Note: I have availability for Couple and Partnership Counseling clients and IFS consultation in 2025. What is holding you back from experiencing the harmony you are seeking in your relationships? We have parts that have served to protect us through times of stuck-ness, difficult life transitions, grief and loss, health experiences and pain, emotional injury, betrayal, and disconnection. Internal struggles might be keeping you from a full, authentic connection for you and your partner/s. I can guide you towards opportunities to deepen intimacy, resolve conflicts, repair, and feel more loved and understood- inside and out!
While I can support those experiencing many clinical needs given my extensive training and background, my areas of specialty include: Adolescent and adult trauma, Loss and transition, Addicted parts, Chronic illness and pain, Anxiety, and Psychedelic Prep/Integration. I primarily offer IFS, EMDR, and somatic support for individuals and couples/partnerships.
As a helper, I am humbled and grateful to have been on this healing journey with others since 2004 and would love to share with you ideas for increasing happiness and creativity, as well re-discovering direction and peace. I am certified and highly experienced with utilizing many research-supported interventions that truly can aid you in your next steps…
