I am a curious and compassionate psychotherapist, calm and gently direct. I support individuals, couples, and families in more fully connecting with self and others. My style draws primarily from Gestalt: an experiential, relational, here-and-now-oriented, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed approach. This might look like mindfulness, somatic/body process, role-play, enactment, dreams, parts work, and other creative experiments. I also fluidly integrate Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Polyvagal Theory, Psychedelic/Ketamine-Assisted Therapy, and other frameworks, depending on client needs.

Wouldn't it be great if your therapist didn't just listen to you, but helped YOU listen to yourself? You know, that Self that gets lost among all your responsibilities and commitments and social media and stress and all the things you tell yourself...all that stuff that makes you feel fragmented and overwhelmed. I excel at helping people discover themselves amidst the noise of life. Understanding yourself is the key to getting "unstuck" and moving towards healing, success, and growth.

In the words of Marsha Linehan, “I am one of you.” Hi, my name is Winterford, but I insist you call me Win. I am a licensed therapist who believes in the power and restoration of therapy. Although I am a clinician, I am no different from any of you and experience my own struggles with anxiety, depression, and self-worth. I’m transparent about my lived experiences because I believe it not only makes me a better version of myself and therapist but allows me to accept the power of vulnerability.

Going through a life transition and need support navigating your path? Looking for short-term, goal directed, and values-based guidance? I would be honored to walk alongside you through this phase. I am passionate in helping caregivers and “people pleasers” whose "spirit animal" might be the chameleon. That is, they blend in with what others need but may feel increasing resentment, lack of direction, and burnout as a result. Imagine what it would feel like to prioritize yourself again. You deserve to honor your needs while engaging in meaningful, balanced relationships and living a more fulfilling life in line with your own values.

Fit in everywhere and nowhere at the same time? I get it. I help diverse women who juggle multiple cultural identities heal. Maybe you’re the child of immigrants, multiracial or a racially ambiguous chameleon, an expat, “third culture kid”, bilingual (or sad you lost your parent’s language), feel culturally displaced, part of a religious minority, or just don’t quite fit into any one box. You probably feel suffocated by the drive to overfunction, perform, and be what everyone else needs you to be. You might find it hard to get your own needs met and feel unsettled in yourself and your relationships.
