My Ideal Client

I have specific training in the areas listed below, however each person is unique. You may be coming in because of increased anxiety at work, and we discover some beliefs that originated from childhood. We don't always know what we'll find, and usually end up on a colorful journey. This is the meaningful (and sometimes scary!) part of therapy.

How I Can Help You

Some reasons you might want to work with me... 1) I focus on depth work. Meaning, I help unpack long-standing beliefs/feelings/behaviors and get to the good stuff, like better understanding your own inner world. 2) My specialties include: unpacking family-of-origin and childhood experiences, eating disorder recovery/body image, religious trauma, and couples/partner work. 3) I kick my shoes off (literally). In other words, I bring my authentic self to the room. You'll see my humor, curiosity, directness and warmth from the jump. I keep 3 beverages on my desk and the fidgets are for both of us. I can help you hold all the things we unpack. You're not alone on this journey and I'd be honored to 'go there' with you. This is a big step, so let's hop on the phone and see if it's a match.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

For curious minds, I also have a life outside the room. I'm a Great Dane mom, horse girl, micro-hobbyist, CrossFitter, and lifelong learner (nerd).

Techniques I Use

Issues I Treat

Specialties

  • Relationship / Marriage Issues External link

    Relationships matter deeply to us. And when they’re not going well, it can be all-consuming. You may be eager to change something (anything) but unsure what will actually work. And then you wonder, “Is it really bad enough to go to therapy?” You and your partner may be stuck in the same arguments, misunderstandings, or patterns that seem to repeat. Sometimes about the laundry, sometimes about who initiates intimacy. I encourage partners to access the feelings driving their behavior.

  • Eating Disorder External link

    Specializing in athletes, ex-athletes, or high-achievers healing from rigid food and exercise rules. I use a Health At Every Size® (HAES®) framework and believe every body is unique. I’m anti-diet culture, and recognize disordered eating can exist in any body size. May include collaboration with a broader care team. I am not a replacement for intensive care and do not treat cases where a higher level of care is needed (i.e. daily support).

  • Spirituality External link

    When faith environments involve fear, control, or conditional belonging, the impact can linger long after belief changes. Religious trauma and deconstruction often touch identity, trust, relationships, sexuality and your sense of meaning. This may also include high-control political groups.

  • Anxiety External link

    If your mind won’t slow down and you’re always bracing for what’s next, you’re not broken… Your system is working overtime. Anxiety often shows up as hypervigilance, looping thoughts, or a constant sense of urgency that’s hard to turn off. Exhausting? Yup.
