I utilize a holistic approach that blends components of CBT, ACT, Meditation, Mindfulness, Compassion Based practices and Brainspotting (a type of Focused Mindfulness that suggests "where you look affects how you feel").
"What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" asked the poet, Mary Oliver. I've been thinking about this every day since the first time I read it. It's some question, isn't it? Sometimes it inspires me. Sometimes it frightens me. Since it always challenges me, I've rooted my practice philosophy in it. It's kind of like the adult version of “what do you want to be when you grow up”? How in the world do we answer that?

I tend to use a combination of DBT, art therapy, Brainspotting & dream analysis.
"Health is a state of complete harmony of the body, mind and spirit." ~B.K.S. Iyengar * * * A healthy mind is just as important as a healthy body and a healthy soul. My goal is to partner with you in looking at your life-story, and identifying and overcoming the blockages to a peaceful way of being. Psychotherapy is a wonderful opportunity to find balance and restore a sense of wholeness and perspective on our purpose in life. I provide a safe, supportive and non-judgmental space in my practice for this to occur.

Three of the approaches that I enjoy using in therapy sessions are Brainspotting, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Somatic Experiencing.
The approach that I take in therapy is trauma-informed care, which encompasses many different approaches in one. Trauma-informed care is humanistic and person-centered, so I view each client as unique, just as they are.

Holistic approach combines mindfulness, focusing, non-violent communication, couples and sex therapy, tantra, slow sex, qigong, brainspotting, CBT.
Are you looking for a roadmap to create exceptional relationships and optimal sexuality? You’re driven and successful, but deep down, something feels off. Maybe you feel lonely, craving deeper connection, or stressed out and disconnected from your desires. If you're single, finding the right relationship might feel frustrating. Or maybe you argue with a partner over needing more emotional closeness. Perhaps your sex life has suffered, with performance anxiety or mismatched desire leaving you feeling discontent. If you're in or considering an open relationship, navigating boundaries and differing values can be a challenge.

Ever wondered if your experiences could be rooted in trauma?

With genuine passion, I specialize in gently guiding individuals through these challenges, empowering you to recognize and address these patterns, and overcome barriers to the happiness you deserve. Additionally, I have training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy to help couples with communication, conflict resolution, and more.

Using evidence-based approaches like CBT, ACT, and Brainspotting, we’ll quiet the inner critic and create space for self-acceptance.
You hide it well—but that doesn’t mean it’s not there. The overthinking. The self-doubt. The pressure to be ‘good enough.’ But the ‘what ifs’ never stop. What if I say the wrong thing? What if they saw the real me—and walked away? What if, no matter how much I try, things still don’t work out? As the cycle of overthinking takes hold, you find yourself constantly second-guessing every choice, held back by a relentless inner critic that keeps you stuck, making it hard to fully show up as your true self—leaving you exhausted and isolated. But this doesn’t have to be your reality and you don’t have to carry this alone.

Most of my professional training has been in trauma healing, energy psychology, & dialectical behavior therapy; I'm also a certified brainspotting therapist.
I'm a licensed therapist & coach who has practiced as a licensed clinical social worker for 13+ years. As a therapist, I feel strongly that we heal effectively when treated as a whole person.

I work from a neorodiversity-affirming lens and utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma Focused-CBT, and Brainspotting.
Are you tired of holding it all together? All your life, you’ve had to be the best, do the best, and rise above your family trauma. At first, the load wasn’t that heavy. But now you’re not sure how much longer you can be the one everyone counts on. You’re exhausted by the pursuit of perfection. And for once you’d like permission to underachieve. To everyone else, you seem confident, successful, and put together. But they don’t know you’re struggling to keep yourself from crumbling to pieces. If it feels like too much, it’s because it is too much. You shouldn’t have to live every day holding on for dear life.

I’m intensively trained in DBT, Brainspotting 1 and 2, and perinatal mental health through PSI.
You constantly think about food and dieting and want the cycle to end. You emotionally eat or binge/purge to escape. You struggle getting dressed because you hate your body. You want to diet but every time you do, you lose the weight and regain. You’re tired of the rollercoaster.
