If you are someone who has been through pain but you know there is more to life and more that you can give, you have come to the right place. I have acquired a strong belief that the only true path to well-being, happiness, and living a fulfilled life is to learn the mindset, attitudes, and mental characteristics needed to thrive. Many times in our journey through life we lose sight of our true purpose and potential when the cloud of past and current painful experiences/memories hang over us and manifests themselves as hopelessness, low self-esteem, feelings of low self-worth, overwhelming emotions, negative choices, and despair.

I see therapy as a collaborative process every step of the way- from goal setting through achieving goals. I believe that each individual, couple, and family has a different way to relating to the world, and I treat each client based on their individual needs. We work together to identify strengths, and focus on what we know is already working. Then, together, we face challenges and build new skills to accomplish goals. I use therapeutic techniques that are designed to meet those goals (e.g. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy-CBT, Family Systems, Solution Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Dialectic Behavior Therapy-DBT).

This includes somatic training (Sensorimotor Psychotherapy), EMDR, Internal Family Systems, and Psychodynamic approaches.
Healing from trauma requires a specialized, attuned, and integrative process. The emotional wounds of the past are hidden and often appear as anxiety, relational challenges, disconnection, and more. At its core, trauma disconnects us from ourself and makes us feel that who and what we are is "not enough." This leaves us feeling empty and seeking replacements to fill that void. By addressing our trauma, we integrate this healing at the deeper emotional, body, and spiritual levels. With a safe, supportive space, we can tap into our internal wisdom and bring about this transformational work.

Helping others has been at the forefront of my life and that passion continues to flourish. Life circumstances have made me realize the limited availability of mental health professionals who were passionate, compassionate and empathetic. The interactions with diverse communities has made me aware of the critical need for mental health professionals in the area of child and adolescents, family counseling and support for those in the autism community. That has fueled a need in me to assist individuals and families establish lasting and fortified relationships in an effort to repair the family system.

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.
