There is no place out-of-bounds on your healing journey. Every part of you and your story is welcome. All of your experiences and feelings are trailheads to a new healing path. I desire to meet with you for a season, not forever, to dive deep at your pace so you can move on and experience your life to the fullest.

Highly sensitive persons (HSPs)
Individual Therapy
I help you access your innate ability to heal by utilizing the Internal Family Systems (IFS) approach. It is a comprehensive and evidence-based therapeutic model that facilitates compassionate exploration of the many parts within you so that you can heal and live life from your most authentic self.
Couples Therapy
I help motivated couples work through attachment ruptures, communication issues, intimacy problems, infertility, loss, and other life stressors. Together, we can cultivate healthy connections and healing with attachment-based and IFS/IFIO-informed approaches.
Your body can be a trailhead toward a new healing path
Your body tells a story. For this reason, I always integrate body awareness and somatic work with IFS, mindful of the interconnectedness of our physiology, health history, and general health with emotional health. I do this through:
Using Polyvagal Theory to guide us into a deeper understanding and healing of the nervous system
Encouraging the exploration of natural ways to optimize brain functioning and general health
Referrals to massage therapists, functional medicine doctors, and other holistic practitioners to help the body heal faster and holistically
As a yoga teacher, I can integrate physical movement into IFS as we work on parts and will soon provide trauma-sensitive yoga sessions.
Each of us comes to our healing path with a unique perspective on life. This includes the spiritual beliefs- implicit or explicit. All spiritual beliefs and practices are welcome here. I am uniquely skilled to integrate Christian spirituality into your healing journey, if that is your desire, while also being keenly mindful of religious trauma.
