Imagine that little voice in your head telling you you're not good enough. That it’s all your fault. Making you relive the worst days of your life. The intrusive thoughts that cause you to question your every movement and tell you to participate in seemingly odd behaviors - or else. Notice how you have tried so hard to make it go away, but you can’t seem to shake the feeling of being stuck. My goal as your therapist is to help YOU run the show. Not your inner dialogue, your past, or your fears.
I specialize in IFS, guiding clients to reconnect with and nurture their wounded parts in a safe environment. By utilizing EMDR for trauma processing, I help clients reclaim their narratives and build resilience. I also incorporate ACT to assist clients in identifying core values and taking aligned actions for a more fulfilling, meaningful life journey.
Each session is a collaborative process, tailored to your unique needs and goals. Clients often leave feeling relieved and empowered, equipped with new skills or fresh perspectives that transform how they approach challenges. This shift can open new possibilities for personal growth and understanding, helping you navigate your circumstances more effectively.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
