About My Clients

If you’re ready for change, I’m ready to be with you through it. I may be the right fit if you believe your coping skills are only getting you so far, find that therapy didn’t “hit the spot" in the past, or you’ve previously had success with traditional talk therapy but would like to dive deeper into your inner world. My energy is best-suited for folks who are interested in, open to, or curious about longer-term (6 mo +) work and are really ready for life to look, feel, and be different.

My Background and Approach

I'm an Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist. I encourage your parts to express themselves in ways that feel most authentic, and I love to therapeutically incorporate the things that make you you - music, art, reading and writing, a relationship with nature, spiritual practices, etc. This healing work is yours, and we'll collaborate to ensure the journey feels authentic. You can expect sessions with me to be connected, intuitive, and insightful. At the same time, sessions with me are full of laughter, fervor, and encouragement. I have a non-directive approach to therapy, meaning I'll keep us moving (safely) down the river towards your goals without exerting influence over the river's natural flow. Last - and most importantly – I deeply believe in this work. The author Matt Kahn shares, “people can only meet you, as deeply as they’ve met themselves.” I have met myself deeply, and I feel strongly about my ability to hold safe space for you to do the same.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I’ve lived a lot of lives before becoming a therapist - I have an undergraduate degree in Management of Aging Services, served in the U.S. Army for 6 years, and have since supported folks in various professional roles as a crisis counselor, sexual assault case manager, funeral director, and home funeral educator. My life's motto is "let's see about it" and I love novelty and trying new things. I also ensure I regularly get out of my comfort zone and seek healthy doses of Type-II fun. I read like it's going out of style (especially horror and psychological thrillers). I feel most creative doing pottery and I feel most at ease in natural bodies of water. I'm an INFJ, Virgo Sun, Cancer Rising, and Pisces Moon, and I'm on my spiritual path. I read oracle and I'm training in animal communication.
