I believe every person can overcome their history and trauma to lead a rich fulfilling life. I know that every person deserves and can achieve radical healing, and that it shouldn't take a lifetime to get there. If you are relentlessly and courageously pursuing your own healing, you have come to the right place. I use a combination of deep listening, EMDR, parts work, and other somatic modalities to help my clients achieve profound and lasting change. I expect that you will see significant progress in the time we are working together, and if you don't, I will help you find someone who can offer that to you. A lot of my clients have significant recent trauma, childhood trauma, or unrelenting symptoms. They may have seen other providers before without seeing much progress. They are hurting and willing to try anything if it will actually offer them relief. If this describes you and you are ready to do transformative work together, I can't wait to meet you. In addition to regular weekly or bi-weekly therapy, I offer EMDR Intensives for targeted, efficient trauma work. I consider it such a gift to create a container for my clients to do powerful work in. I would love to offer you a free 15 minute phone consultation to see if we might be a good fit to work together. I look forward to hearing from you!

I offer shame-free addiction recovery counseling to adults who may also be struggling with trauma, depression, or anxiety. Did you know 75% of individuals struggling with substance misuse have a history of trauma? We now know the risk of developing this disorder is directly linked to a person's exposure to adversities like childhood abuse, toxic stress, trauma, and dysfunctional relationships. In the face of an invisible epidemic, trauma and substance abuse, you need an ally who sees and understands you. Together, we will honor your unique path to recovery, grow your self worth, and create a life worth celebrating not escaping. View 8 Photos I founded Kind Recovery to support recovering people with evidence-based and modern treatment modalities. While I love and support traditional 12-step programs; community support and mental health treatment are different things. I combine trauma therapy skills (EMDR, IFS, Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy) with addiction recovery treatments (ACT, MI). You can expect me to employ a directive approach coupled with a great deal of compassion and non-judgment. I trust that within your experience there is an answer that's been trying to make its way into awareness, and I would be honored to help guide you on your path of discovery.

While change and vulnerability can be difficult, I make every effort to help you move toward your goals at a pace defined by you. Whether it's related to our relationships, career, self perceptions and/or how we fit into our world, life's challenges can propel us toward seeking help. Finding our path and achieving our goals are vital in obtaining happiness and satisfaction in life. I want to help you get there. I have extensive experience and interest in working with adolescents and adults living with depression and anxiety. Additionally, I specialize in assisting parents-to-be and new parents struggling with infertility and perinatal mood disorders (depression, anxiety), which often originates on our path to parenthood. Your feedback throughout the process is essential to our success. Similarly, when appropriate, I will take an active and direct role, giving feedback to support and guide, in a warm, caring and non-judgmental manner. I look forward to beginning our work together, to help you reach where you want to be.

Would you like to treat yourself with the kindness and compassion you currently reserve for others? When we go through painful experiences or relationships, it sometimes teaches us to believe something limiting, negative and UNTRUE about ourselves. I want to find out what those beliefs are and what happened to convince you of them. Let’s discover what you truly believe! Any expression of gender, spirituality or identity will be affirmed, honored and respected here. I offer the most gentle trauma therapy I can by centering your needs in every moment. I use a combination of trauma therapy techniques including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), parts language (Internal Family Systems-informed) and somatic techniques in this work. I take a holistic approach, which means I draw from multiple theories and models, some of which are client-centered, and feminist. If your brain is having a hard time convincing your gut and body and spirit that some limiting and negative and nagging belief is not true, I invite you to reach out to me.
