Whether you are struggling in your important relationships, trying to cope with the impact of past trauma, or exploring questions of meaning and identity, searching for a therapist is a courageous step toward building the life you've been wishing for. I especially enjoy working with adolescents and adults, and am here to support you as a fellow traveler on the journey toward a better life. I offer a place to explore your questions, hopes, struggles, and joys in the context of a safe, connected relationship free of judgment. I invest my time outside of our sessions in training and research to ensure I am offering you what works.
A session with me might include discussing an issue, building trust and self-confidence using IFS (Internal Family Systems), working through past trauma using ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) or EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), creating a model of a current issue in the sand tray, or expressing emotions with art.
I accept insurance clients in FL and self-pay in WA. I am affirming of LGBTQ+ identities and neurodivergence. Together, we can identify your goals and work on an individualized treatment plan to help you move toward those goals and improve your daily life. Finding the right fit can be challenging, so please call or email me to set up your free consultation!

For single-incident trauma work, I use Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and you can expect that work to take 5-10 sessions. For complex trauma, our therapy work would look like longer-term care, integrating EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and sand tray. For adolescents, I have specialized training in sand tray therapy and expressive arts.

In your first session, we will explore what brought you to therapy and the context of your identity. Together we will set goals for your treatment, and I will be transparent about why we are doing what we do. I often use EMDR, IFS and sand tray therapy, but I let you lead the way to decide what works for you. Your consent, agency and safety are my top priority.
