It is miserable to feel stuck. Stuck in the past, stuck in moving forward, stuck in depression or anxiety. We want to feel a sense of purpose, and that we can live fully in the present and have a vision for the future, no matter our circumstances. There are a number of things that can make us feel stuck, such as trauma, unresolved grief, shame, broken relationships, a fear of failure, and spiritual struggles. Sometimes couples feel stuck in working through difficult issues and the resulting anger and hurt. We all go through these times in our lives and may come to a point when we realize that we need some help to move forward.
I often work with individuals using a model called Internal Family Systems, which helps us to understand and transform the different parts of ourselves that seem to overwhelm and control us at times, freeing us to be led by our core Self. I am trained in EMDR, an evidence-based trauma therapy. I also provide spiritually integrated psychotherapy.
I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space, validating your feelings and experiences as you learn new ways of being in the world. I respect and actively support who you are no matter your faith, ethnic and cultural background, gender identity, or past history. It's through facing and finding healing for our wounds that we move from surviving to thriving.

I am aware that some have a background of being hurt by religious organizations or people in power in those organizations. With my background, I understand the harm that religious abuse causes and can help you process that pain and find healing. I am a strong advocate of the use of meditative and mindfulness practices that are centering in our body and spirit, instilling in us a sense of peace.
