I am currently learning Internal Family Systems therapy, and would love more clients who are interested in giving it a try!
My commitment in therapy is to help people live their fully authentic life - in whatever way that looks like to you. I have a particular passion for those who love outside the box - I specialize in working with polyamory and non-monogamy, kink, and queer and trans individuals. I like to get curious about the things that make you unique, and find ways to make those parts shine, while also holding space for the difficulty of living with marginalized identities. While I am not a trained trauma therapist, trauma, both single-instance and complex, informs all of my work.

I use parts work/Internal Family Systems, mind-body and somatic techniques, and EMDR to treat several different types of mental health symptoms.
I believe trust and safety are the 2 most important things in therapy. I strive to create this with a warm and non-judgmental presence, humor when appropriate, and listening to truly understand you. To help you make the changes you want in your life, I use a compassionate yet direct approach, helping you to challenge your thought processes and behaviors. I specialize in trauma and addictions, though work with a variety of other issues you may struggle with like having a new baby, relationship and trust issues, divorce, anxiety, depression, poor self-esteem, impulsivity or concentration issues.

I utilize narrative therapy and IFS parts work to explore, challenge, and build insight.
Adulting is hard, life can be difficult, and the whole thing can be overwhelming. Let's talk about it, let's yell at it, or meditate on it. All of the systems that we are a part of can impact the way we think about ourselves and our ability to connect with others. This can severely impact our mental health and our ability to heal. I am here to help you manage issues related to sexuality, severe and persistent mental illness, sense of self, trauma, loss, and life transitions. Note: I have a therapy dog that will be present for in person sessions. Please Email only as I have difficulty responding to voicemails in a timely manner.

I enjoy working with clients who have experienced trauma, specifically relational trauma. It is rewarding to help clients understand how their attachment style was formed, how it impacts them as adults, and how to develop healthier ways of relating in this world.

I tend to use Cognitive Behavior therapy and Internal Family Systems.
Sometimes life feels overwhelming, and you might find yourself disconnected from who you really are. I believe that by reconnecting with your sense of self, people can heal. I work with individuals and couples who are dealing with trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. I also have experience supporting people and families through psychosis. My approach is straightforward: You already have strengths worth building on. Rather than focusing on what's "wrong," we'll work together to help you regulate emotions, express yourself authentically, and feel more grounded in your daily life.

The most common methods I use are: psychodynamic, emotionally focused therapy, and Internal Family Systems ( IFS).
Now accepting NEW clients! Have you been questioning lately just how “good” your childhood really was? Find yourself struggling with things you think you “should already know” as an adult - like knowing yourself, coping with emotions, communicating in relationships, and setting boundaries? If so, you may have experienced Childhood Emotional Neglect (CEN), which is often due to having emotionally immature parents. CEN is a common but invisible form of childhood trauma. Fortunately, CEN is treatable AND preventable.

Maybe you constantly second-guess yourself, feel overwhelmed by the “what ifs,” or just wish you could turn your brain down for a bit.
My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), but I also draw from other evidence-based therapies like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), ICBT, ART, ACT, and DBT. That might sound like a lot of acronyms—but in plain terms, I’ll work with you to find practical tools that actually help you feel more in control and less stuck.
