From one high-achiving, super-independent professional to another, I know that reaching out for help may not be your favorite thing to do. I'm intentional in making therapy convenient and easy to fit in your busy life. By visiting our website you can easily find a time to speak with our intake coordinator, and she will help you schedule your 3-hour "trial therapy" session today. I work with clients who are deeply committed to understanding and resolving their challenges. My therapy approach invites to exploring the underlying factors within your internal world that contribute significantly to your distress.
My intention is that every session leaves you feeling supported and empowered to navigate your journey towards healing.

I work from a trauma/IFS-informed model, which allows me to adapt the psychotherapy to your unique needs. During your first session, I'll help you to transition from a state of self-rejection to a curious engagement; from confusion to clarity about those apparently conflicting emotions and thoughts. All aspects of your internal world are welcomed so that you can start your journey of true healing.
