I offer therapy services to any and all individuals seeking support and healing in their lives. Many clients seek out counseling when things in their lives seem out of control or they feel unheard. They want to speak to someone who is unbiased, honest, and who has empathy for their situation. I also have groups available for anger management, parenting, and domestic violence. I also provide assessments and evaluations for family law, criminal, and dependency cases as a separate service.

Infertility, pregnancy loss and unwanted childlessness impact every part of our lives. Relationships with others, finances, connection to our bodies, dreams for the future - nothing is untouched by this journey. I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist Associate, and I am passionate about walking alongside anyone within the infertility and loss community. As a member of this community myself, I am dedicated to holding space for all the complex emotions infertility and loss bring. I use a mix of Narrative therapy, DBT, (and sometimes humor) to foster resilience and hope for the future.

My therapeutic philosophy is rooted in the existential belief that the intentionality of care or wishing someone well is foundational for any therapeutic relationship. I strive to create an inclusive, affirming, and trauma-informed therapeutic space grounded in unconditional positive regard, allowing clients to access their innate wisdom, resilience, and insight on their journey towards healing and recovery. I approach eating recovery from a HAES-informed perspective (Health at Every Size) and through partnering with other treating professionals such as dietitians, nutritionists, and PCPs as needed.

We all get stuck & that's simply part of being imperfectly human. There are times in life when we need someone to walk beside us as we navigate new paths into healthier relationships. Relationships with ourselves and others. Intentionally cultivating new patterns of interaction and deconstruction patterns that no longer serve us. I act as a choreographer of conversations, aimed to explore emotional connections & attachment injuries and impasses. As humans, we have a biological need to feel seen to be safe, secure & connected in our relationships. I work collaboratively with clients creating safety, change & a new path forward.

Remember the saying," Two heads are better than one?" I believe counseling should be collaborative. Both counselor and client bring knowledge and experience to the table. Together we can go over what strategies have not worked and implement new ones. Many life problems are complex, having biological, psychological, and/or social factors, but all are spiritually implicated in some way. My Christ-centered approach emphasizes Biblical renewing of the mind and spiritual growth, in addition to practical, proven strategies to help you overcome. I will support and care for you, strive to restore hope, and walk with you on your journey!

I see the fact that you are here looking for a therapist as immensely brave. I honor your courage. I genuinely love people. My personal experiences with childhood trauma, family relationships, religion, and the sciences have granted me opportunities to empathize with and understand a diverse range of emotional, mental, and relational issues and to apply effective treatment methods for my clients. I am aware that my privilege and life opportunities require me to be intentional about providing a safe space for my clients, especially those who have experienced marginalization and societal oppression and I consistently strive to do so.

As a systemic therapist, I am dedicated to guiding individuals, couples, and families through their inner complexities, fostering healing, growth, and self-discovery.

This dynamic model identifies and works with inner subpersonalities, promoting self-compassion and self-acceptance. I tailor this approach to individual needs, incorporating additional methods when necessary, fostering transformative change at personal and relational levels.
