Meaningful therapeutic work isn’t just about doing, it’s about being.  It’s about learning how to improve our internal experience, not simply our external behaviors.  It’s figuring out how to “be” with ourselves in a more compassionate way.

When I’ve looked for a therapist of my own, I found I wanted to know more about them than just their education and training. I also want to get a feel for what it’s like to work with them. So with that in mind, let’s get the dry stuff out of the way and get into the good stuff.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor, a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist-Consultant, EMDR Certified, and have 60+ hours of training in Internal Family Systems. I have over a decade of experience helping clients heal their connection to food and their body, reclaim their lives from a history of trauma and relationship issues, and navigate the emotional turmoil that arises with PMDD and perimenopause. If you are struggling with one of these issues, I feel pretty confident that I can help you. And if you are OK with a little cursing and a some laughter sprinkled in with the tough stuff, then we’ll probably get along well.

Our sessions may look a little different from counseling you’ve done in the past. I use some talk-therapy approaches, but also heavily incorporate EMDR and IFS (Internal Family Systems) interventions. My experience has shown me that sometimes clients just hit a wall with talk-therapy; that they get to a point where they know the lingo and say all of the “right” things, but still can’t break those same old patterns of behavior. In my opinion, this is because learning from someone else can only take you so far. True transformation comes from connecting more deeply with yourself and learning to trust your own inner voice.

So, my work centers on the philosophy that the answers you need are already within you. I believe that together we can accomplish some deep and meaningful work.  Please reach out to schedule a complimentary introductory consultation.
