We will begin by building a safe relationship and understanding what the challenges are. Then we will use different kinds of tools and practices to create change. To do this we use a combination of bottom up and top down healing. Bottom up therapy means we work on healing from the body. Tools we can use for this are EMDR, somatic tools, and Sensorimotor Practices. In conjunction we will do top down healing. This starts from the mind. The tools we use for this are cognitive behavioral therapy, ACT, and narrative therapy. We can also use parts work which uses both mind and body.
I am a licensed clinical social worker and I am certified in EMDR, Narrative therapy, Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, and Parts work. I began my career working in Family Systems theory, which looks at the system you grew up in so that will inform the therapy practice.
How to get started: First you email or call. Then we set up a consult call. During this call we talk what you are looking for, billing, and decide if we would like to work together. Next you would fill out documentation and lastly we schedule our fist session. Next healing.

I am a licensed counselor who believes that authentic human connection in the present moment is one of the most powerful tools for healing. I am passionate about supporting individuals as they navigate life’s challenges and rediscover their innate capacity for growth and resilience. My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and tailored to each individual’s unique needs and goals. Together, we will develop a personalized path forward that draws from a range of therapeutic approaches, including somatic experiencing, Internal Family Systems (parts work), attachment-theory, and Gestalt therapy.

I work with adult clients from diverse backgrounds and experiences, and I have a special interest in supporting those navigating neurodivergence—including ADHD, learning disabilities, autism, OCD, and Tourette’s—as well as trauma, depression, codependency, anxiety, grief, and major life transitions.

I strive to create a space where you can bring your full self—imperfect, fluid, human, and unique. My hope is that our work together feels supportive, empowering, and grounded in compassion. If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking for new ways to move forward, I invite you to reach out. It would be my privilege to hold space for you.

What is it like to be you right now? This question begins our work together. The decision to come to therapy is often because something inside and/or outside of us has become too much— too heavy, overwhelming, chaotic, repetitive, isolating, frustrating, stressful, heartbreaking, angering. I offer attentive, honest and individualized therapy where we will explore the ways your emotional and internal experiences connect to your early life, the here and now, your relationship to self and others and your specific contexts.

As we make sense of how these different threads shaped you, new possibilities can emerge: clearer insight, greater emotional agency, more satisfying relationships with self and others, a steadier way of meeting yourself and the world and a loosened grip from anxiety, shame, guilt, confusion and self-doubt.

Psychodynamic principles guide me and the questions I ask. I am also informed by attachment theory and depth psychology. If you are interested in working together, reach out. I will get back to you within 24-hours on Monday-Thursday. I look forward to meeting you.

Psychotherapy can provide unique support to many life challenges; from navigating difficult transitions, to undoing patterns and beliefs that keep us stuck, to changing how we feel about ourselves and others, to healing past traumas that still haunt us in the present.

My work is based on the belief that we all have an inbuilt ability to rebalance and recover and that psychotherapy can bring that ability to the fore. I seek to meet my clients in a collaborative and supportive way to find solutions that bring more fulfillment and purpose to their lives

I take an integrative approach to psychotherapy that combines somatic, emotion-focus, cognitive, and behavioral principles.

Life can be messy, relationships can be complicated, and sometimes the coping skills that once worked just aren’t enough anymore. You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, exhausted, or tired of carrying everything on your own. I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the everyday stress that comes with being human. Together, we’ll build practical tools, deepen self-understanding, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I believe you are the expert on your own life. My role is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where we can explore what’s getting in the way, build on your strengths, and develop practical strategies that fit your unique needs and goals. Therapy is a collaborative process, and we’ll work together every step of the way.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Whether you’re seeking support for yourself, your relationship, or your family, I’m here to help. If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d be honored to walk alongside you as you move toward healing, growth, and a more fulfilling life.

My approach is collaborative, relational, and grounded in the belief that you are not broken and do not need to be fixed. Rather, therapy is an opportunity to reconnect with your inner wisdom, strengthen your relationship with yourself, and rediscover the strengths and resources that already exist within you. Together, we can make space for both your pain and your potential, helping you move toward a life that feels more authentic, connected, and fulfilling.

Everyone deserves a life rooted in authenticity, connection, and purpose. If you’re feeling stuck in painful patterns, struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, relationship challenges, or feeling disconnected from yourself, therapy can help.

I believe our current struggles often have roots in past experiences and the stories we’ve come to believe about ourselves. Together, we’ll create a safe, compassionate space to explore those patterns, heal old wounds, and develop new ways of relating to yourself and others.

I’m Eileen, a licensed accredited counselor (LAC) and Gestalt therapist. My approach is active, relational, and experiential. If you’re tired of just talking about your problems and are ready to feel through them, we’ll be a good fit. I work with you in the ‘here and now’ to pinpoint exactly how you get in your own way. We focus on the sensations in your body, the tone of your voice, and the patterns happening right in front of us. My goal is to help you move past intellectualizing your life so you can start living it with authentic choice and creative power.

Specializing in trauma recovery, I integrate my Gestalt foundation with EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). This allows us to bridge the gap between processing past wounds and building present-day awareness. Experiential practices and targeted trauma protocols are used to shift how those memories live in your body today.

We don’t just analyze the past—we experiment with the present to create a future where you feel truly alive. I work with this direct approach because I have witnessed its transformational power. If this speaks to you, please reach out today for a free consultation.

My ideal clients are TEENS, ADULTS, and WOMEN navigating a difficult season and may be experiencing challenges with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, identity, boundaries and people-pleasing, family dynamics, or the pressures and expectations one feels both internally and externally.

Compassionate. collaboration, feeling genuinely heard and accepted are integral to therapy!

With a person-centered approach, I strive to create a therapeutic relationship built on compassion, authenticity, trust, and acceptance.
