COUPLES COUNSELING
Drawing on my training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I work with couples to identify their habitual ways of interacting that are barriers to closeness and intimacy. Together, I gently guide couples toward fostering renewed vulnerability and ways of relating that support closeness, connection, and safety.

I believe that access to quality, affordable mental health services are an essential human right. I have limited openings available to work with clients on a sliding scale based on individual financial need.

SPECIALTIES
TRAUMA- PTSD and CPTSD
As a Certified EMDR Therapist, my focus is on supporting client's rediscovery and connection to a sense of safety in the here on now. I draw on my training in EMDR, Internal Family Systems, and Emotionally Focused Therapy to support clients' healing from the effects of single event trauma as well as complex trauma histories.
CODEPENDENCE
Drawing on both my professional training, as well as my own lived experience, I support client's in identifying their needs, creating better boundaries, and identifying relational patterns that are no longer serving them. My approach is based on the unique needs of each client- using such tools as Attachment Based EMDR, mindfulness, 12-step recovery, and experiential therapy.
COUPLES and RELATIONSHIP COUNSELING
Drawing on my training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I support couples to identify negative patterns of interaction that contribute to conflicts and emotional distance. By understanding these patterns, and the underlying emotions driving them, couples can begin to break free from destructive cycles, resolve conflicts, and deepen their emotional bond and connection- fostering a greater sense of intimacy, trust, and satisfaction in their relationship.
DEPRESSION
My approach to treating depression is client-centered and reflects the unique, individual needs of the individual. I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and Mindfulness- as well as my own recovery and healing from depression.
ADDICTION
As a Licensed Addictions Counselor, I have worked for the the last 9 years in inpatient, outpatient, and community-based settings providing addiction counseling to individuals and families. I tailor my approach specifically to the individual, with a focus on creating course of treatment that meets each client's unique needs. In my addiction counseling practice I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Harm Reduction, Mindfulness, 12-step Recovery and Spirituality to support a client's recovery goals.
BIPOLAR DISORDER
Drawing on my years of experience working with adults with severe and persistent mental illness, I support clients in gaining an understanding of their condition and learning new strategies for self-management. I work with each client to create an individualized treatment plan to support improved management of their symptoms and developing coping strategies, and relapse prevention skills, to minimize the risk of future mood episodes- leading to healthier and more fulfilling relationships with self and others.
ANXIETY DISORDERS
Through the use of such interventions as EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Cognitive and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness, I support clients in overcoming and coping with anxiety, worry, and panic. By examining and changing engrained thinking, resolving past trauma, and supporting an improved ability to connect to the present moment, I support each client's discovery of a renewed sense of safety.
GRIEF and LOSS
The loss of a loved one, a beloved pet, a relationship, a job, the vision of the life we had for ourselves- can upend our sense of self and safety. By holding space for clients grief with compassion and presence, I support each individuals unique process of grieving.
