I practice from an insight-oriented, family systems perspective and have a special interest in working with those who have complex medical conditions.
Creating change requires courage and therapy can be a good place to help figure it out. I have a small clinical practice and am deeply committed to working with people who want and need to explore how to walk bravely in this crazy world. I offer individual and family psychotherapy for those who struggle with disordered eating, anxiety, depression and trauma. My style is direct with frequent use of stories, analogies and humor.

I am trained in Somatic Experiencing and Internal Family Systems models, and I use these evidence-based approaches to help individuals and couples address trauma, anxiety, grief & loss, and family and relational dynamics.
Have you tried talk therapy in the past or are you looking for a new innovative approach to traditional talk therapy? How do you feel toward your life? You may be good at keeping up appearances on the outside, but on the inside, you may be struggling with parts of yourself that are feeling overwhelmed, angry, impulsive, lost, sad, lonely, stressed, burnt out or stuck and reactive to people or situations. I help people learn how to calm their nervous system, heal their stories, and lead with awareness.

I feel that understanding how health concerns and physical symptoms can show up hand in hand with mental health struggles is incredibly valuable. I believe that the better you understand how your body and mind interact, the more ability you will have to control symptoms. I have been trained to work with trauma, substance abuse, PTSD, chronic illness, family systems, couples, children, groups & individuals. My unique background in medicine also helps in working with individuals with chronic illness as well as individuals from the military, emergency services & medical personnel.

We all experience the pains of life. Individual. Relational. Societal. Existential. Past. Present. Future. In our pain, we do our best to live well with ourselves and our communities. We survive and attempt to thrive in an age that is increasingly polarized and disconnected from our humanity. I am interested in supporting people with the issues of living. What is our purpose? What is our truth? What is our response to pain? How do we remain connected to ourselves and others? What are we seeking? How do we contribute to this world?

Family Systems Therapists
Family Systems therapists view problems within the family as the result not of particular members' behaviors, but of the family's group dynamic. The family is seen as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs and patterns. The therapist helps each individual member understand how their childhood family operated, their role in that system, and how that experience has shaped their role in the current family.
