Treatment Approach

I provide individual and couples therapy to adults and teens ages 17+ from a client-centered, trauma-informed and strengths-based approach. I typically incorporate elements from several therapeutic modalities in order to tailor your treatment specifically to you and your needs. My approaches include:

  • Lifespan Integration

  • Attachment-Based Therapy

  • Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)

  • Psychedelic Integration Therapy

  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

  • Mindfulness

  • Polyvagal Theory

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS)

  • Emotion-Focused Therapy

  • Gottman Couples Therapy

I work from a social justice oriented, feminist, anti-oppressive and anti-racist lens. I am affirming of and allied with BIPOC, AAPI and LGBTQIA+ individuals. I am anti-Zionist and pro-Palestine. I believe in weight inclusive, respectful health care, working from a Health At Every Size perspective. In these areas, I’m continuing to educate myself about how to be an ally of marginalized communities as a cis-gender, thin privileged, white woman.

Now Offering: Trauma Intensives

Sometimes healing asks for more than a single 50-minute session. Trauma intensives create space for deeper, focused work—allowing you to move through meaningful shifts in a shorter period of time.

In these 2–4 hour sessions, I combine Lifespan Integration (LI) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to support you in:

  • Gently processing and integrating past experiences

  • Connecting with and healing younger parts of yourself

  • Developing a stronger, more compassionate relationship with yourself

  • Releasing patterns that keep you stuck in survival mode

Trauma intensives may be a good fit if you:

  • Feel ready to do deep, concentrated healing work

  • Want to accelerate your growth outside of the traditional weekly therapy model

  • Are seeking relief from long-standing patterns or specific traumatic experiences

  • Prefer extended time to process at your own pace

These sessions are designed with care and flexibility, ensuring that your nervous system feels supported throughout the process. Whether you choose a 2-hour, 3-hour or 4-hour intensive, we’ll create a space that honors your needs for safety, compassion, and lasting change.

What is Lifespan Integration?

Lifespan Integration (LI) is a gentle, body-based therapy that helps your nervous system resolve trauma and integrate past experiences. By guiding you through a timeline of your life, LI allows your brain to “link up” memories in a way that brings a sense of continuity and safety. This process helps reduce triggers, heal attachment wounds, and support lasting change—without needing to re-live trauma in detail.

Specialties

  • Religious Trauma & Faith Deconstruction

    Maybe you identify as an ex-evangelical like me, have left another religious community, or are just wanting more support in an area related to spirituality or deconstruction. We may explore how your beliefs impact your identity or work through struggles related to abuse or harmful religion. I approach treatment of these issues with a trauma-informed perspective and provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to reclaim this part of yourself.

  • Anxiety

    Feelings of anxiety are universal to all of us. Left unchecked, the chronic tension, worry, fear, and stress can impact day-to-day functioning. Work, school, relationships, social media, a worldwide pandemic- all of these things can influence our bodies’ response to stressors. When these feelings become too much, it can be helpful to seek extra support. In our work together, this may look like learning how to listen to your needs, caring for your body in the present moment, and developing healthy ways to cope with stress.

  • Trauma

    You’re a survivor. Perhaps you’ve lived through a very distressing event and struggling to make sense of the aftermath. Maybe you had a difficult childhood or experienced an abusive relationship. Your body is telling you something as you are navigating the pain of a whole range of emotions, hyper-vigilance, difficulty sleeping, feeling triggered, or disconnected from life. Traumatic things that happen to us don’t always resolve by themselves. They continue to show up in our bodies, impacting our mental and physical health. Trauma-informed care can help to alleviate the things you are experiencing.

  • Depression

    Depression is a prevalent mental health issue in today’s world that affects how you feel, your thoughts, and actions. The overwhelming sadness and lack of motivation can be debilitating, causing a loss of interest in your daily life. You are not alone. Reach out and we can begin to uncover where these patterns began. There is hope and things can get better.

  • Self Esteem

    The ways we feel about ourselves has a huge impact on our lives and relationships. If you are struggling in this area, I would love to help empower you to live into your fullest, most authentic self. Together, we can explore your values, what’s really important to you, and help you live in congruence with your values. Let’s get to know you and all of your uniqueness.

  • Life Transitions

    We encounter a lot of change throughout our lifetime. Navigating these changes is not always easy. Whether you’re experiencing a loss, starting a new stage of life, or trying to adjust to changing life circumstances, I can provide a space of support and carry the burden alongside you.
