Imagine your life as a bookshelf: It may feel like the “TRAUMA” book is the only one on your shelf. It’s big and heavy and it hurts to think about opening it. In our work together you will learn how to build a library full of rich life experiences around what you’ve already survived. You won’t have to numb the pain. You won’t have to minimize what you feel to make others comfortable. You will get to process your traumas and feel present for the first time in a long time, or maybe in your life.
I'm really good at helping people in their 20’s to 40’s navigate grief, trauma, and the big life changes that come with being this age. If you’re struggling to enjoy this season of your life, or have been feeling an urge to shake things up and get your act together, I’m here to help.
My hope for our work together is that you will learn how to be your own leader. I will help you befriend all parts of yourself- yes, even the parts that make you feel cringy. It feels good to get to a place where you no longer need outside validation. Please reach out if you’re interested in learning more.

You can expect a combination of talk therapy and depth work. Current struggles are often rooted in past traumas and relationships, and this combination helps you to heal from both.

I use Internal Family Systems in my practice. This is also known as "parts work" or "inner child work" to some. Your treatment will most likely blend IFS and Brainspotting with talk therapy. I am also happy to collaborate with outside providers who are a part of your wellness plan.
