If you tend to “lose yourself” in relationships, continuously feel dissatisfied with romantic partners, or struggle to value yourself while in a relationship – I am here to help you. On the flip side, if you frequently distance yourself from your romantic partner, have intense fears of getting “stuck” or “consumed” by a relationship, or neglect your relational side by consuming yourself with work, hobbies, religion, etc. – I am also here to help you!

I specialize in attachment wounds, the love addiction and avoidance cycle, and codependency work. I deeply value finding authenticity, depth, and connection through relationship. My goal is to help you discover your personal barriers to intimacy and overcome whatever is holding you back from real connection.

My personal recovery started in 2014 and I understand the courage it takes to look inward and work through old wounds and practice a new way of living. I am here to support you and help you meet your goals for therapy. I offer a free 15 minute consultation where you can ask any questions you may have and schedule your first session!

Emotion is energy in motion. It is a messenger. If we ignore the message our body is sending, the emotion does not go away, it gets stuck and builds. Writing down how you feel or sharing it with someone gives emotion movement. It helps the energy get unstuck. We all have our limits and the body is great at giving increasing signs that you are about to reach a personal limit in different situations. Getting to know what your signs are can help you and those you are in relationship with greatly. Notice how you feel, share it, and do what you can to physically comfort yourself as a boundary setting practice. For example, if you are in a conflict and you notice your body alerting you to a limitation, say, “My heart is starting to race and my body is tensing up. I need to take a 20 minute break and then come back to this discussion.” Boundaries exist to protect us and others internally (our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors) and externally (our physical and sexual bodies). The goal is protection and developing a firm sense of your own identity. If boundary language is getting tiresome for you or the people close to you, try changing how the story is told. Did you know that grief can impact your body’s ability to fight off illness? Some helpful resources you can use to boost your immune system include restorative yoga, herbal teas, and antidepressants/functional medicine. For more information and potential next steps, schedule a free 15 minute consultation. 💙 Grief is an emotional process, but also a physical one. It impacts every part of our body. We often use the symbol of a broken heart to describe the pain of our grief. It takes time for the symbolic and literal heart to regulate itself in new ways as we move forward with loss. This year it’s “more good days, together.” Part of the mission at MidRiver Therapy is to make mental health services available to anyone who needs it. One way I do this is through the Together Fund. This fund is community-supported assistance that helps individuals access counseling services when finances might otherwise prevent them from receiving care. If you would like to contribute, visit our link tree in our bio and click “Together Fund.” This is where the counseling happens! I’m here to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to become aligned with your authentic self. I am also passionate about equipping my clients with the knowledge they need to become actors in their lives rather than reactors. Let’s work together! https://www.instagram.com/p/DYAQuKcka1T/ Carl Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychologist who founded analytical psychology. This framework looks at bringing the subconscious and the conscious onto the same page with the goal of discovering your authentic self. When the subconscious and the conscious are not on the same page, the subconscious will start knocking louder and louder on your figurative door. This can look like increasing anxiety, anger, depression, obsessive thinking… it’s an attempt to grab your attention. It is this knocking that gets many of us into a counselor’s office. An easy Jungian exercise you can try is active imagination through journaling. If there is a strong emotion you’re feeling or a thought that won’t go away, get yourself a journal and set aside time to dialogue with this feeling or thought. Give it a persona or image. Ask it questions and let the dialogue flow. Don’t plan the answers, just let them arrive when they’re ready. You can ask questions like, what do you need? why are you here? how are you trying to help me? When you feel like the conversation has reached an ending point, analyze the conversation later for insights. Want to dive in deeper? Reach out and schedule a free consultation!
