This is a difficult time in the world. We all need support and a safe space to be heard and to discover new tools and skills to move forward in a more wholistic way. I work in collaboration with clients, honoring that we each have the resources within us to move forward with intention and self compassion.
I specialize in adolescent/young adult concerns, couples therapy, working within the LGBTQ+ communities and other nontraditional relationships. I am an Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) informed therapist.
During this time of uncertainty and unrest we must find empathy and support. We are all on our own paths and I know the unease involved making the first outreach for help. I am available for questions and consultation to determination if I am a good match for you as a partner moving forward on your path to healing and wholeness.

I blend primarily Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapies, as well as others to support the individual needs of those with whom I work. CBT allows us to connect our behaviors with our thoughts and with our feelings to make changes with intention. IFS allows us to see the different parts of ourselves as and get to know them and what they are trying to accomplish.
