I recognize the complexity of
family systems
and work to create a safe environment for children and the important adults in their lives to feel free to be themselves, feel empowered to work through their struggles, and engage in opportunities to develop healthy relationships.
With more than a decade of clinical experience and the transition to becoming a parent myself, I know the importance of being an empathic and understanding support for parents and children alike. My therapy approach is strengths-based and tailored to each client’s individual and family needs. Whether you are 1, 15, or 45, I work collaboratively with my clients to find the best course of healing.

Have you been feeling down or worried? Have you noticed being too "stuck in your head" and have a desire to be more present in your daily life? Or perhaps you just don't feel very good about yourself and want to feel more confident. Everybody has times in their lives when things just aren't going the way they'd hoped, and they feel stuck and lost regarding how to get back on track. Some people experience more significant trauma, either as a child or an adult, that negatively impacts them in ways they didn't expect. There is an endless number of reasons why people become disconnected from themselves and decide to seek therapy.

I typically incorporate expressive arts-based techniques, somatic work, mindfulness, EMDR and
IFS
concepts into my sessions to encourage insight and healing on a core level.
Welcome! I'm so glad you landed on my page. I am a strengths-based, client-centered therapist who sees people of all ages working through anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief/loss, identity questions, and trauma. The first thing I'll do when we meet is simply listen. I want to hear your story, in the way that you tell it. Together, we'll explore the parts of your story that are working for you, and the parts you want to shift; the parts of your story that are in your control, and those that are not. I will act as guide and witness to the internal work you need to do to move towards the life you want and deserve.

Using evidence-based treatment models such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT),
Family Systems
Theory, and Brief Strategic Family Therapy (BSFT), I work with adolescents, adults, families, parents, and couples to help get them back to living their best lives.
Many of us, from time to time, need help navigating life's incredible challenges. Fear, trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and many other obstacles can keep individuals tied to old thinking patterns and cycles with ineffective coping strategies. As a Christian, I believe God made us with a need for good relationships with Him, with our family, with others, and with ourselves. My approach to therapy is based on a collaborative therapeutic relationship designed to help people identify goals and overcome challenges at their own pace.

Family Systems
Therapy.
I provide a specialized approach to helping you understand why life is not turning out the way you had hoped. We will work together to develop a plan, repair past pains and disappointments, and help you begin to live the life you always wanted. Your story and your pain have a purpose, and your voice matters. Depression, anxiety, a persistent fear of rejection, or feeling alone and hopeless can impact all aspects of life; including relationships, marriages, jobs/careers, and children. Together we will use your strengths and wisdom to find solutions, relief, and the enjoyment you deserve.

I value and honor the complex ways in which each person engages with the world by collaborating with clients to create an open, safe, and non-judgmental space, prioritizing clients’ autonomy throughout the therapeutic process. As a queer-identified practitioner, I bring personal and professional experience to creating an affirming space, regardless of whether gender and/or sexuality are central issues in your current therapeutic needs. I'm experienced in working with folks experiencing anxiety, depression, mood variations, and the multitude of responses that can result from trauma.

Finding the right therapist is perhaps the most important part of the therapy process. You want someone you can feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings without judgment. You want to know that your therapist has your best interests in mind always, and sees things objectively. You want someone who has advanced training, experience, skill and offers sound encouragement. You want someone who would practice what is recommended and feels called to walk along side you during some of life's most difficult moments. If this is where you are beginning, consider starting here.

If you are like many of us, you may not feel sure of who you are or what you want in life. You may be in an unhealthy relationship, struggling with parenting, weathering the stress of college, or feeling hopeless in depression or addiction. As women, and even more so as mothers, it can feel impossible to measure up. Maybe you've tried many strategies to feel better without the desired results. Together, we’ll uncover who you truly are under social and familial expectations, heal past wounds from life's adversity, create a lifestyle that keeps you squarely in your worth, and curate your most authentic and meaningful life.

Life seems really good, right? Your family loves you. You love them too. You love your job, have a great career, or you are are working towards one. yet you feel sad, scared, hurt and lonely. You want to be happy, joyful and hopeful about life.
Days and nights all run together and life seems meaningless and without purpose. Your relationships are not fulfilling. You have crying spells but you wear a game face like everything is going great.
It's time to find joy and happiness. it's time to build and enjoy nurturing relationships.

Human beings are highly adaptable, but sometimes the ways in which we cope are maladaptive or counter productive. Oftentimes when we encounter adversity our natural instinct is to tough it out and hope things change. Sometimes that can lead to feeling stuck, helpless, or overwhelmed when things don't change. Therapy can help get you unstuck and back to living the life you deserve. My main areas of focus include PTSD, complex trauma, anxiety, depression, attachment issues, inner child work, grief, and life transitions.

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.
