Mindful Counseling

Brené Brown says that “Sometimes the bravest and most important thing you can do is just show up.” My clients are those who are ready to practice showing up for themselves as full-hearted participants in their own lives. They are often deeply-feeling, highly-sensitive people who have struggled to integrate all parts of themselves, but who are ready to experience the confidence that comes from facing (and owning) painful parts of their stories. My clients often have a history of trauma and are interested in how to fully acknowledge and heal their past in a way that opens up freedom for the future. In other words, my clients are brave change-makers who haven’t yet fully realized that their sensitivity is perhaps their greatest superpower. I am an EMDR-trained trauma therapist who integrates Internal Family Systems with here-and-now processing techniques. I acknowledge the past in a way that increases awareness into what patterns perpetuate in your current life. Through insight-oriented work, I commit to each of my clients to believe them endlessly, to show up compassionately in moments of vulnerability, to help them see their internal worlds as deeply useful, and to challenge parts of their belief-systems that distance them from the lives they desire. I provide a deeply-validating, personalized and collaborative environment. Therapy is hard work, and I’ll get in the arena and work hard alongside you. I offer free consultations to answer your questions, to listen to your goals, and to see if you and I could potentially have a impactful therapeutic relationship. I consider it one of the greatest privileges of my life to be privy to sacred moments of healing with my clients. Thank you, for showing up for yourself and trusting me to witness your process.
