Life's challenges sometimes leave us stuck, until we realize it is those challenges keys to our future happiness. I'm here to help you unlock that. Whether it's a sounding board, depth work, understanding what your mind and body are telling you, symptoms you are looking to address, or repeat actions you know are harmful yet keep repeating, I am here to help you along your journey.
I use a variety of techniques, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, traditional talk therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction to overcome challenges in the areas of trauma, relationships, anxiety, depression, identity (sexuality/gender), perfectionism, shame, and other hurdles bringing you or your relationship down.
Starting this process can be challenging, especially if you have parts of you that are scared to reach out, fearful of the process, or concerned about money. Email and lets setup a Zoom consult. I will help if I can or point you in a direction that will.

My focus is not on simply treating symptoms, but understanding where in our experience these developed and working with that. Symptoms are our body's way of coping with stressors. So while my training is primarily in trauma and relationships, I work with a variety of issues which stem from unpleasant (maybe not traumatic) experiences in our past.

I use a combination of different modalities of treatment depending on what your challenges may be and how deep your system is ready to go, which we uncover in the first few sessions and build a plan together. I generally start with IFS unless there is indication for crisis intervention first.
