I am a trained IFS therapist specializing in trauma and relationships. I am committed to creating a soft and authentic space for my clients to get to know their inner systems. I have a graduate degree in Social Work, and I am trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS). I have been engaged with IFS for over ten years, and it is the primary model I use for psychotherapeutic work. I have assisted as a staff member on four IFS trainings to help other therapists learn the model. I also trained in an oncology practice with patients and their families, so I have particular experience supporting people going through illness and physical pain.
I incorporate Internal Family Systems, attachment theory, and 12-step informed practice into my work. I have over thirteen years’ experience working with folks who have experienced codependency, substance use disorders, and process addictions, including relationship and sex addiction.
My approach is highly relational and trauma-informed. I specialize in working with sexual abuse, developmental trauma, and relationships, especially how early injuries can get stuck and show up in the present. I also have a background in literature and the arts, so I love working to help parts that may become blocked in the creative process.

I am trained in Internal Family Systems, and it is the primary model I use for psychotherapeutic work. Working with the IFS model allows folks to better understand and cultivate relationships with their inner systems and take those tools out of the therapy office and into daily life.
