Have you thought, "I hate this, but I can't stop, get unstuck, or change." Or, "Why do I react this way? This is not who I want to be!" Or, "Oh, my god, it doesn't matter what I do, nothing ever changes." Perhaps you deal with anxiety, anger, fear, insecurity, grief, sadness, or maybe other big emotions and reactions that are incongruent with the situation. It may seem that no one sees or understands you. I see you. I know how hard you're trying and how badly you'd like to be different. I'd be honored to walk beside you on your journey. Should you extend me an invitation to join you, we will begin with your story.
I blend Internal Family Systems, Polyvagal Theory, and EMDR with insights from other counseling theories, ensuring our approach is scientifically grounded & tailored to you. I specialize in helping people process and heal life's traumas. Let’s collaborate to create a path forward that aligns with your goals, and fosters your wellbeing and growth.
I have journeyed alongside teachers, pastors/clergy, tradespeople, lawyers, college students, C-level executives, stay-at-home moms, retirees, and middle managers. You will find me to be a warm, non-judgmental, funny, and fully human therapist. I look forward to meeting you.

I use parts work & EMDR, while pulling from other counseling theories as needed. I bet you already use parts language daily. Do you ever think, "part of me is angry & another part of me feels for them." Parts work uncovers conflicting emotions, thoughts, & desires, while EMDR lowers the intensity of overwhelming feelings and negative beliefs, helping you apply your wisdom across all areas of life.
