I treat traumatic stress & depression/anxiety via your self-awareness & openness to your own form of spirituality.

In sessions, we will look at navigating your relationships & stressors, befriending your emotions & inner parts, being present to your trauma-response behaviors, owning your power, and aligning with your personal integrity. We may utilize upsets/triggers & experiences as fodder for you to choose peace of mind, joy & appropriate accountability.

I like to use Gottman’s Relationship Method, Emotion Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Intergenerational Therapy, Solution Focused and Trauma-Informed Approaches.
Is your relationship suffering from ongoing issues? Does it seem to be getting worse? Family conflict? Has your child begun to act out behaviorally? Issues with trust? Infidelity? Issues with communication? Lack of overall satisfaction? Has it gotten to the point where you've considered breaking things off with your partner? Ending a friendship? Cutting off a family member? Pause for a moment...and consider this...what would be different in your life if the issues within your relationship were no longer a major concern? How would the quality of your life be impacted?

I help people through difficulties related to divorce, death of a loved one, relationships, transitions, trauma and PTSD.
I partner with my clients to reduce anxiety, depression, stress, and malaise, while also building strengths and adaptation strategies. To do this, we usually 1) explore any straightforward or creative ways to alter life circumstances that contribute to the malaise, and 2) identify, then make and implement a plan to reduce any self-limiting thoughts, beliefs, assumptions, and doubts that contribute to my clients' distress. While this sounds abstract and difficult, I am informal in my approach and we often have a good time getting where we're going!

I want to help empower you to be your best self. Sometimes we reach a point in life where we feel stuck and we ask ourselves if healing is possible. As humans, we can struggle when we carry unresolved trauma or stress, which can cause us to hold onto negative beliefs. These beliefs impact the way we see ourselves, others, and the world. I want to help you heal and grow from your past experiences, so that you can feel empowered and able to trust yourself to reach your potential.

My first ten years as a psychotherapist were spent in New Orleans, where I worked, in part, to provide support and healing to members of a community ravaged by the traumas of Hurricane Katrina and the BP Oil Spill.

I collaborate with my clients to manage their symptoms, transform the effects of trauma and grief, address creatively relationship issues, career changes and artistic blocks, and engender personal growth.

My clients often want to gain deep insights into themselves and use these insights to see shifts such as greater self-compassion, less anxiety, and more fulfillment and authenticity. Whether processing trauma or difficult relationships, navigating their sexual identity (queer, non-monogamous, kinky, etc.), or working through everyday struggles, my clients seek an understanding, informed, and non-judgmental place that can help them truly get to know themselves.

Prior to processing difficult emotions or trauma, we will work together on building a positive therapeutic relationship.
My practice focuses on maternal mental health and trauma. I’m passionate about providing support to new moms, experienced moms, and healing through a pregnancy loss. During prenatal, postpartum, and beyond, mixed feelings can show up at any given time and it can feel isolating, even if you’re surrounded by others. It’s ok to not feel ok. Reaching out for support is a wonderful act of courage and strength.
