My approach

My approach to therapy stems from a place of respect and empathy for the human experience. I am client-centered, viewing individuals through the lens of my training in Family Systems Theory. I believe that individuals, couples and group members are unique members of a system that have a culture and a rhythm of their own. ​I draw from many therapeutic styles including CBT, DBT, Ego State Therapy/Parts Work, Motivational Interviewing, Polyvagal Theory and Family Systems Therapy. I am trained in Basic Clinical Hypnosis, Brainspotting and EMDR. 

For me, therapeutic relationships are first a privilege, then a journey. Growth is an often uncomfortable and sometimes painful process. When we are in our most basic survival modes of fight, flight or freeze, it can be hard to visualize a light at the end of the tunnel. In my practice, It has been my honor to guard and reflect hope for my clients as they navigate through challenges. I use compassion to encourage growing insight along the path to healing. I work with adults only.

Many experience symptoms associated with painful and traumatic circumstances. Anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are a few emotions that can linger after traumatic events. I can help you work through these symptoms and guide you through grief and healing. I specialize in Complex PTSD and specifically Dissociative Disorders.

Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most uncomfortbale, yet common emotions that we can experience. I can help you recover motivation, perspective, and direction in your life. We will work to identify healthy connections and communication. I can teach valuable coping skills and help you implement important boundaries. 

Sibling and family relationships can be transformed through the willingness to grow together. Counseling can be beneficial to couples who are looking to strengthen their emotional connection and communication in all stages of their relationship.
