Trauma is linked to anxiety, depression, and relationship problems (Bessel, 2021). We tend to think that trauma only happens to war veterans or victims of assault. However, being raised in an unpredictable home, difficult relationship with parents, or exposed to stress etc. can have a life-long impact. People can feel hesitant about seeking treatment for trauma because it can open a door to feeling overwhelmed. However, this is not the case with the therapy I provide, Somatic Experiencing, a therapy that takes years to be trained on.

You show up for everyone, but when it comes to sharing how you feel, the words don't always come. Maybe you've never really been taught how to name your emotions, let alone express them. I work with individuals and couples who want to communicate more openly but feel stuck, shut down, or overwhelmed. Whether you're navigating identity, anxiety, family, or relationship stress, therapy can be a place to work through what you're feeling and learn to express it.

Recognizing when we need help and asking for it can be challenging. Life’s internal stressors and external pressures can sometimes feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face them alone. Seeking therapy is a powerful step, and I want to help make that journey a positive and meaningful experience for you.
As a therapist, I am committed to creating a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you feel safe and supported in expressing yourself. I specialize in areas such as eating disorders, sexual trauma, anxiety, depression, identity and self-expression, family and relationship dynamics, life transitions, and mood disorders.

I draw from somatic therapy, IFS, and mindfulness, weaving in earth-based practices to help you feel safe in your body and more at peace in your life.
You might look calm and capable on the outside, but inside feel anxious, tense, or disconnected. Maybe you’re tired of carrying so much - grief, stress, or emotions that feel hard to name. I work with women who are ready to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and feel more grounded and alive.

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness! We all want this and deserve this, especially in our romantic relationships, so why do things go wrong? Lack of communication. The good news is, loving communication is a skill that can be learned, even after years of feeling stuck. When couples learn to talk about issues in a loving way, their whole relationship improves (yes, even in the bedroom!). Here's what we'll cover in counseling:
• How to bring up a problem that’s bothering you
• How to listen with an open heart
• How to make sure your partner feels heard

You’re the one everyone leans on.
You’re strong. You get things done. But under the surface, you’re tired of people-pleasing, unclear boundaries, and relationships that leave you questioning your worth. You want peace, the kind that doesn’t come from fixing yourself, but from finally feeling like yourself.
Maybe you’re stepping into motherhood, building a business, or just tired of surviving on autopilot.
Either way, you know something has to shift. You’re ready to find your voice, heal what’s buried, and live a life that finally feels like your own.

People seek my professional help for a variety of reasons. Sometimes, something in their lives is just not right. They may wish to make specific changes or to understand themselves better. They may struggle with their relationships, have difficulties in their jobs or studies, and/or old traumas continue to negatively affect their present. Also, sometimes they just don’t know what to do with their inner voice that is too critical and sabotages their lives. Therapy or counseling is not always about making big changes or exploring past issues. It can be used to simply have a place to check-in and stay attuned with themselves.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists
What is Internal Family Systems therapy?
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a type of talk therapy that focuses on sub-personalities, or “families,” within a person, which may be made up of wounded parts and unpleasant emotions like anger and shame. These sub-personalities can come into conflict with each other and with an individual’s core Self, leaving the person feeling detached from positive traits such as the “8 C’s” of confidence, calmness, creativity, clarity, curiosity, courage, compassion, and connectedness. By healing a patient’s wounded parts, a therapist aims to restore balance and bring on positive change.
How does Internal Family Systems therapy work?
An IFS therapist will work with a patient to identify their particular sub-personalities, recognize the emotions powering them, and release them. By doing so, the patient should become more able to address any underlying problems their sub-personalities may have been trying to protect them from. Ultimately, a patient discovers ways to manage internal and external conflicts on their own, through techniques such as relaxation exercises, journaling, and making charts depicting the relationships between their core Self and their distinct parts.
Does Internal Family Systems therapy work?
IFS therapy has been shown to help people address conditions such as depression, anxiety, panic, fears and phobias, trauma, and substance use disorders. Some research has also found that it can help individuals deal with symptoms of physical health conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, such as pain, everyday functioning, depressive feelings, and low self-compassion. There are some conditions for which IFS treatment, specifically discussions of one’s “parts,” may be less appropriate, such as schizophrenia or other states that involve psychosis or paranoia.
How long does Internal Family Systems therapy take?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for IFS therapy. After becoming comfortable with a therapist and the core concepts of IFS, some patients quickly make progress. While experiences vary, most will find that it is a relatively longer-term therapy, involving months and sometimes years of sessions.
