Waitlist for new clients
Unfortunately, I am not accepting new clients at this time. I work primarily with adults experiencing emotional challenges. This often looks like depression, anxiety, or grief. I also work with individuals going through a transition in life, relationships, career, or health status. During a difficult season in life we are more open to learning new skills and perspectives.

Swearing is allowed! I utilize talk therapy, EMDR, somatic work and Internal Family Systems (IFS).
I work with women who struggle with blended high/low self esteem. To the outside world, we are successful and have our shit together. Except we are masters at hiding pain. Inside, we have a black hole filled with guilt, shame, and feeling unworthy. We feel stress managing family, life, career, relationships, and don't feel good enough. We carry trauma in our bodies and it shows up in our daily life. From a young age, we learned self betrayal was pivotal to be worthy of love and to feel good enough. We didn't have a voice. My focus is repairing the damage due to past experiences and how it’s created a critical view to our own self.

Frequently utilizing Internal Family Systems theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing techniques, and have basic training of EMDR.
Mental health symptoms like depression, anxiety, anger, stress, etc., are just that- symptoms! These symptoms are our bodies way of telling us "something's not right" or "there needs to be a change here." It is imperative that we are mindful in listening to our bodies, and intentionally work to meet our emotional needs. In therapy, we dedicate time to build insight, strengthen more compassionate mindsets, and learn coping skills which regulate our bodies.

Having worked in the field of geriatrics for years, as well as being a "seasoned practictioner" myself, I have come to understand the impact that grief and loss has not only on us as individuals but on family systems as a whole.
I work with adults who are struggling with aging issues and caregivers of older adults experiencing caregiver stress and burnout with a focus on depression and anxiety, employment stress, relationship issues, anticipatory grief, as complicated grief with regard to loss of family or pets. I have years of experience working with the elderly on aging issues, illness, loss of ability, and difficulty adjusting to end of life issues – experienced by not only the elderly but for the family as well. I have extensive work history with geriatric and adult mental illness, hospice, and geriatric health.

Due to my own lived experiences, I strive to create an affirming space for those who are fat, queer, polyamorous/non-monogamous, in/visibly disabled, gender-expansive, and/or expectant parents. Together, we will 1) gain a deeper understanding of your relationships to Self and others, 2) deconstruct systems & expand your knowledge of your own privileged & marginalized positions, and 3) learn about your attachment style & family systems position. Additionally, creatives who wish to expand our process beyond discussion and into music, poetry, and other expressive arts will find that those mediums can be interwoven into our work.

I use approaches from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person Centered Therapy and Family Systems Theory and ultimately, I tailor my approach to you.
When we feel stuck with our uncomfortable feelings or overwhelming circumstances, therapy can help us discover options to shift into something new. I strive to help clients identify and meet their needs in a healthier way, set appropriate boundaries, navigate crises without destruction, and feel supported when ending or beginning a relationship, career or life stage. I believe that we are all impacted by our families of origin (and honestly, almost anyone and anything around us), but that doesn’t mean we need to be held hostage by the past OR the present. Your feelings matter. You matter. Let's work together on getting unstuck.

My family systems background makes me well suited to help with all matters of inter-relational family & couples issues in addition to those transitional adjustments faced by twenty-somethings & singles.
"I prefer to think of my patients and myself as fellow travelers, a term that abolishes distinctions between 'them' (the afflicted) and 'us' (the healers). ... We are all in this together, and there is no therapist and no person immune to the inherent tragedies of existence." (Borrowed from Dr. Irvin Yalom). My practice makes possible the important work of self-evolution & growth in part due to my eclectic approach & focus on the unique matters of every individual. My lived experiences have greatly influenced my desire to partner with my fellow travelers as we do our 'work' and to do so intentionally and mindfully.

Although I employ an eclectic mix of counseling theories, I lean toward family systems using the genogram as the foundational guide.
We live such hectic and often overwhelming lives that counseling provides us the opportunity to check out, even if only for a moment. Granting individuals a listening ear and a compassionate empathetic response is my specialty. My ultimate goal is to build healthy individuals and families by developing the therapeutic tool box filled with practices that bring calm to chaos. We must look to our foundation and past experiences in order to create a plan for healing and future success. With that, much of our work will involve delving deep into Family of Origin issues in order to create healthy new norms and patterns.

I am a Certified Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) therapist and integrate attachment concerns with informed Internal Family Systems techniques.
Choosing the right counselor can be very difficult. Feeling weighed down, frustrated, and not able to move past difficult memories can make a person feel chained to the past. It is important that your concerns are heard, validated, and that your pain is relieved by healing the wounds. Unlike talk therapy, memories can be resolved without talking about them. EMDR and IFS are two evidenced based ways to permanently heal people who have trauma. This is my specialty. In addition, I am offering EMDR intensive therapy for people who desire to resolve the past pain more quickly and effectively. This option is private pay, only.

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.
