Internal Family Systems (IFS) is an excellent approach for individuals with trauma history, eating disorders and anxiety/ depression.
If you have not had much success so far with therapy and feel that the suggestions have not helped to shift things in your life, I may be a good fit for you. I can help you explore what is contributing to your feeling stuck and overwhelmed and move beyond it towards real healing. I work with children, teens, parents, adults and families. Being a parent myself, I can often bridge gaps between children and parents.

Imagine feeling lighter, more confident, more self-supportive and more self-loving. I've helped hundreds of clients achieve this, many starting from a place of despair and incredible anxiety.

I also love working with children and teens.

I can offer ART (accelerated resolution therapy, a more condensed form of EMDR) for PTSD reduction; psychodynamic approaches (inner child work) to heal past childhood wounds; CBT and DBT strategies for reducing anxiety and depression; and journaling and art therapies for life changes.
Very often the clients I work with are individuals seeking to heal childhood trauma. I also work with clients struggling with codependency issues in relationships with spouses, friends and family. I've been a caregiver to a spouse with cancer and a mother with Alzheimer's so I can support you in caregiving. I can also be an added support to clients who are already in recovery doing 12 step work. And I often work with clients experiencing life transitions.
