Therapists » Licensed Professional Counselor
I am a somatic and relationship therapist, and provide both individual and couples therapy. For adults and adolescents dealing with various types of trauma from developmental to acute, I use Somatic Experiencing as well as IFS (internal family systems) to help you heal the intensity of your experience of past events that may be keeping you feeling overwhelmed and settle your nervous system in the here and now. For couples I use Gottman Couples Therapy to help you improve communication, and work through things from infidelity to parenting to navigating relationship changes. I also provide sex therapy to individuals and couples. I am Board Certified in holistic nutrition and Certified in Functional Medicine, and work with Binge Eating and other patterns of disordered eating, as well as working with gut issues like IBD and IBS, and hormone challenges like PMDD. In collaboration, we'll determine if counseling alone is desired or if you'd prefer to include nutritional psychology also. I understand that every person's story is unique, and I aim to provide a safe and judgement free space. I am a sex positive therapist and have an understanding of the polyamorous and non-monogamy community, as well as the LGBTQIA+ community. In collaboration we'll work to improve your understanding and relationship with yourself and those around you.
