Therapy for children ages 7+ and their families, supporting emotional and behavioral development while building resilience and helping everyone grow together.

Adult therapy that helps you unpack what’s going on, build coping tools that actually work, and feel more steady in your own life.

Holding space for others while carrying your own history is no small task. As a therapist, you already know the importance of tending to trauma, regulating the nervous system, and staying grounded. Knowing it and actually making time for yourself are two very different things (you don’t get CEUs for your own therapy, unfortunately).

Choosing therapy with Starling means stepping into a space where your needs as both a clinician and a human are honored. I specialize in supporting therapists who are ready to prioritize their own healing so they can keep showing up fully for others. This is not just self-care. It is professional sustainability and, honestly, personal liberation.

Together, we use evidence-based approaches such as EMDR, Brainspotting, IFS, and mindfulness practices to go deeper, faster. Because you already know the lingo, we do not spend time with the 101 explanations. Instead, we get straight into the work that matters: clearing what feels heavy, strengthening your presence, and restoring your capacity to be both grounded and attuned.

Investing in yourself as a therapist is not indulgent. It is essential. When you heal, you expand the quality of care you can offer others. Think of it as therapy for the therapist—real, authentic, sometimes even laugh-through-the-tears kind of work. This is therapy that sustains you, so you can sustain your work.

Healing in a group hits different. There is something powerful about realizing you are not the only person trying to survive, untangle old patterns, or learn how to exist with a little more ease and a little less shame.

Group therapy offers connection, support, feedback, and the chance to be witnessed by people who actually get it. It can help loosen isolation, build insight, and make room for change without pretending any of this work is neat or linear.

Our groups are facilitated with care, clarity, and respect. You do not need to show up polished or have the perfect words. You just have to show up.

Check back often to see what groups we are offering.

INTENSIVES

What are they?

Intensive Therapy Sessions

Sometimes healing needs more space than a traditional 53-minute session can provide. Intensives offer extended time to go deeper, move through stuck places, and create lasting change without the stop-and-start of weekly therapy.

EMDR Intensives

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) intensives are extended sessions designed to accelerate the processing of painful memories. This approach can help reduce distress around traumatic or adverse experiences while giving you tools to regulate your nervous system. Some people feel nervous about the idea of intensives, and that is completely normal. We move at your pace, always with care and safety at the center.

IFS Intensives

Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy brings us back to the wisdom of our core Self. In an intensive format, there is room to listen deeply to the parts of you that have been carrying the weight of past trauma. As those parts release their burdens, they can return to their natural supportive roles, freeing your Self to lead with clarity, balance, and compassion. IFS intensives are especially powerful for caregivers and mental health professionals, who often neglect their own inner worlds while giving so much to others.

Brainspotting Intensives

Brainspotting intensives allow for a deeper dive into unresolved issues that need time and space to surface. With extended sessions, you do not have to worry about running out of time or rushing back into daily life immediately after. This format creates a safer container to explore sensitive topics and process them fully.

Why Choose Intensives?

If you need help now and do not want to spend months in a traditional weekly therapy model, intensive treatment may be the right fit. This approach often brings faster relief, greater efficiency, and meaningful change in a shorter period of time.

Custody evaluations are not therapy, and they are not a place for spin. They are a structured clinical process used to assess family dynamics, parenting concerns, and what may best support a child’s wellbeing.

This process is thorough, neutral, and grounded in careful observation, record review, interviews, and collateral information. The goal is not to reward the most polished parent in the room. It is to provide clear, clinically informed recommendations that center the child’s needs and the actual conditions of the family.
