Seeking out a therapist can be a daunting task, especially if you don't have a clear understanding of what to expect, or even why you are looking. Often, we find ourselves saying out loud "I really should get a therapist" almost on impulse when things feel, well, off. Then, we get a little further along and we decide "actually, I think I'm good". Other times, someone in our life has told us we should get therapy, and we have decided to finally give it a go. Together, we will begin to identify patterns, learn to interact in new ways, and improve the quality of our lives both when we feel disrupted and when we feel in control.

You feel no matter how hard you try, it is just not good enough. You feel like you a drowning in a pile of “to do” list that seems to never end. You crave balance in your day, but wonder how to have balance when pulled in so many different directions. You feel overwhelmed & overstimulated with racing thoughts, daily responsibilities, & the never ending to do list. You have an inner critic who tells you that you’re not good enough for your partner (or deserving of a partner), your kids (or future kids). You feel a sense of guilt & shame you’re not “measuring up” to those around you, much less the aspirations you have for yourself.

I specialize in working with people who want to work towards bettering their relationship with themselves and others, with those struggling to maintain a balance between respecting individual needs within the context of cultural and family expectations, with those who have experienced trauma and/or loss, and with people who are looking to build and expand upon their existing coping skills. I strive to maintain an inclusive, brave space. I encourage therapy to be a brave place, and not a safe place, because it is very brave to show up and work on getting out of the safety of the known and to work towards fostering a better future.

Healing isn’t a straight path—it’s an evolving journey. As we navigate life’s twists, sometimes we find ourselves needing to heal the same wounds in deeper ways. I work with women who are ready to explore the layers of their inner child, untangle the stories they've carried, and reclaim their authenticity. Whether you're an artist, healer, or someone familiar with the therapeutic process, I offer a creative, compassionate space to reconnect with the parts of you that have been silenced. Together, through Narrative therapy, Internal Family Systems, and expressive arts, we’ll rewrite your story and invite healing at your own pace.

It's time to get up, but the day ahead feels too overwhelming. You've missed out on so much, and you worry what will happen next and what everyone will think. You feel powerless to change, and you’re so tired of trying things that don’t work. No one understands why you can’t just move forward, and you may feel completely alone. I want you to know that you’re not crazy, and things don't have to be like this forever. My clients report a deeper level of healing as they feel more connected to their bodies, experience more ease in their daily lives, and re-discover their strength and resilience.

I am particularly passionate about serving individuals in the neurodivergent, BIPOC, and/or LGBTQIA+ communities. As a member of all three communities, I know that these three identities often intersect to affect our mental health, most often in a negative way. I want to help my clients understand the many different ways in which they intersect and take steps to use those intersections to their advantage.

In our first session we will discuss working together on-line. I use a combination of IFS (Internal Family Systems) and EMDR. IFS is an extraordinary therapy. In safe, gentle, respectful ways, IFS accesses and TRANSFORMS that which is the cause of your problems: your hidden and not-so-hidden fears, shame, anger, hurt… why you have negative thinking (I’m not good enough, things are not the way I want them to be), as well as the negative ways you may be acting (in anger, critical, impatient, abusing substances). I use a special on-line platform for EMDR which I am finding works well.

In an unprecedented world, we have unprecedented feelings. Whether you’re still healing, or sprouting beyond wreckage, it would be a tremendous honor to be there with you. Every person I meet has a special set of challenges and a unique personality. As we get to know each other, I can tailor our approach to therapy over time to pull from different bases of knowledge. I have an ongoing commitment with myself to decolonizing my therapy practice. Together, we can achieve the velocity of escaping the stories we have been socialized into without our permission.
