It can be tough to take the first step into therapy and I commend you for the courage it takes to get started. If you're feeling stuck or overwhelmed, reactive toward others, struggling to perform at your best, or having sleep issues - these are common signs of someone with unresolved stress or trauma. If you're looking for tools to help you truly change, achieving the life you know you’re capable of, we should talk.

I offer psychotherapy to people who feel drawn to explore and expand their self awareness and transform emotional confusion and suffering. I believe that it’s in relationship with others where we are harmed and it’s also in relationship with others where we can heal. The therapy relationship facilitates a healing conversation because it is a place of safety where you can begin to expand your ability to communicate, develop your capacity for self compassion, deepen your emotional understanding, and increase your self confidence.

Working from an integrative, client-centered approach, I seek to support individuals wherever they are on their journey and my approach is holistic, collaborative, and non-judgmental. I value cultural humility and look forward to working with people of all backgrounds, identities, and walks of life.

I use an eclectic approach at times and often utilize cognitive therapy, existential therapy, brief/solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness psychology.
Human beings are unique, complex, and possess the capacity for change. Although adversity and struggle can feel overwhelming, can make us feel lost or stuck, our essential selves are not lost and are not wholly defined by depression or angst or trauma or grief. Compassionate, respectful support provides a space to explore, discover, reclaim, change, heal, and grow.

Lifespan Integration, CIMBS, and mindfulness work ground my practice.
The human experience presents opportunities, obstacles and constant change. Oftentimes, the challenges we face feel overwhelming and prevent us from seeing the possibility for growth, while the pace of living interferes with our ability to stay focused on the present moment where creative possibility abides. The distractions we all use to keep us from pain do not serve us anymore, but we are left wondering how to live without them. Navigating challenge and finding new possibility are sometimes difficult to accomplish on our own.

With mindfulness we bring awareness to our present experience, the best we can, without judgment of how it is or expectation of how it's supposed to be.
PLEASE NOTE: MY PRACTICE IS CURRENTLY FULL. A mindfully collaborative approach to counseling begins with an affirming and compassionate therapist. In this way, I work with young adults and adults to develop confidence in processing and managing issues such as: chronic illness, trauma, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, relationships and life transitions. Together, we may work with mindfulness techniques, Life Span Integration and other narrative processes, cognitive-behavioral strategies and somatic techniques to help you to authentically reshape the story of how you perceive yourself, your experience and what is possible.

My therapeutic methods are grounded in evidenced-based practices such as: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness and EMDR.
Therapy is a collaborative process between the therapist and client. I approach the therapeutic process as a powerful opportunity for clients to cultivate change and deepen awareness in their lives. I create a compassionate and accepting therapeutic environment where clients can feel safe to explore opportunities for personal and interpersonal growth. I am especially sensitive to how oppression impacts mental health and identity.

I draw from multiple counseling approaches including mindfulness based cognitive behavioral therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD and other trauma-informed approaches, solution-focused, and existential therapy.
Positive change is possible when we are supported in identifying and harnessing strengths and building the capacity to understand ourselves more deeply and compassionately. Therapy begins with building a meaningful understanding of client experiences and goals and collaborating to build a beneficial approach. I have experience providing mental health counseling for a wide range of clients and presenting issues since 2012. In addition to individual treatment, I have completed Gottman level II training to provide evidenced-based couple's counseling.
