Life challenges such as loss, grief, workplace stressors, relationship issues, parenting, health issues, hormonal changes, trauma, or abuse can feel overwhelming and isolating. You don’t have to face these challenges alone. We will work together to explore and understand your needs and create meaningful goals that honor your story and your strengths. Using talk therapy, CBT, DBT, Strength based therapy and Brainspotting you’ll be gently supported in healing, building resilience, and finding a path forward that feels empowering, hopeful, and aligned with the life you want to live.

Do you often experience emotional overwhelm and feel unsure of what is happening internally? You are not alone! The mind naturally gravitates toward familiar patterns, even when those patterns contribute to stress. During periods of chaos, it is common to revert to coping strategies that once felt protective but now leave you feeling stuck. As a therapist, I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space to help you explore these patterns, understand their origins, and develop more adaptive ways of coping. While the process of healing can be challenging, meaningful and lasting change is possible within a safe therapeutic relationship

For individual adult clients, I offer a humanistic, depth-oriented approach for help with existential concerns, anxiety, and avoidance through an interpersonal and humanistic lens.

I often support people facing depression, burnout, anxiety, and complex relationship trauma. You can expect us to slow down together and reflect on your experiences to better understand what seen or unseen forces motivate you. We can focus on understanding the meaning behind emotions, thoughts, and actions that are generally more "automatic" and acceptable, as well as those that are unacceptable. If you're interested in making sense of patterns and in developing a more balanced and resilient lifestyle, we might be a good fit.

Accepting new clients! Being in a culture that asks you to shrink yourself, your needs, and your beliefs can be tiresome. This may be impacting how you experience your mood, body, food, relationships or the spaces you occupy. There may be ways that you protect the more tender parts of you that get in the way of being more in line with your values, and finally having the relationship with yourself and others that you have always wanted. You might be feeling overwhelmed by changes you need to make and simply don't know where to begin. You deserve to live a rich, expansive life, and to have deep, meaningful connections.
