Maybe you’re exhausted from shrinking yourself, your desire, your body, your sexuality, your identity, to make others more comfortable. You might be navigating sexuality, gender, kink/BDSM, non-monogamy, desire, intimacy, or a complicated relationship with your body. Maybe trauma, religion, sexual shame, relational wounds, or years of self-abandonment have cut you off from pleasure and authenticity. I work with people who are ready for more than coping or symptom management; you want liberation, self-understanding, embodied pleasure, honest communication, and relationships and sexuality that actually feel like yours.

Welcome! I am deeply passionate about helping people become who they are.

The sudden loss of a loved one can feel like an unrelenting storm, leaving you submerged in grief, loneliness, and confusion. Days blend together in a haze of sadness, nights stretch long, and memories replay without pause. Even with support from friends or family, the emptiness can feel isolating. You feel stuck in the ache of loss, questioning why life turned out this way, struggling to make sense of your pain. I know this journey firsthand. I have been widowed twice and walked through the loss of both husbands while raising my children. I understand the depth of grief and the challenge of moving forward when life feels upended.

What could your life look like six months from now if you took a step toward healing today? Often, the hardest part is just starting. Depression, anxiety, grief, shame, and a number of other treatable concerns can leave you in a hopeless place. Are friends/family at a loss of how to help you? Are you struggling with a recent change in your life? Do you feel alone? If you remember nothing else, I want you to remember that you are more capable than you believe, and even a speck of hope is still hope.

“I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in.”

Traditional talk therapy isn't a fit for everyone. If you're in search of a more balanced and fulfilling life, and have faced challenges with therapy before, my experiential, nature-based approach could be the solution. My specialties are anxiety and trauma, although I am well-versed in a wide range of issues (see list below).

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists
What is Internal Family Systems therapy?
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a type of talk therapy that focuses on sub-personalities, or “families,” within a person, which may be made up of wounded parts and unpleasant emotions like anger and shame. These sub-personalities can come into conflict with each other and with an individual’s core Self, leaving the person feeling detached from positive traits such as the “8 C’s” of confidence, calmness, creativity, clarity, curiosity, courage, compassion, and connectedness. By healing a patient’s wounded parts, a therapist aims to restore balance and bring on positive change.
How does Internal Family Systems therapy work?
An IFS therapist will work with a patient to identify their particular sub-personalities, recognize the emotions powering them, and release them. By doing so, the patient should become more able to address any underlying problems their sub-personalities may have been trying to protect them from. Ultimately, a patient discovers ways to manage internal and external conflicts on their own, through techniques such as relaxation exercises, journaling, and making charts depicting the relationships between their core Self and their distinct parts.
Does Internal Family Systems therapy work?
IFS therapy has been shown to help people address conditions such as depression, anxiety, panic, fears and phobias, trauma, and substance use disorders. Some research has also found that it can help individuals deal with symptoms of physical health conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, such as pain, everyday functioning, depressive feelings, and low self-compassion. There are some conditions for which IFS treatment, specifically discussions of one’s “parts,” may be less appropriate, such as schizophrenia or other states that involve psychosis or paranoia.
How long does Internal Family Systems therapy take?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for IFS therapy. After becoming comfortable with a therapist and the core concepts of IFS, some patients quickly make progress. While experiences vary, most will find that it is a relatively longer-term therapy, involving months and sometimes years of sessions.
