Your Path to Brighter Days
You might feel stuck, overwhelmed, or like something inside you keeps getting in the way, even when you’re trying your best. You don’t have to carry this alone. I offer therapy for individuals navigating trauma, shame, anxiety, depression, grief, emotional overwhelm, and patterns that feel difficult to change. My approach is grounded, collaborative, and focused on helping you understand what’s happening beneath the surface—not just managing symptoms, but making sense of the experiences that have shaped you.
Many of the people I work with feel stuck, reactive, or disconnected from themselves in ways they can’t fully explain. Therapy provides a space to slow down, feel supported, and begin working through those experiences in a way that feels safe and manageable.
I completed my Level 2 training through the IFS Institute & Cambridge Health Alliance with Richard Schwartz, Martha Sweezy, and Fatimah Finney. My approach includes Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR therapy, and somatic, trauma-informed approaches. I integrate these in a way that is tailored to you. Therapy with me is steady, relational, paced and focused on meaningful, lasting change.
I am licensed to provide therapy in both Idaho and Washington and offer telehealth sessions to clients in each state. This allows for flexible access to care while maintaining a consistent, supportive therapeutic space.
Internal Family Systems
Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy is based on the understanding that we all have different “parts” within us. Some that try to manage life, some that react when things feel overwhelming, and others that may carry pain from past experiences.
This approach is especially helpful for working with shame, depression, anxiety, grief, and trauma. Parts that carry shame often hold painful beliefs about who you are. Parts connected to grief may carry loss that hasn’t had space to be fully processed or understood. Other parts may work hard to keep those experiences out of awareness.
In IFS therapy, these parts are not seen as problems to fix, but as meaningful responses that developed to help you cope, adapt, or protect yourself. Therapy focuses on building a new kind of relationship with these parts, one that is curious, compassionate, and non-judgmental.
As this relationship shifts, parts can begin to release the roles and burdens they’ve been stuck with, allowing you to feel more balanced, less reactive, and more connected to yourself.
EMDR & Somatic Therapy
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and somatic therapy support how your brain and nervous system process and heal from difficult or unresolved experiences.
This can be especially helpful when trauma, grief, or shame continue to feel activated in your body, showing up as anxiety, emotional reactivity, or a sense of being stuck. Sometimes insight alone isn’t enough. Your nervous system may still be holding onto experiences that haven’t been fully processed.
EMDR therapy and somatic approaches allow us to work with these patterns more directly, helping your system integrate what it’s been carrying in a way that feels more complete and less overwhelming.
This work is always paced carefully and collaboratively. The goal isn’t to push or overwhelm you, but to help your system process what it’s been holding in a way that feels safe, supported, and sustainable over time.
