IFS

For 20 years I have provided compassionate, expert care to individuals of all ages, couples and families as an integrative cognitive behavioral therapist (CBT). My goal as your therapist is to help you improve what is already working, gain tools for what isn't and reduce pain and suffering immediately. You will consistently leave my office with tools you can implement in your daily life and relationships. I see therapy as an opportunity to slow down the frantic pace of life and explore ways to cope, regain control of life's challenges and rebuild or enrich relationships.

I am competent in both individual and couples therapy. As a trained therapist I help couples work as a team against the enemies of their relationship (addictions, trauma, affairs, etc.). I also effectively help teens, college age and older adults deal with depression, anxiety, family and life transition challenges.

Therapy works when motivation to change meets with expertise and a safe healing relationship. Due to my non-judgmental, individualized and holistic treatment approach my clients routinely say how surprisingly easy it is to open up and talk to me. It would be a privilege to work with you too.

For nearly a decade, I’ve been dedicated to supporting teens, young adults, and adults as they navigate anxiety, depression, and negative self-beliefs. My approach is to work alongside you in finding and nurturing your strengths while addressing and releasing the burdens from the past that are impacting your present. I’m passionate about guiding you through a deeper understanding of anxiety and depression, not just to manage these feelings, but to truly begin feeling more at ease and empowered in your daily life.

I am skilled in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Art and Play Therapy, and Mindfulness techniques.

I am confident that as we work to uncover the negative self-beliefs, we can create a healing environment to decrease symptoms of depression, anxiety, or other issues that may be weighing you down in your life. I would be honored to have the chance to work with you and be part of your journey.

As a Ph.D., (LMFT), I bring over 20 years of experience helping people navigate trauma, relationship challenges, addiction, life transitions, stress/anxiety/depression, & patterns that no longer serve them. Each of us suffers in our own unique way so whether you’re navigating a specific diagnosis or feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of where to begin, you can expect to be met with compassion, no-judgement, and respect. Your journey will include gaining deeper self-awareness, practical tools for managing your challenges, & gaining a clearer understanding of your emotions & relationships.

Our work together focuses on developing deeper self-awareness, tools to manage challenges, & building a clearer understanding of your emotions, behaviors, & relationships. I use an integrative, eclectic approach that blends many therapies tailored to your individual needs such as IFS, CBT, DBT & psychodynamic therapy to best assist you in your journey.

I'm committed to creating a safe, supportive, & trusting environment where you can process difficulties, reconnect with your authentic self, & move toward greater well-being. If you’re seeking a space to work on your mental health, cultivate healthier patterns, or feel more like yourself again, I would be honored to walk alongside you on that journey.

I love working with children ages 8+, teens and their parents to achieve an outcome that is personal to each individual. Most of my clients are individuals dealing with past or present trauma, chronic pain, ADHD, or family changes like death or divorce. One of my strengths is creating a supportive environment for parents and children as they work through challenges together. I strive to build and maintain a therapeutic relationship that is genuine and authentic. By building this relationship and understanding you, I am able to better empathize, and teach healthy tools I myself have used to overcome loss and grief in my own life.

I am qualified to use EMDR and trained specifically in utilizing EMDR to help clients overcome chronic pain. As a seasoned therapist, I provide individuals with tools to help you through life’s toughest problems and losses. My favorite modalities include CBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), DBT, play and art therapy, attachment theory and mindfulness.

When working with clients, my main focus is the relationship. In getting to know you, my hope is to connect with how your everyday activities relate to your growth and help you find the root of your challenges. I can help you find relief from past painful events and would love to have the chance to be part of your journey.

I am passionate about helping my clients find growth, health, strength, and happiness in relationships and in life. I enjoy helping people work through anxiety, depression, self-esteem, identity, perfectionism, relationship issues, and LGBTQ+ issues.

I collaborate with my clients to identify personalized and unique solutions to create lasting, meaningful change. I have training in a variety of models, including EFT, contemporary gestalt, and EMDR.

I am looking forward to being a part of your journey toward health!

I offer kind, upbeat support to help you work through life’s most difficult challenges. Therapy with me is practical, collaborative, and focused on helping you feel better—not someday, but starting now. I believe the strongest predictors of meaningful change are the relationship you have with your therapist, feeling like we’re a good fit, having hope that things can improve, and being given the right tools to take action. My role is to create a supportive space where you feel understood, encouraged, and empowered, while also providing concrete strategies you can use in your everyday life. Together, we’ll focus on building momentum so change feels possible and sustainable.

I engage deeply in the therapeutic process. I approach counseling in a thoughtful and analytical way, taking time to understand patterns, underlying factors, and individualized strategies that will best support each client. I enjoy working with clients who appreciate a reflective, insight-oriented, and structured approach, including bright and motivated college-aged individuals.

I may be a particularly strong fit for individuals experiencing Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), as I value evidence-based practices and bring patience, attention to detail, and consistency into my work.

I am passionate about helping clients build skills, deepen self-understanding, and navigate challenges with clarity and confidence.

It can be really hard to watch your child struggle with big emotions, behavior challenges, or feeling misunderstood. Maybe they get overwhelmed quickly, have trouble managing anger, or seem stuck in patterns that aren’t working for them. You might feel unsure how to help—or exhausted from trying everything yourself.

I work with children, teens, and young adults who are navigating emotional regulation challenges, behavioral concerns, and neurodevelopmental differences such as autism. I have experience supporting individuals diagnosed with ASD and conduct-related concerns, and I focus on helping them better understand their emotions and building new coping skills.

I aim to create a space that feels safe, supportive, and non-judgmental. I’m kind, empathetic, and genuinely care about helping you or your child improve quality of life. At the same time, I’ll work collaboratively with you to create meaningful change and growth.

I am a professional that most find extremely easy to talk to. I have honed the skill of therapeutic maneuverability which means my clients get what they need in therapy, whether it is someone to listen to them and help process thoughts or to give them tools and help develop skills to be the best possible version of themselves. I am very validating and edifying at times, but I don't sugarcoat what needs to be said. I see the capacity of people without judgement, what is important to me is where you are and where you want to be going. I have skills in working with individuals, couples, and families from all sorts of backgrounds.

I specialize in getting individuals, couples and families unstuck. I help individuals get unstuck from depression, anxiety and help them connect to the world in a more functional, fulfilled way. I help couples get unstuck from the cycle of abuse and impulsive decisions that ruin marriages and families from dysfunctional communication patterns.

We are surrounded by comparisons and judgements that illicit shame and leave us feeling broken and unworthy. In my office you can feel safe and accepted. It is a space of confidentiality, positivity, and growth. I invite you to meet with me to start your journey of accepting your own tremendous capacity to heal, forgive, love, and to honor yourself.
