You are not alone. No one goes through life without facing challenges or without suffering. Everyday life often spurs mental health challenges which can weigh us down and make us feel stuck. Chronic anxiety, depression, problematic reactions to trauma, issues in relationships, self-criticism, issues with substances/food, and a host of other common mental health related challenges indicate a need for help. Life transitions and experiences of loss/grief are also times when help is often needed. While no one can escape challenges or suffering, wounds can be healed, and a life centered in solid mental health is possible for everyone.
I can help you explore and process your thoughts, feelings and behaviors, and facilitate inner work with the parts of you that drive mental health challenges. I can help you gain self-understanding, and help you find and utilize your own inner wisdom and healing energy, with the ultimate aim of feeling better and bringing your mental health into balance.
I provide a safe, non-judgmental, compassionate space where all experiences are welcome. I would be honored to walk with you on your path, and to support you in your journey, wherever it takes you. If you are ready to see change in your life, I’d love to partner with you. Please email me if you’d like to connect and explore whether we’d be a good fit.

In my work with clients, I focus on both 'front end' aspects of daily life that may be contributing to anxiety/depression and 'back end' root causes. Whether qualifications are met for a PTSD diagnosis or not, we are all impacted by the events, experiences, and dynamics of our lives. I consider trauma to be anything that causes psychological wounding. Therapy can help you heal those wounds.

I primarily utilize person-centered and IFS therapy. Person-centered therapy fosters exploration and processing of your thoughts, feelings and behaviors within a therapeutic relationship, and IFS therapy facilitates inner work with the parts of you that drive thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. When fitting I weave in aspects of other orientations as well.
