I am a trauma informed therapist and use an integrative approach that incorporates Attachment Theory, EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Gottman Method, and Mindfulness.
Have you reached a point in life where it seems that something needs to change in order for you to be truly happy? Maybe you can't quite put your finger on it, or perhaps you thought you left it behind years ago. If you are living with depression, anxiety, unsatisfying relationships, addiction, or unresolved grief or trauma - there is hope and there is help. I strive to provide an honest, warm and collaborative environment so that you can feel safe embarking on your journey of self-exploration, healing and growth. This isn't easy work, but I truly believe that it is the most important work we can do for ourselves.

Inspired by mindfulness, somatic work, EMDR, and IFS, my approach is integrative, client-centered, and holistic.
It takes time to pick up the pieces. Parts of you may feel broken, paralyzed, and unheard. With intergenerational systems of dysfunction, very few of us grew up with anything approaching healthy relating. As mammals, we can use the natural force towards connection along with regulating our autonomic fitness to return to our joyful and intuitive self. I can help adults and teens create movement in the isolated "stuck places" and integrate unprocessed pain and suffering. I am passionate about serving children who also highly benefit from therapy by communicating their inner world through play.

My trainings and techniques that have shown to be very effective in these areas vary from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Prolonged Exposure, Interpersonal Family Systems, Attachment Theory, and Mindfulness.
I view counseling as an opportunity to partner with my clients on their journey towards positive change and achievement of emotional/mental health. In my practice I enjoy working with adults individually. I specialize in trauma treatment and engage Prolonged exposure which has successfully alleviated trauma symptoms for many of my clients. I also utilize interpersonal family systems, and attachment theory in order to help clients learn more about themselves than they ever have. We will create skills and process together, to alleviate any disrupting symptoms of depression and anxiety. I am offering in person and virtual sessions.

My approach to therapy combines attachment theory and mindfulness.
Balancing relationships, identity, and personal growth can be challenging, especially when juggling the demands of career, family, and personal well-being. My approach is rooted in Relational Life Therapy (RLT), drawing from the work of Terry Real to foster open, transformative conversations that create lasting change. Whether you're struggling with communication in your relationship, the pressures of parenthood, or finding a sense of balance in your life, I’m here to support both men and women in building deeper connections and a stronger sense of self.

My experience has been working with individuals with depression, low self-esteem, anger issues, anxiety, building on coping/ mindfulness strategies, the LGBTQIA+ community and addressing racial/cultural trauma.
To feel comfortable in our sessions, if you need to use a fidget toy, draw or choose to sit on a floor cushion instead of the sofa, I am happy to accommodate you. Everyone deserves a space to tell their story and reflect, which is what I can provide during our sessions together.

I'd call it "traditional talk therapy" with mindfulness.
Loss of jobs, relationships, chemical addiction, life transitions, trauma, abuse and the stress of day to day living come with an array of thoughts and emotions, which at some points in our lives can become overwhelming. We start to feel like nothing can get better, and began to self destruct or stay stuck, out of fear of the unknown or poor habits. My goal is to best assist and support people in living authentic, balanced lives; navigating increased self-awareness in social systems, past experiences, core beliefs and thoughts and their influence on our daily emotional states, behaviors and actions.

Mindfulness, breath, and visualization will help lessen depression and calm an anxious nervous system.
If you seek a safe, non-judgmental place to heal, unload your concerns, become less anxious, and learn effective ways to get your needs met I can help. Because one size does not fit all, I take an eclectic approach honoring your truth, individuality, sexual orientation, and belief system as it unfolds in context of life circumstances. If you want to improve interpersonal communication, have aha moments of self awareness to release thinking and emotional habits that no longer serve you, together we can craft a plan for you to be the best version of you! I am trauma informed, have experience with veterans, am experienced in EMDR.

I will use an integrated approach including CBT, DBT, ACT, and mindfulness to assist you in developing meaningful goals that align with your personal values.
Hi! I am currently accepting new clients. Have you ever felt like you wanted more out of life, but you weren’t sure where to start?

Waitlist for new clients
My heart will always be Client-Centered, relational, and mindfulness-based adapted to each client's needs.
(March 2025 - Hi! Waitlist for new clients. Thx!) - - - My time as a Therapist/Human has given me a chance to partner with a beautiful mixture of people and personalities. Folks who find benefit most working with me are often sensitive, brilliant, compassionate humans seeking a safe space to feel heard and supported. They often need some support to navigate where they feel confused, stuck, or overwhelmed in their lives. My approach tends to be that of an "Emotional Tour Guide," and I'd be happy to get to know you, share what I see, and offer some insight on what others have found healing on their paths.
