I spent years struggling alone; feeling like it was all up to me. I had gotten myself into this situation and I was going to get myself out of it. But I was wrong. I finally made the choice to reach out and try something different; to ask for help.

I believe in using cognitive behavioral therapy and narrative therapy when helping my clients.
For military families, anxiety is often a shared yet unspoken companion. The unique challenges of military life, from deployments to constant relocations, can foster a sense of perpetual uncertainty. Acknowledging these shared experiences is vital in understanding that while the journey is challenging, it's also a path towards collective strength and support.

I come from a narrative, trauma-informed framework. This means that I am willing to explore a client's story and experiences with compassion and courage. Trust and safety are very important in the therapy relationship and I strive to create a safe environment. I am trained in DBT coping and mindfulness skills, as well as addictions therapy and betrayal trauma/infidelity recovery therapy. Your story is unique to you - and while it does not define you, it may provide helpful clues to where you are now in life and in relationships. I will invite you to that same courage as you are ready, which may take time.

My training utilizes EMDR, Mindfulness, Interpersonal Neurobiology, Narrative Therapy, and CBT.
First I'd like to say that I'm glad you're here. Prioritizing yourself and your mental health is a vulnerable process. It is my intention to create a space with choice, encouragement, and warmth. The time we have together is set aside to address whatever stressors are most present in your life. I have experience supporting individuals of all ages struggling with PTSD, depression, anxiety, panic disorder, ADHD, and grief. In addition to counseling, I have provided advocacy and trial prep to survivors of sexual assault and other violent crimes. I'm a staunch advocate for women's rights, LGBTQIA+, and other marginalized communities.

With an integrative approach, I weave ancestral practices, narrative/storytelling exploration, somatic-embodiment, and expressive art therapeutic techniques to explore and transform the relationship you have with your shame, anger/rage, fear, and grief towards deep compassion, liberation, and connection.
I offer a therapeutic space that is queer-affirming, culturally responsive, and liberation-centered. As a therapist, I create a curious, compassionate, and non-judgmental space for those who are ready to explore themselves and their experiences through a relational lens. Together, we will explore and model what secure attachment and safe relationships feel like within the therapeutic space - toward ourselves, our experiences, our communities, our ancestors, and the natural/spiritual world.

I use a lot of narrative therapy, which focuses a lot on your story, and how to change that story to make it the version that works the best for you.
Since starting in the field of mental health and recovery, I have worked in a variety of settings. My journey consists of working in inpatient psychiatric hospitals, addiction treatment facilities, family agencies, and even worked a number of years as a nanny. Working in addiction treatment has always been a passion of mine, as my family has struggled with addiction for most of my young adult life. I love having the opportunity to provide families and loved ones with education on addiction and recovery, as well as a sense of hope that their family can truly thrive.

Narrative Therapists
Is narrative therapy evidence-based?
Narrative therapy is not well-studied, and it may not be as effective in treating mental health conditions when compared with evidence-based treatments such as cognitive behavioral therapy. Some small studies do show that depressed and anxious individuals who were treated with narrative therapy reported improvement in anxiety and depression symptoms.
How long does narrative therapy last?
Narrative therapy is less structured when compared with psychoanalysis, for example. Narrative therapy is more open-ended and may not be limited to a set number of sessions. It is common for clients to be in therapy for a few months, and sometimes a year or longer. Patients see their therapist one to two times a week, though the exact schedule and timeline may vary depending on a person’s challenges and progress. Individuals can also practice the principles of narrative therapy after treatment has ended.
Does narrative therapy work?
Narrative therapy can help a person manage or reduce symptoms of conditions like depression or anxiety. This type of therapy encourages a person to reflect on the moments of their life when their particular problem was not at the forefront of their minds—perhaps life celebrations, achievements, and other successes. The individual is encouraged to rewrite their storyline as if their particular problem was not part of their life. This therapy may offer benefits that are hard to measure.
What are the possible limitations of narrative therapy?
Narrative therapy is person-centered or client-centered, and the health professional pays more attention to the subjective narratives that are constructed by the client, as opposed to other objective measures. The therapist privileges the individual’s perspective over all others. This open form may feel frustrating for individuals seeking a more structured approach; certainly, no one therapy type will work for every individual.
