Types of Services Offered 

I offer individual therapy to adults and teens seeking a deeper understanding of themselves and more connected ways of relating to themselves and others. Together, we can explore the patterns, experiences, and stories that shape your life while creating space for growth, self-compassion, and meaningful change.

​

I bring a trauma-informed lens to our work, which means we move at your pace, with your nervous system in mind. My work draws on attachment theory to help understand how your early experiences of connection — what felt safe, what felt uncertain, what you learned to do to get your needs met — may still be quietly shaping how you show up today. There's no judgment in that exploration, only curiosity.

​

I don't adhere to one strict approach. I often pull from various modalities depending on what resonates for a particular client. At times, I draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS) — an approach that invites you to get to know the different parts of yourself with compassion rather than frustration. The inner critic, the people-pleaser, the part that shuts down — these aren't problems to fix. They're protective strategies that made sense at some point, and we can work with them gently.

​

Alongside this, I weave in somatic (body-based) approaches, because our bodies hold so much of what our minds have learned to work around. Paying attention to what's happening physically can open up pathways to healing that thinking alone can't always reach.

​

As someone who loves the outdoors and being active, I'm also passionate about supporting people struggling with injuries or chronic pain and how that impacts their sense of identity, self-worth, and community that bring meaning and purpose to their lives.

​

You don't need to come in knowing exactly what you need. Most people don't. That's something we can figure it out together.

I work with couples navigating conflict, disconnection, communication challenges, and painful relational cycles. Using a relational and attachment-based approach, I support partners in slowing down, understanding the emotions underneath conflict, and creating more secure, compassionate, and connected relationships.

​

So much of what couples fight about isn't really about what they're fighting about. Beneath the arguments about chores, parenting, or how one person never seems to listen — there's usually something deeper: a fear of not mattering, a longing for closeness that isn't quite landing, a protective move that the other person experiences as an attack. I'm trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an approach that helps couples identify these underlying patterns and the attachment needs driving them, so you can start responding to each other instead of just reacting.

​

I also draw from Relational Life Therapy (RLT), which brings a direct, compassionate honesty to the work. We'll look at how each partner's history — the ways they learned to adapt, protect, or perform — plays out in the relationship, and invites both people into a more grounded, connected way of showing up for each other.

​

Whatever brought you here, the fact that you're looking for support, is a courageous place to start.

I offer family therapy from a systemic perspective, meaning we look at the whole picture — not just individual behavior, but the patterns, roles, and dynamics that develop over time and shape how everyone relates to each other. My approach focuses on fostering open communication, deeper understanding, and stronger connection while creating space for each family member to feel heard and supported.

​

Families develop their own languages, rhythms, and rules over time — and many of those rules were never spoken out loud. Who gets to show anger. Whose feelings take up space. What topics get quietly avoided. Working from an attachment-based lens, we'll look at how these unspoken expectations shape the way family members relate to each other, and where they might be creating distance or tension without anyone fully realizing it.

​

The goal isn't to assign blame or identify who's the problem — it never works that way. Instead, we slow down and get curious together about the patterns that have formed, often across generations, and what each person needs to feel more secure and connected within the family. When people feel genuinely heard, something usually shifts.

​

Family therapy can look different depending on who's in the room and what you're working through. What stays consistent is a commitment to making space for every voice — and helping your family build something that works better for everyone in it.

A Note on Insurance​

I am not in-network with any insurances. Working outside of insurance means I'm not required to assign you a mental health diagnosis — which would otherwise become part of your permanent record. It also means your diagnostic information, session notes, and authorizations stay between us, with no third party involved in your care.

​

As both the client and therapist it allows for more freedom as well. We're not locked into a set number of sessions or at risk of coverage ending just because things are improving. We move at your pace, not an insurance company's timeline. That freedom also means therapy can look however it needs to — a walk-and-talk along the creek, a session in the park, or whatever helps you show up most fully. And rather than being limited to an in-network list, you get to choose based on fit and feel.

​

For couples and family therapy specifically, insurance often won't cover it at all — relational stress and personal growth aren't recognized as mental health diagnoses, so many plans simply exclude them. Having a provider out-of-network means you don't have to justify why you're seeking support.

​

I recognize that not taking insurance may not make therapy accessible for everyone, which is why I keep a number of reduced-rate spots available. If cost is a concern, please don't hesitate to reach out — I'm happy to talk through what might work.
