I co-create a supportive space for adoptees and individuals with complex or relational trauma to work through anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles while fostering healing and deeper self-understanding. Clients describe me as genuine, easy to talk to, and both validating and gently challenging. Together, we can uncover and weave together the deeper layers of your story, helping you reconnect with your true self and build resilience. Through this process, you can create a life that feels truly aligned with your values, not just external expectations.

If you want to feel more connected to yourself and others, and more at peace with life, you are not alone. If your inner life feels chaotic or you are struggling with substance abuse, changing moods, fear, and hopelessness, you are not alone. Therapy can facilitate the freeing of inner resources, as we shed old ways of responding to the world and to ourselves. Asking for help and moving out of the comfort zone we are used to is difficult, but often occurs when the fear of staying where we are outweighs the fear and discomfort of change. This is a window of opportunity, as the most challenging times are times of growth.

In our hurried lives, we sometimes find ourselves feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from loved ones, or "stuck" and unsure about where we are headed. Some of us may even struggle with a past that continues to define our present. As a counselor, I strive to provide a safe, supportive environment promoting awareness, cultivating strengths, and encouraging lasting change. My clients frequently describe me as warm, genuine, non-judgmental, easy to talk to, insightful and motivating. My style draws upon an experience range including grief/hospice care, family/couple systems, group and individual treatment for clients with severe psychiatric diagnoses, and addiction.

I provide couples therapy from a systemic and humanistic approach that seeks to understand clients in the context of their relationship. I focus on identifying personal and relational patterns that clients find themselves repeating or feeling caught in. In learning about where these patterns may have originated and how they impact their relationships, I work with clients to become aware of and to challenge their own cycles, to find ownership and empowerment in creating new solutions, and to discover and maintain long-lasting change.

I understand myself in this role as a fellow traveler along the road who has devoted particular time and attention to learning the skills necessary to hold the kind of space that most effectively evokes the healing, release, and the profound wisdom that we all carry within. I work primarily with Internal Family Systems therapy. I believe this to be a particularly appropriate approach for our times as it is inherently a consent-based practice that moves precisely at the pace we are each ready for, and also creates space for touching the burdens we inherited intergenerationally/ancestrally.

Animal-Assisted Therapy takes you out of the office and into nature. It blends elements of traditional therapy such as talking, creating a treatment plan to work on goals, processing trauma and learning coping skills - but animals and nature-based activities are incorporated into sessions.
This often helps people feel more comfortable, open up and develop connections quicker.
The skills learned while working in this setting and with our animal companions can then be applied to everyday life.

With 24 years experience, I have helped clients take a deeper, more insightful look at thought and behavioral patterns that hold them back from positive relationships, fulfilling careers, and a compassionate, worthy sense of self. Anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges are often the result of suppressing our authentic voice because of fear of rejection, abandonment, and self-loathing. We rediscover our genuine, original self by leaning into our fear of rejection, letting go of false beliefs about self and developing beliefs and new behaviors that are more empowering and in line with who we really are.
