Certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, Internal Family Systems and NARM Therapist.
The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are -Joseph Campbell. Together, we can really hone in on what it is you are wanting for yourself and finding a path forward, that best suites you. Often, the work is getting back in touch with your Self in a deeper way—like re-calibrating your inner compass. My understanding of counseling comes from holistic, somatic and trauma-informed approaches that incorporate mind, body, and soul such as Jungian, IFS and transpersonal. Sex therapy is also a very important part of the work I do. Check out my website blog to learn more details about how I work

While I'm a Somatic-based therapist, I integrate a Jungian lens, IFS & expressive arts, along with talk-therapy.
Do you identify as a highly-sensitive-person (HSP)? Deep feeler + thinker? Recovering perfectionist ...people-pleaser ...performer? Worry you are both too much + not enough? Struggle in relationship to self + others over the years? Dealing with quarter-life to mid-life transitions & challenges? Everyday overwhelm? Who-Am-I issues? Feel stuck but also ready for change? Together, we will explore how your past effects your present & co-create new ways forward. My main philosophy is: You are already whole & already know what you need (yes, even right now, as you're reading this). Most of us need some help to do so.

My personal practice typically involves a combination of Mindfulness-Based Art Therapy through Internal Family Systems, Existential, and Polyvagal lenses.
My passion is working with clients who identify with some (or all) of the following Intersections: LGBTQIA+, Ethically Non-monogamous, Chronically Ill, & Neurodivergent (especially late diagnosis ND). Most of my clinical experience has been with clients whose identities exist at these intersections, in addition to Complex Trauma. I want to help you build the life you have only imagined by aiding you in identifying and healing from your core wounds. This is done by collaborating in order to understand your unique System (both internal and external) - from that insight we work to build Self-Worth, Self-Esteem, and Self-Compassion.

I use trauma-informed, Family Systems, and CBT approaches.
“Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within,” James Baldwin once said. Do you want more connection in your life, to have a community of loved ones, however large or small? You are not alone. Each of us desires connection, and yet trauma and broken relationships between loved ones often get in the way - this brokenness can affect our closest relationships, and families suffer. Or, sometimes you may feel like you don’t really know or love yourself as well as you think you should. These questions, desires, and fears are part of the human experience, and part of my own life experience.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists
What is Internal Family Systems therapy?
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a type of talk therapy that focuses on sub-personalities, or “families,” within a person, which may be made up of wounded parts and unpleasant emotions like anger and shame. These sub-personalities can come into conflict with each other and with an individual’s core Self, leaving the person feeling detached from positive traits such as the “8 C’s” of confidence, calmness, creativity, clarity, curiosity, courage, compassion, and connectedness. By healing a patient’s wounded parts, a therapist aims to restore balance and bring on positive change.
How does Internal Family Systems therapy work?
An IFS therapist will work with a patient to identify their particular sub-personalities, recognize the emotions powering them, and release them. By doing so, the patient should become more able to address any underlying problems their sub-personalities may have been trying to protect them from. Ultimately, a patient discovers ways to manage internal and external conflicts on their own, through techniques such as relaxation exercises, journaling, and making charts depicting the relationships between their core Self and their distinct parts.
Does Internal Family Systems therapy work?
IFS therapy has been shown to help people address conditions such as depression, anxiety, panic, fears and phobias, trauma, and substance use disorders. Some research has also found that it can help individuals deal with symptoms of physical health conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, such as pain, everyday functioning, depressive feelings, and low self-compassion. There are some conditions for which IFS treatment, specifically discussions of one’s “parts,” may be less appropriate, such as schizophrenia or other states that involve psychosis or paranoia.
How long does Internal Family Systems therapy take?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for IFS therapy. After becoming comfortable with a therapist and the core concepts of IFS, some patients quickly make progress. While experiences vary, most will find that it is a relatively longer-term therapy, involving months and sometimes years of sessions.
