For more than 10 years I have helped adolescents and adults work through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and major life transitions. As a mother of 2 boys I understand how quickly life can become overwhelming & how hard it can be to prioritize your own needs.

I believe therapy should be unique and individualized to everyone who seeks it. When something challenging happens to us, we all process our thoughts and emotions differently. With that being said, I use an integrative approach to counseling, utilizing my tools and knowledge to best help you find peace and process what’s on your mind. Together, we’ll clarify your goals, explore what’s getting in the way, and build on your existing strengths.

In my practice, I integrate IFS, attachment theory, mindfulness, and somatic experiencing, often using imagery, movement, and nature in sessions.
We all face times when we feel stuck, overwhelmed, flooded, or disconnected from who we truly are. I aim to help clients understand—and even befriend—the parts of themselves they find most difficult to live with. Once we recognize the needs these parts are trying to meet, we can move forward with more freedom and flexibility. I try to help my clients reconnect with their innate energy, wisdom, and confidence. My approach is informal, spontaneous, and deeply collaborative. I'm happy to do a free phone consultation to help answer any questions.

Many of my clients come to therapy feeling exhausted by patterns they can’t seem to break, even though they’ve tried so hard to understand them. I work with teens, adults, and couples navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, substance use concerns, and relationship wounds. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in creating emotional safety while helping clients better understand themselves and their experiences. I’m direct when needed, but always with care, and I believe humor can be an important part of healing too.

Beginning therapy can feel overwhelming, and reaching out for support is often one of the hardest steps. Whatever challenges you’re navigating, you don’t have to go through them alone. My goal is to create a space where children, adolescents, and young adults feel comfortable showing up exactly as they are.
I believe therapy should feel safe, supportive, and collaborative. Sessions are your time to focus on what matters most, and I strive to ensure you feel heard, validated, and understood, without judgment or pressure. I offer a warm, authentic, and engaging style with a little humor to make therapy feel human and approachable.

I tend towards more process-oriented approaches, including (but not limited to) Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Eye Movement Desensitizing and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR).
I believe the cornerstone to therapy is empathetic understanding paired with proactive behavioral change. Together we will create a secure place in which you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a non-judgmental way in order to understand what they are trying to provide to you. By reframing our cognitive, somatic, and behavioral actions in this way, we can learn to make sense of even the largest, scariest life experiences. With that new understanding, we will then discuss and practice applicable techniques you can utilize outside of therapy to achieve your goals in a meaningful, healthier way.

My ideal client is someone who is ready and willing to engage in the therapeutic process with openness and commitment. They may be struggling with a range of issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, or life transitions. They may also be seeking support for personal growth, self-discovery, and improving their overall well-being. Their needs include a safe and non-judgmental space to explore their thoughts and emotions, validation of their experiences, coping strategies for managing distress, and support in developing healthier patterns of thinking and behavior.

What is Internal Family Systems therapy?
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a type of talk therapy that focuses on sub-personalities, or “families,” within a person, which may be made up of wounded parts and unpleasant emotions like anger and shame. These sub-personalities can come into conflict with each other and with an individual’s core Self, leaving the person feeling detached from positive traits such as the “8 C’s” of confidence, calmness, creativity, clarity, curiosity, courage, compassion, and connectedness. By healing a patient’s wounded parts, a therapist aims to restore balance and bring on positive change.
How does Internal Family Systems therapy work?
An IFS therapist will work with a patient to identify their particular sub-personalities, recognize the emotions powering them, and release them. By doing so, the patient should become more able to address any underlying problems their sub-personalities may have been trying to protect them from. Ultimately, a patient discovers ways to manage internal and external conflicts on their own, through techniques such as relaxation exercises, journaling, and making charts depicting the relationships between their core Self and their distinct parts.
Does Internal Family Systems therapy work?
IFS therapy has been shown to help people address conditions such as depression, anxiety, panic, fears and phobias, trauma, and substance use disorders. Some research has also found that it can help individuals deal with symptoms of physical health conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, such as pain, everyday functioning, depressive feelings, and low self-compassion. There are some conditions for which IFS treatment, specifically discussions of one’s “parts,” may be less appropriate, such as schizophrenia or other states that involve psychosis or paranoia.
How long does Internal Family Systems therapy take?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for IFS therapy. After becoming comfortable with a therapist and the core concepts of IFS, some patients quickly make progress. While experiences vary, most will find that it is a relatively longer-term therapy, involving months and sometimes years of sessions.
