Depending on your needs, I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems ( IFS), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
Relationships, pregnancy, and motherhood can bring incredible joy, but they can also bring anxiety, overwhelm, relationship stress, and feelings you never expected. Whether you're struggling with postpartum anxiety, postpartum depression, adjusting to motherhood, or feeling disconnected from your partner or yourself, you don't have to go through it alone.
Together, we'll create a safe place to understand what's happening, strengthen your relationships, and help you feel more grounded, confident, and like yourself again. My goal is to help you move from simply surviving to feeling more connected, present, and hopeful.

I work with outdoor athletes and outdoorsy individuals who are struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, disordered eating, and/or trauma. Many of my clients feel stuck in cycles of pressure, self-criticism, or trying to “get it right” with food, movement, or appearance while feeling disconnected from themselves. Therapy with me is a space to slow that down, step out of that pressure, and begin reconnecting with yourself in a more grounded and sustainable way. Rather than focusing only on symptom reduction, we get curious about what your patterns are protecting or responding to, and pull the weeds in the garden of you.

I specialize in supporting therapists, healing professionals, caregivers, and clients navigating burnout, perfectionism, compassion fatigue, and maladaptive behaviors rooted in shame.
Before becoming a therapist, I worked in the legal and human resources fields, where I witnessed and experienced the toll of high-pressure, workaholic, and perfectionistic standards. With over 25 years of professional experience — including the past 11 years as a clinician — I now offer a restorative, integrative space that gives you choices in the therapy room — to work with whatever feels right for you in the moment.

I am passionate to assist clients in their journey toward wholeness by utilizing evidence-based techniques including EMDR, IFS, Attachment and Family Systems.
I have significant experience working with child abuse and neglect, family of origin issues, self-esteem, infertility, and graduate and college student life transitions. My practice interweaves proven methods from family systems, attachment, EMDR, and experiential (art, psychodrama, etc.) therapies to create a healing environment and achieve goals.

I often use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for behavioral changes, IFS informed EMDR for trauma healing and Somatic therapies to help understand how the body responds to trauma.
I am so grateful you found me on your healing journey. This is an incredibly beautiful and complex time to be alive. It is easy for those of us who care deeply to become overwhelmed with all the suffering and chaos around us. If we want to heal the world, then we must first offer that same love to our own hearts. I feel passionate about helping heart centered women keep their beautiful hearts open for the pain of the world without shutting down. My work helps women heal their trauma, honor their own sacredness and find meaningful ways to honor and share their unique gifts in lasting and embodied ways.

I use an approach called IFS, in which we work to accept all parts of you as good and valid even when they are not always helpful.
I specialize in working with adolescents and young/college-aged adults, but I work with the entire life spectrum ages 15 and up. I offer counseling around trauma, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, stress and transitions, identity exploration, relationship challenges (with friends, family, romantic partners, and ourselves), and more.

I utilize EMDR, IFS, Mindfulness and other therapies that focus on finding the root cause of a person's struggles.
Most of my clients felt stuck when we met - they've read the books, learned the coping skills, practiced mindfulness, but still struggled in feeling safe navigating through the world. Trauma disrupts our ability to connect, either to ourselves or other people and we can need guidance and compassion to heal. My hope as your therapist is to be a safe place to explore yourself and to truly feel better.
I love working with individuals or couples impacted by trauma in any of it's forms, people with neurodiversity, especially those diagnosed as adults, and am deeply passionate about supporting my fellow folks in the LGBTQIA+ community.

Using EMDR, IFS, ACT, and trauma-informed therapy, I help clients work with the roots of distress rather than focusing only on symptom management.
I offer specialized trauma therapy for adults who are used to carrying responsibility, thinking deeply, and relying on competence to get through hard things. Many clients are insightful and self-aware, yet feel stuck in anxiety, shame, grief, dissociation, emotional overwhelm, or relational patterns that logic alone hasn’t been able to shift.

I use Gestalt, ACT and IFS primarily with emphasis on mindfulness and somatic awareness.
You’ve done the reading, you’ve been in therapy before, and you have high emotional intelligence—yet you’re still hitting the same relational or behavioral ceiling. You don’t need someone to just nod and validate you; you need a sharp, deeply attuned partner to help you map the undercurrents and shift the structure of your life. I work with high-functioning individuals, therapists, and couples who are ready to stop circling the problem and start directing real-time change.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists
What is Internal Family Systems therapy?
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a type of talk therapy that focuses on sub-personalities, or “families,” within a person, which may be made up of wounded parts and unpleasant emotions like anger and shame. These sub-personalities can come into conflict with each other and with an individual’s core Self, leaving the person feeling detached from positive traits such as the “8 C’s” of confidence, calmness, creativity, clarity, curiosity, courage, compassion, and connectedness. By healing a patient’s wounded parts, a therapist aims to restore balance and bring on positive change.
How does Internal Family Systems therapy work?
An IFS therapist will work with a patient to identify their particular sub-personalities, recognize the emotions powering them, and release them. By doing so, the patient should become more able to address any underlying problems their sub-personalities may have been trying to protect them from. Ultimately, a patient discovers ways to manage internal and external conflicts on their own, through techniques such as relaxation exercises, journaling, and making charts depicting the relationships between their core Self and their distinct parts.
Does Internal Family Systems therapy work?
IFS therapy has been shown to help people address conditions such as depression, anxiety, panic, fears and phobias, trauma, and substance use disorders. Some research has also found that it can help individuals deal with symptoms of physical health conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, such as pain, everyday functioning, depressive feelings, and low self-compassion. There are some conditions for which IFS treatment, specifically discussions of one’s “parts,” may be less appropriate, such as schizophrenia or other states that involve psychosis or paranoia.
How long does Internal Family Systems therapy take?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for IFS therapy. After becoming comfortable with a therapist and the core concepts of IFS, some patients quickly make progress. While experiences vary, most will find that it is a relatively longer-term therapy, involving months and sometimes years of sessions.
