Look at birds: they make great sky circles of their freedom. How do they learn to do that? They fall, and in falling, they are given wings. -Rumi ...In the course of being human, we all face losses and traumas of different degrees and in the process, find ourselves abandoning parts of ourselves in order to survive emotionally and interpersonally. Therapy is about reclaiming those parts and finding our way home to who we truly are.

My style includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, relational techniques, family systems, mindfulness, and Internal Family Systems.
I believe that each person has a deep wisdom inside of them, and part of my job is to help you learn and remember how to trust yourself. Supporting people to cultivate both self-awareness and self-compassion are a central focus of mine. I also feel passionate about cultivating a safe and trusted connection with clients that provides the opportunity for healing and growth. Each of us has a unique journey and I help people to feel more at home in themselves, both in times of joy and hardship. Learning to support ourselves in times of pain and suffering takes practice, and we are not meant to do it alone.

We all have our specific and unique backgrounds and circumstances that bring us into therapy, but I have noticed that many of us are seeking more meaningful and secure connection with other people and deeper emotional safety as we navigate the world. When we have been hurt or traumatized, we naturally develop symptoms that affect how we relate with people and how we try to cope in our lives. I love working with people who have the bravery to enter therapy in order to understand and honor how they have arrived at their current patterns in relationships and in life and then grow into ones that are more meaningful and joyful to them.

Many of my clients have been in psychotherapy/counseling before and start working with me to go deeper to transform from the repetitive relational patterns that hold them back. Most of my clients value psychotherapy and see the benefit from telling the emotionally significant story of their lives in a confidential safe setting. Trauma, addiction, depression, and anxiety are issues that I have the most experience relating with. Some of life's dilemmas require a conversation to resolve. A conversation that weaves past and present, fantasy and reality, desire and inhibition to form a detailed understanding of one's life.

I use a unique and personalized combination of cognitive and experiential techniques like Internal Family Systems, DBT, EMDR and creative arts therapies.
Have you ever uttered the words "I am sick and tired of being sick and tired" or felt like even when you are happy, that you are just waiting for the other shoe to fall? Do you have thoughts that no matter what you do, nothing seems to change and you find yourself in the same toxic relationships over and over again? Maybe you have even had thoughts that it's all too much and there never seems to be that proverbial light at the end of the tunnel that everybody keeps talking about. Yet something keeps you going, some small voice inside you knows you want more, knows you are capable of more.

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.
