Welcome! Seeking therapy is courageous and demonstrates hope for change. Perhaps parts of you feel ambivalent or uncertain about starting therapy, I see the hope you also hold for the possibility of living authentically and with more ease. You or your child may feel challenged with anxiety, transitions, feelings of depression, overall unease or symptoms of trauma and therefore having difficulty learning, focusing, or within interpersonal relationships. I am here to help you understand these feelings and challenges in a safe, supportive space and develop a trusting relationship within yourself, to reach your therapy goals.
I utilize a collaborative, integrated approach that may include EMDR, IFS, CBT, and motivational interviewing to support client's and parents of child/teen clients with understanding challenges and stories. Expressive arts, mindfulness, and sand tray are also available for clients of all ages to support their therapeutic process.
It takes courage to be vulnerable, particularly about sensitive and protected parts of yoruself. Therefore it is critical that the person you choose to work with is a good fit for your needs and personality. I invite you to contact me to schedule a free, 30 minute consultation to learn more about how I can support you in reaching your goals.

I work with adults and teens/pre-teens struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, challenges with life transitions, and parenting. Initial sessions focus on building trust both with me and their internal system, and collaboration to create a treatment plan. As clients get to know their internal system, they often experience a lightening of symptoms and increased ease within various life areas.
