About my approach

Resolve the unresolvable.

My clinical approach is rooted in Internal Family System Therapy. IFS is an evidenced based therapeutic model that seeks to support understanding the complexities of each individual through their parts. Through this work, we seek to extend curiosity, compassion, and care towards our unique parts that make us whole. In my work as a trauma therapist and as a client, I have found the IFS model a deeply validating, normalizing, and gentle way to work through processing trauma. I have completed IFS Level One training through the IFS institute and continue to engage in consultation with IFS certified practitioners.

I come to the field of mental health with an eclectic background as a theater artist and educator. I deeply value collaboration and approaching the counseling relationship with authenticity and a nonjudgmental attitude. As a therapist, I’m interested interpersonal and emotionally focused theories that seek to explore why and how we show up in relationships with others. Beyond IFS, I incorporate Family Systems, Emotion-Focused, Gestalt, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy,  and somatic interventions.

When I am not working as a counselor, I love engaging with the arts, listening to podcasts, and spending time with my cats. I am an avid pickle enthusiast.
