We all have innate wisdom about what is best for us, but it can be easy to lose sight of that. Life starts to feel like it is happening TO us. Our work together will help show that there are no bad parts of you, only parts that no longer serve you. Trauma, big life transitions/loss, and ongoing stressors can leave people feeling depressed, powerless, anxious, stuck in rumination, and grappling with their identities.  I work best with people who struggle with shame, isolation, uncertainty and feeling that they just need to try harder; this includes "people pleasers," messy family dynamics, and co-dependency.

Through curiosity, my clients will gain clarity around their values, thoughts, behaviors, and patterns, and they will also see where they can actually do LESS. I not only welcome but also encourage laughter and humor when working together. Playfulness can help lighten the load.

The specific modalities and frameworks I use are:

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

• Strengths-based and behavioral harm reduction

• Internal Family Systems/parts work

• Body awareness/somatics

I also work with the following populations:

• LGBTQIA+

• Non-traditional relational styles

• Neurodiverse

• Spiritually focused
