Psychological suffering exists on different levels and manifests in different ways, in psyche, body, interpersonally, socially, both consciously and unconsciously. Thankfully, there are many ways to address psychological struggle, ranging from working with symptoms that are consciously experienced to the exploration of underlying non-conscious dynamics, many of which originate during the early years of one's life and impact one's relationship with self and others. My work is social justice-infor...

I primarily work with individuals struggling with compulsive behavior, including sex/porn addiction, codependency, internet/social media addiction, and problem spending/debting. Addiction is meant to make you feel less. It provides temporary numbing for lifelong pain. You feel trapped, depressed, angry, anxious, guilty, and afraid when you can't stop. Recovering from compulsive behavior, though not easy, is possible and has been accomplished many times. But it does require a complete cha...

My approach is warm, perceptive, and clarifying. I primarily use the IFS model, which posits that we each contain an ecology of different parts that each have a valuable role to play within us. When these parts develop roles that are in conflict with one another, or with our external world, we can experience distress, confusion, disconnection, and shame. I work with clients to explore these areas with curiosity, compassion, and courage in service to promoting greater ease and sense of meaning in...

I often practice through an emotion-focused, mindfulness, and feminist lens, although I incorpora...
You long to exude confidence and clarity, presenting an image of having everything under control. Yet, beneath the surface, you grapple with feelings of overwhelm, doubt, and self-questioning. You find yourself yearning for something more, perhaps feeling weary of insecurity, fatigue, or disappointment in yourself or others. It's possible that you can't recall a time when things didn't feel this way. Nevertheless, one thing remains certain: you're seeking a reprieve. You're eager to experience c...

Okay. Here's the thing. Nobody really knows how therapy works, or why some people get better with one approach and some another. What we do know is that if you connect with your therapist, and if you really commit to digging in and doing the work, healing and change can happen, and things can get better. And I can help you with that. I'll listen to you. I'll pay close attention. I'll meet you where you're at, with empathy and compassion and even some humor. And I'll tell you the truth. I'm gues...
I'm an LGBT+ and neurodiversity affirming provider based out of Sarasota, FL. I use an integrative approach that considers the role of both mind and body, as I believe neither are fully separate and both are equally important to mental health. Treatment modalities I may use include CBT, EMDR, mindfulness, and holistic coaching. My approach is very client-centered and I believe every client has the right to choose their own treatment path and collaborate together on what that plan looks like. ...
