COVID-19 brought unplanned transitions to all of us. On top of that, you may be experiencing relationship changes, job loss, and the rest of life's usual changes. These transitions can be uprooting and unbelievably stressful to navigate. Let's work together to find equilibrium again.

I am a Level One-trained Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist, and IFS underlies much of the work that I do. We are not monolithic; each of us has many sides or parts to ourselves. If you ever struggle with mixed feelings, experience strong emotions or memories that you don't understand, or carry thoughts or beliefs that upset you, then IFS may be a good fit for you.

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is based on the belief that it is our thoughts that influence our feelings and our actions. By understanding your thought patterns, you can begin to recognize and challenge negative thoughts that may be holding you back. CBT is especially effective for anxiety and depression.

Solution-Focused Therapy is based on the assumption that we all have the strengths and resources to solve our own problems. I will use solution-focused techniques to help you highlight and expand upon your inner resources. Solution-Focused Therapy can bring change quickly.

Whether it's racing thoughts, panic attacks, or a persistent pit in your stomach, anxiety can be debilitating. I will work with you to practice strategies to bring peace and calm to your mind and your body. I also bring a curiosity as to how the anxiety began in the first place. We will aim to find better ways of functioning and managing stress.

I think of depression as a "stuck-ness;" we will work together to return movement and help you begin to come "un-stuck." My focus will be on ways to alleviate depression both externally (sleeping, eating, relationships) and internally (thoughts, memories, worries). There can be a "burdened" feeling that comes with depression. We will look at relieving that burden to restore hope and energy.
