bring calm to chaos. We must look to our foundation and past experiences in order to create a plan for healing and future success. With that, much of our work will involve delving deep into Family of Origin issues in order to create healthy new norms and patterns.

My family systems background makes me well suited to help with all matters of inter-relational family & couples issues in addition to those transitional adjustments faced by twenty-somethings & singles.
"I prefer to think of my patients and myself as fellow travelers, a term that abolishes distinctions between 'them' (the afflicted) and 'us' (the healers). ... We are all in this together, and there is no therapist and no person immune to the inherent tragedies of existence." (Borrowed from Dr. Irvin Yalom). My practice makes possible the important work of self-evolution & growth in part due to my eclectic approach & focus on the unique matters of every individual. My lived experiences have greatly influenced my desire to partner with my fellow travelers as we do our 'work' and to do so intentionally and mindfully.

I incorporate different interventions from cognitive behavioral therapy, polyvagal theory, and internal family systems.
Are you a young adult dealing primarily with anxiety and life transition issues? This could be a recent college graduate starting their first big job, a major transition. I like walking beside them through these transitions and being an additional support. I also like helping people learn breathing techniques to manage anxiety and learn about polyvagal theory and a bottom-up approach. I enjoy working with clients who can articulate their goals, such as managing anxiety better and working on anxiety in different settings.

Swearing is allowed! I utilize talk therapy, EMDR, somatic work, and Internal Family Systems (IFS).
I work with women who struggle with blended high/low self esteem. To the outside world, we are successful and have our shit together. Except we are masters at hiding pain. Inside, we have a black hole filled with guilt, shame, and feeling unworthy. We feel stress managing family, life, career, relationships, and don't feel good enough. We carry trauma in our bodies and it shows up in our daily life. From a young age, we learned self betrayal was pivotal to be worthy of love and to feel good enough. We didn't have a voice. My focus is repairing the damage due to past experiences and how it’s created a critical view to our own self.

Family Systems Therapists
Family Systems therapists view problems within the family as the result not of particular members' behaviors, but of the family's group dynamic. The family is seen as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs and patterns. The therapist helps each individual member understand how their childhood family operated, their role in that system, and how that experience has shaped their role in the current family.
