Let’s get this clear from the start: you aren’t ill, disordered, or flawed. You’re a human living in a world that creates constant stress and demands perfection. SO, while we will work on improving your quality of life, we’re going to focus on UNlearning just as much as learning. I like to explore, challenge, and empower you to lean into the difficult stuff using a gentle yet firm approach. My goal is to help you be able to accept those uncomfortable thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them, and to connect you with a sense of confidence, clarity, and courage to live the way you want to.

Are you somebody who is currently experiencing inner turmoil, conflict, or is having a difficult time being at peace with themselves? Perhaps you're a little too familiar with your inner-critic and seeking a more kind way of engaging with yourself and others. If you can relate to these words, you've landed in the right place. I have worked with clients who've experienced an array of challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress/burnout, low self-esteem, childhood trauma, relationship problems, grief/loss, and more.

The pain associated with grief is a natural yet deeply unsettling part of our human journey. My career in the helping profession started as a personal care provider for seniors. The experience brought me closer to families and grief. I have witnessed and experienced firsthand the depth of emotions that arise when we confront loss – whether it is the fading of a relationship, the shift in identity, the disruption of routine or the loss of a dear one. While the journey of loss is one we all share, the grieving process is as individual as each person I have cared for.

With 8+ years of experience helping clients overcome a wide range of anxiety disorders, I'm prepared to teach you effective ways of improving the thoughts and behaviors that are stopping you from living the life you'd like to live. Struggling with intrusive thoughts, or rituals you can't resist doing? Skin picking and/or hair pulling? Experiencing distressing emotions, or trying to heal from trauma or loss? Perhaps you're questioning your sexuality or navigating your gender identity? With years of clinical practice in all of the above, you can conquer your symptoms beside someone who knows what the best tools to use are.

Near or anticipated death, a chronic health issue?

Do you ever feel really strong feelings like anger, fear, or shame that make you do things you regret? Like maybe you end up doing stuff that hurts you or others, and it's hard to stop? It can make you feel like you've lost control of yourself and your life. Imagine looking back and seeing that things have changed for the good. Picture being able to tell when shame starts creeping in and having the tools to stop it from taking over. You can feel safe knowing that those feelings don't define you. It may still hurt at times, but it won't spiral into a crisis. You'll learn to navigate your days to align with the life you want.

I have a passion for working with people and truly believe we all have the capacity to thrive and have life experiences full of purpose, joy and meaning. My intention is to offer a space that is safe, and non-judgemental in supporting you with the tools to handle life’s hardships with grace. Allow me to support you in exploring what is holding you back and in challenging the self-limiting beliefs we all hold.

Many people come to therapy having felt a chronic sense of loneliness or disconnection, having had to hide or reject parts of the self in an effort to find belonging. Therapy is, for many of us, one of the only spaces where we can allow ourselves to be fully and deeply seen without judgment or expectations. It can become an important place to safely, and with guidance, express and explore the difficult emotions and experiences that have built up over time and are now feeling heavy, overwhelming, or harmful.

Underlying our innermost desires is the need for freedom and courage to be our authentic selves, to bring our gifts and talents forward into the world, and to find belonging with others who love and support our true selves. My goal is to provide you with support and guidance as you journey towards actualizing this life vision. As we explore your unique experiences and the meaning you (and others!) have attributed to them - lending itself to the creation of your worldview, sense of self, and how you understand others - we will cultivate a deepened understanding of the areas of potential for growth and change unique to you.
