Do you feel like your life isn't quite where you imagined it would be? You're not alone. Many of us long for deeper connection, a sense of peace and satisfaction, but struggle to achieve this. Together, we’ll explore what maybe holding you back. I help adults navigate relationships with emotionally immature parents/adults and life transitions (e.g. college/post grad, perimenopause/menopause, caregiver for parents).

It's hard navigating what’s happening in the world. You want the best possible education and experiences for your child, and that could mean putting them in situations that expose them to racism and classism early on. Being the only or one of few is hard! The reality is that this can be confusing for your child and they often lack the tools to handle these situations. The impact on their day to day images of themselves is massive. Their once bright eyes are a little dimmer. Their trust in peers and adults lessens. Your once confident child or teen is now self-conscious, anxious, and struggles to meet unfair standards.

I have trained in Somatics, Narrative Therapy, IFS, EMDR, Body Trust, and Brainspotting.
Much of my practice centers on supporting people navigating rupture (with individuals and religious/political institutions), life/gender/body transitions and journeys, trauma, anxiety, grief, and depression. As a systems thinker, I support clients in situating and understanding their distress within the social, political, and relational conditions that shape our lives. I work especially well with justice-minded people seeking a space where grief and joy are given permission to coexist. I aim to create a container where clients can clarify what matters to them and move toward more embodied and relational ways of being.

I'm EMDR and brainspotting-trained and have substantial experience working with post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety/panic, emotional and physical abuse, shame, establishing boundaries and recovering from narcissistic and toxic relationship dynamics, LGBTQ+ and alternative lifestyles.
As a therapist and a fellow individual who is familiar with the majestic peaks and the harsh valleys of our human experience, I understand the importance of holding a secure, safe and abundantly compassionate space filled with warmth and thoughtful considerations of your challenges as you enter the therapeutic space with me. Additionally, I recognize the importance of my showing up in our shared space as an authentic person and I can guarantee that the cold clinical encounters of the typical therapy experience does not exist in my corner of the world.

My approach is personalized to your needs, drawing from EMDR, Brainspotting, and IFS, as well as CBT, DBT, and ACT.
Many people come to therapy feeling stuck in patterns that affect how we think, feel, and connect with others, and it can be hard to change them even when we understand them logically. These can include overthinking, perfectionism, people-pleasing, need for control, or insecurity in relationships. They often begin in earlier experiences, including trauma & complex trauma, and feel automatic in the present. I work in a warm, collaborative way to help you slow these patterns, understand what drives them, & shift how they show up in daily life & relationships. I work with relationships and have training in Gottman Method Couple Therapy

I am a Certified Mindfulness-Informed Professional, a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and a Brainspotting Practitioner.
If you feel anxious in relationships, disconnected from your truest self, struggle with people-pleasing, or carry self-doubt - You’re not alone. Many of us notice patterns that leave us feeling stuck: giving too much, fearing rejection, or feeling like our emotions are “too much.” Strong reactions in your body or heightened sensitivity can make these patterns feel overwhelming, leaving you disconnected from yourself. I work with women navigating anxious attachment, codependency, relationship anxiety, and self-esteem challenges. We'll explore how these patterns show up in your body, your emotions, and your relationships.

I know how infuriating it can be to find a therapist you can connect with, as I have personally fired 6 out of 7 of my own therapists. It’s important to note that I’m not your “typical therapist” (I dye my hair bright colors, will curse with you during sessions, and actively compete in powerlifting).

Since training in the bilateral therapies (EMDR, A.R.T., and Brainspotting) I've witnessed healing on a whole new level.
This is my experience, and the reason why I specialize in these deeper, more sub conscious therapies. In addition, there are times when people prefer to talk, gaining much needed insight (light bulb moments) and releasing thoughts they don't feel comfortable sharing with others.
