Internal Family Systems (IFS)

As an IFS Level 1 trained therapist, I help clients make sense of the internal monologues and sudden reactions that don't quite feel like "us." We all have different "parts"—some that work hard to protect us, while others hold old pain. Guided by the belief that there are no bad parts, I will help you safely connect with your true, calm self. Together, we can gently untangle these inner conflicts, heal past wounds, and bring lasting balance and self-trust back to your life.

Narrative 

I operate on the core belief: you are not the problem; the problem is the problem. Over time, we often adopt negative stories about who we are, shaped by painful experiences or outside expectations. These narratives can easily leave us feeling stuck. I will help you safely unpack the stories you carry, separating your true identity from the issues you face. Together, we will rewrite your narrative, empowering you to move forward with clarity and confidence.

Somatic Therapy (Body Centered)

Somatic therapy recognizes that our bodies hold onto past experiences just as much as our minds do. Trauma and chronic stress often get trapped in the nervous system, leaving us feeling disconnected or overwhelmed. Rather than just talking through your struggles, we will gently tune into your physical sensations. Together, we will collaboratively explore these cues, helping your body release stored tension, regulate your nervous system, and restore a deep, lasting sense of safety.

Art Therapy

Sometimes words just aren't enough to express deep pain or complex emotions. In my art therapy practice, you absolutely do not need to be "good at art." We will use creative expression collaboratively, gently inviting your mind and body to safely share what lies beneath the surface. Together, we will use imagery and materials to process trauma, ease anxiety, and unlock new insights, empowering you to heal and find your authentic voice in a deeply personal way.

Experiential

Existential therapy tackles the deep, often unspoken questions of life: meaning, purpose, and the anxiety that comes with uncertainty. It is completely normal to feel lost, isolated, or overwhelmed by big transitions. Rather than just treating symptoms, we will collaboratively explore what truly matters to you. Together, we will navigate these very human struggles, empowering you to make authentic choices, embrace your freedom, and build a deeply meaningful life.

LGBTQ Issues

In working with the LGBTQIA2S+ community, I know how difficult this world can be to navigate. Unfortunately, due to historically oppressive systems, experiences of trauma are an all too common occurrence among our community. Yet, the resilience of our community is inspiring and healing. Utilizing intersectional-feminist and systems lens, as well as elements of popular education, I am passionate about working with our community to both grieve the systemic harm and co-create resilience!

PTSD

Traumatic experiences change the way we see and experience the world. They also often rob us of our ability to trust ourselves. I hope to collaborate with you to create safety in the therapeutic relationship and build a toybox of skills and tools to ease the daily distress. With this safety, these skills, and my experience and training we will begin reprocessing and integrating the experiences that robbed you of peace and trust in self, such that you are empowered to reclaim it!

Gender Identity

Our experiences of gender, especially for queer, trans, and non-binary folks, are most often complicated by the world and communities around us. I work to remove barriers to obtaining gender-affirming care and support gender-expansive clients in self-love and discovery in the process of understanding our gender(ed/less) experience. I look forward to witnessing and supporting you on this often wonderful, sometimes painful, nearly always rewarding process of unearthing your most authentic self!

Loss or Grief

There is no doubt that grief and loss are processes that we experience as a result of death. However, grief and loss are all too commonly relegated solely to the realm of death loss, ignoring the fact that being a human presents everyday experiences of grief and loss. Loss of time, expectations, relationships, to name a few, are often disenfranchised, resulting in exacerbated and unnamed grief. I work to validate these everyday losses and support you in navigating grief regardless of its causes.

Dissociative Disorder (DD)

Dissociation is our body's way of disconnecting from overwhelming experiences (thoughts, feelings, identity, reality). Dissociation can feel terrifying, comforting, and frustrating when we feel like we don't have a choice in the matter. I've been trained and have much experience working with folks on dissociative symptoms on the spectrum from daydreaming to depersonalization/derealization, as well as Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). Let's work together to put you back in the driver's seat.
