Adversity is a part of life, but that does not mean we have to face it alone. I help clients to take charge of pursuing their goals while fostering a supportive and healthy atmosphere. I work with children, adolescents, parents, and families in their journey toward enhancing their mental health. By using the family systems approach, I have a clear understanding of how clients experiencing difficult relationships, traumatic events, transitions, bullying or how school stress can affect the entire family. I help clients refine their communication with their support system as well as practice healthy coping skills.

I offer different types of therapeutic avenues to explore, rework, release and address challenges old or new. We decide the timetable and scope of therapy together whether very focused change is desired or more in depth reworking is wanted. Some people also use therapy to maintain positive gains and have a unique place to speak/ find the truth in a safe, trusting environment. The focus is on enhancing and building on strengths to realize potential based on needs. I use brainspotting, polyvagal informed therapy (Unyte/ILS listening system) and IFS(Internal Family Systems) to deeply and often more rapidly release blocked/frozen issues

I am a certified Family Systems Trauma Counselor who studied through the Family Trauma Institute.
We all have times in our lives when we find ourselves looking for someone to help us through this thing called life. During those times, we may find ourselves a little lost or confused with no direction. Therapy with me is like talking to your best friend. You can be yourself in a judgment free zone. I’m a great listener, creative, and compassionate, which will help you in discovering your strengths and develop the life you desire. Life may have handed you challenging experiences that included trauma, pain, and confusion, but you don’t have to stay stuck in it. I want to help you heal and grow so you can live with joy and purpose.

Grounded in humanism, I draw from several different therapeutic traditions, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS).
My hope is to help ease your most difficult emotions while addressing the patterns that keep you feeling "stuck" or powerless. Drawing from interpersonal neuroscience (e.g., polyvagal theory) I offer a compassionate, non-pathologizing framework for healing and growth so that you can enact changes in your life that are consistent with your most authentic and grounded self. I believe we are all capable of improving the quality of our lives no matter how difficult and persistent problems have been. Seeing my clients evolve through self-compassion and meaningful action is a true privilege and passion for me.

The primary modalities I use with clients are EMDR, Internal Family Systems and Somatic Experiencing.
I wholeheartedly believe that because the majority of our wounds occur inside relationship, healing will come through relationship as well. In our work, I can offer you warmth and empathy as we gently explore the ‘why’ behind what you do while uncovering your strength and resilience. My work with clients focuses on grief and loss, trauma, relational discord, anxiety, depression, body image, life-transitions, adoption-related issues, parenthood and the intersection of faith and spirituality with day to day living.

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.
