Seeking counseling can be a challenging process and it’s important to work with a therapist that is the right fit for you. I thrive in working with individuals feeling overwhelmed, wanting relief, or seeking a deeper understanding of themselves. While these experiences can leave us feeling stuck in a broad range of emotional states, such as shame, guilt, anxiety, numbness, or isolation, I can help with navigating the stressors that are part of your everyday lived experience. I value collaborating with clients to support them in their journey to achieve harmony, fulfillment, and happiness.

Many people I work with feel like they are stuck in patterns they can't change. They are caught in overthinking, anxiety, or frustration in relationships. You don't have to have everything figured out to begin. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Many of the people I work with are trying to manage stress, make sense of difficult emotions, or move forward from patterns that no longer feel helpful. Together we explore what's driving these patterns and develop practical changes that bring more clarity, confidence, and direction to daily life.

My fundamental orientation to counselling is existential. At its heart, this approach doesn't distinguish between cognitions (thinking) and affect (feeling) and the somatic (body). Instead, it (and I) attempt to make contact with the whole of one's being. After all, we don't refer to ourselves as "human brains" or "human bodies" but as human beings. This is why talk therapy participates in healing the body, but it also explains why attention to the body can help heal what we generally call mental illness. And in the midst of it all, feelings are the endlessly rich source of information that help connect thinking to the body.

I have been in private practice for 20 years, and in the mental health field for almost 40 years. My practice draws self-referring, high-functioning adults. couples and families with addiction, anxiety, depression and attachment disorders affecting their lives beyond their historical, current or perceived ability of self-control. In couples, I usually begin individually to create safety and self-awareness, then re-convene targeting clear self-advocacy, expression and truthful communication. EMDR in the couple context can clear a lot of old trauma and wounded pattern-associations that mire us in destructive relational dynamics.

Many individuals and couples navigating infertility, fertility treatment, miscarriage, and postpartum challenges come to therapy feeling alone and that no one truly understands them. These experiences can bring up complex emotions such as feeling lost, helpless, angry, numb, or hopeless about the future.
In these moments, people often just want to feel seen. When they’re feeling stuck, they want to know that it won’t always feel this way and that there is a path forward. Working with a therapist who understands these struggles can help a person feel seen, supported, and deeply understood, and better able to find their way.

We work with individuals who may appear high-functioning on the outside, yet feels disconnected, overwhelmed, or internally conflicted on the inside. They may be struggling with anxiety, depression, burnout, relational patterns, emotional reactivity or numbness, identity confusion, or the long-term effects of developmental or relational trauma.
Often, they’ve already tried to “think their way out” of their struggles. They understand themselves intellectually, but still feel stuck in their body, nervous system, or relationships. They may feel exhausted from holding it together, people-pleasing, or over-functioning.
