If you are hoping to feel more peace within yourself, you're in the right place. I support folks in feeling more resourced, grounded and connected through a body-based approach that is centered in Internal Family Systems therapy. IFS allows us to work with our internal world instead of against, and creates space to nurture the parts of us that truly need it. My approach honors the whole you, you are encouraged to show up as you are, and will be met with compassion. I include nervous system support to foster embodiment, growth and integration.

The outcome of therapy cannot be guaranteed, but honesty will increase the likelihood of having a successful experience.

My goal in counseling is to help you identify the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that prevent you from achieving your goals. My approach is grounded in cognitive theory. I teach you strategies and interventions used in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). Cognitive Behavior Therapy is the most researched of all the psychotherapies and has demonstrated effectiveness. Additionally, I am a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor and can work with you on issues pertaining to employment and career. The sessions are interactive and collaborative. I will help you identify how your thinking impacts your emotional health and behavior.

I work with all age groups in individual, couples, and family therapy.

My particular areas of specialty are working with adolescents, couples, and adult women. Modalities often used in my sessions include CBT, ARC, Attachment Theory, ACT, FFT, and Gottman Methods.

As a therapist, my priority is to foster a therapeutic environment that feels warm, compassionate, and is uniquely tailored to each person. I care deeply about using a genuine, non-judgmental approach as I support you in navigating complex emotions, challenging relationships and moments of uncertainty. Therapy can be a transformative experience when given the right support. You will experience newfound resilience, self-acceptance, and meaningful insights.

Does the concept of therapy scare you? I get it. Therapy is challenging, therapy can be scary, therapy can feel vulnerable...but therapy can also be healing, cathartic, freeing, and well...beautiful. My goal as a therapist is to provide my clients with a safe, comforting, and nonjudgmental space where you can be yourself as this is where the work can truly be done. During our sessions, I listen to your story, which helps me get to know you as a person rather than just a "patient". I also help my clients reflect on patterns that no longer serve them while drawing from their strengths and resiliency to make everlasting changes.

My perspective is one of hope and compassion for the struggles in life that we all face as human beings.

When we experience trauma we are often flooded with overwhelming emotions, body sensations, and memories. I work with clients to cultivate awareness around identifying the patterns our bodies and minds engage in based on our past experiences. Once we can identify the patterns we can encourage change.

Together we can begin to understand how trauma shows up for you and work to reprocess trauma and sit with challenging emotions
