******************NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS*************** Are you feeling depressed, anxious, or overwhelmed by the challenges of life?

My therapeutic lens is rooted in the tenants of social work and social justice. As a clinician I meet clients where they are and recognize that no person functions outside of their environment. So as we delve into issues of mental health symptoms, we will also be investigating how society at large plays a role in our health. I lean heavily on psychodynamic processing and a focused mindfulness practice called Brainspotting. I also engage clients through CBT, DBT, and narrative therapy. I am LGBTQIA+ friendly and am continually in the process of being anti-racist.

The foundation for any therapy I do involves three primary types of therapy, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Internal Family Systems therapy (IFS). Detailed descriptions for both approaches are provided under “Types of Therapy.” In addition to these, I include a third type of therapy known as Effortless Mindfulness-Based Therapy (EMBT), with dovetails well with ACT and IFS. EMBT promotes mindfulness with the premise that wellbeing is achieved by shifting into a level of mind that is always calm, alert and available, rather than calming the mind, changing our thoughts or adjusting attitudes.

My practice is guided by two basic principles. First is that we are more than the sum of our parts. Assessing physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of your life is crucial to reaching whatever therapeutic goals you have! Second, I firmly believe that change requires action. If you find yourself discouraged or repeating destructive patterns in your life, therapy can help you find solutions and discover how to move forward in a positive direction. Whether you are interested in addressing ongoing emotional distress, dealing with a life change, or seeking resolution to negative behavioral patterns, I can help you.

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.

"Change is painful but nothing is as painful as staying stuck where you don't belong." We often feel stuck in the life we have because we don't want to move through the uncomfortable first. You may have experienced personal trauma, secondary trauma, or a bad run of luck in life. Those moments don't define your life. Every situation is getting you closer to the person you are supposed to be. If you are wanting to understand and process the uncomfortable, you are in the right place. In therapy, we will work together to process the past, find balance in the present and move towards peace for the future.

I love dogs, have tattoos, and cuss a little. I like to think I have a good sense of humor and incorporate that when appropriate. That's me in a nutshell!

Therapy is not 'one size fits all' and it can be frustrating and overwhelming to find that right fit. When you're asked to face some of your hardest truths, it is paramount to build a therapeutic relationship you feel comfortable with.
