Resolve the unresolvable.

My practice is focused on trauma processing and I have expertise in working with clients with dissociative disorders, personality disorders, PTSD, and other diagnoses that stem from traumatic or complex experiences that make it difficult for clients to function in many aspects of their lives or maintain important relationships.

My clinical approach is rooted in Internal Family System Therapy. IFS is an evidenced based therapeutic model that explores the complexities of each individual through working with our parts. Through this work, we expand our capacity to extend curiosity, compassion, and care towards our unique parts that make us whole. In my work as a trauma therapist and as a client, I have found the IFS model a deeply validating, normalizing, and gentle way to work through processing trauma. I’ve done my own healing through the IFS model and to put it plainly (and perhaps dramatically), it has changed (maybe even saved!) my life. I have completed IFS Level One training through the IFS institute and continue to engage in consultation with IFS certified practitioners and as a Program Assistant for level one trainings.

I come to the field of mental health with an eclectic background as a theater artist and educator. I deeply value collaboration and approaching the counseling relationship with authenticity and a nonjudgmental attitude. I’m interested in what works for you and come to the therapy room with genuine curiosity. What brought you to therapy may have been difficult and painful. I don’t think healing has to be those things. Beyond IFS, I incorporate Family Systems, Emotion-Focused, Gestalt, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, expressive arts,  and somatic interventions.

When I am not working as a counselor, I love engaging with the performing arts, listening to podcasts, and spending time with my cats. I am an avid pickle enthusiast.
