By integrating somatic techniques with cognitive behavioral ( CBT) I support individuals and couples through life transitions, anxiety, and relationship challenges to help them find peace and relief.

My clients often arrive to therapy because previous therapies often focused on cognitive and behavioral interventions that hit a threshold for change.
Our work will be about helping you to deal with feelings in a more constructive way so they don't becoming overwhelming or stuck. When we get practiced in noticing the feelings that sit underneath anxiety, we can move through them in ways that leads to insight, relief, and acceptance. We'll also use our relationship as a mirror for what happens elsewhere.

I pull from EMDR, IFS, DBT, CBT, and strengths-based methods, but the focus is on what works for you.
Do you struggle with feeling good enough? Do you notice that no matter what you do or change about yourself that nagging shame voice never goes away?

I help adults like you get off the hamster wheel of self-criticism, shame, and judgment and start living a life full of empowerment, insight, and self-compassion. If you're tired of feeling like life is running you rather than the other way around, I am here to help. I practice through a social justice, HAES, and trauma-informed lens to make sure there is no part of you going unseen.

I believe that the appraoch should be tailored to the client and therefore use a wide range of evidence-based, skill building modalities, such as CBT, DBT, Narrative, Imago, & Gottman Therapy, to provide coping skills before we delve into trauma-processing.
“There is no greater agony than bearing the untold story inside you.” - Maya Angelou. Each person’s story shapes them and a burden to carry alone that is relieved when met with empathy. I consider it an honor to be present with clients as they share their untold story, gain greater self-knowledge, and manifest the story that is yet to come. I come from a place of curiosity and non-judgement around each individual’s lived experience. I hope to create a warm, accepting space where you can be your authentic self, feel safe to express your uncensored thoughts and share both laughter and tears.

I’m certified in TF- CBT, EMDR, am IFS informed, and am experienced in other evidenced-based modalities such as CBT and DBT.
When you are struggling individually or in your relationships, it can be hard to know where to begin, and harder at times to believe that getting what you need is even possible.

Through our conversations together, the therapy process can help you know yourself better and open up possibilities for deepening compassion, connection, and resilience in your life.
