Many of the clients I work with are carrying not only their own stress, anxiety, and grief, but also the weight of living in a world that often feels overwhelming, unjust, or unsafe. If you’re feeling depleted, angry, or hopeless at times, you’re not alone, and nothing is “wrong” with you. I am a progressive, affirming therapist who believes that tending to ourselves is how we sustain ourselves for the long haul. I have a special interest in working with parents, individuals who are deeply impacted by social justice stress and systemic inequities, and men who are learning to embrace emotional depth and vulnerability.

We all experience the pains of life. Individual. Relational. Societal. Existential. Past. Present. Future. In our pain, we do our best to live well with ourselves and our communities. We survive and attempt to thrive in an age that is increasingly polarized and disconnected from our humanity. I am interested in supporting people with the issues of living. What is our purpose? What is our truth? What is our response to pain? How do we remain connected to ourselves and others? What are we seeking? How do we contribute to this world?

Unseen in Plain Sight - the anguish can be debilitating and confusing. Learning to calmly see ourselves is a central part of change in therapy, both relationally and neurologically. I guide people in seeing themselves in a more grounded way, manifesting core aspirations and values, and in working themselves away from past ruptures blocking their experience of feeling resourced and regulated. I work with developmental/family of origin issues (emotional malnourishment in all of its forms), trauma, abuse and neglect, and chemical use/compulsive comfort seeking behaviors. I see individuals, couples, and families.

My work is rooted in modalities like ACT, CBT, IFS, Brainspotting, & mindfulness.
I work with highly sensitive people who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in patterns of self-doubt, burnout, and disconnection. My clients often long for deeper peace, stronger boundaries, and more authentic relationships—but they may not know where to start. Many are navigating life transitions, past trauma, or complex emotions that leave them feeling isolated or exhausted. They want to feel more grounded, aligned, and confident in who they are and how they move through the world.

I have experience in CBT, DBT, Family Systems Work and Internal Family Systems.

Learning how to look within and find those parts and aspects of ourself that need healing and attention has been my internal and external focus. One of the aspects I strive for is being free of past trauma, experiences and fears that now are barriers to living a glorious life.

It's hard to be a human in general, and when mental health is struggling, it can feel impossible! I find that when we are struggling we can either feel controlled by emotions, or have trouble connecting with them. Sometimes it's hard to trust your yourself; You might not know how to move through life with everything going on. Having a safe place where you can be curious and let your emotions come out is incredibly important.

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.
