As a therapist, my goal is to bear compassionate, curious witness to your life story. It is such a privilege to hold space for you. In session, we’ll work collaboratively toward your goals, befriend Parts of your internal system, and move toward the transformational work of unburdening. I’m committed to therapeutic work that is client-centered, non-pathologizing, and culturally sensitive. All clients are welcome. I’m committed to anti-racism and supporting the LGBTQIA+ community. I’m neurodivergence and body affirming. I welcome clients of all faith backgrounds and walks of life. I often work with women and helping professionals.
I've been seeing clients since 2013 and became a Certified Internal Family Systems Clinician in 2020. IFS has been described as “what I hoped therapy would be” because it's genuinely compassionate and non-pathologizing. Instead of trying to force change, IFS facilitates organic transformation by connecting with thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a new way.
Why would you see a Marriage and Family Therapist for individual therapy? A common misperception is that LMFTs only work with couples and families. My training taught me to view people within the context of relationships, both past and present, internal and external, and this allows for deep inner work.

HSA plans allow flexibility to choose which clinician you want to work with, not just the providers paneled with your insurance. Though I bill BCBS on behalf of clients, I can provide a monthly superbill to clients seeking out-of-network benefits with other insurances. I accept private pay.

I use Internal Family Systems. In your first session, we'll do a general intake to get a lay of the land, so to speak. Then we'll explore doing insight work together where I'll guide you in a process of focusing inside to connect with thoughts, sensations and emotions with curiosity and compassion. Clients are often blown away by the power of this experiential process.
