You've been to therapy before. You know what it's like: sympathetic, supportive, validating. That's all really nice, but comments like: "You're so self-aware!" become stale after awhile. You've overcome mountains and you know that you're capable of even greater things, if only you could get out of your own way.
You may even have this creepy feeling running in the background that if you don't get to what's underneath the self-sabotage, you'll keep ruining relationships and opportunities. You're tired of regret.
You're ready to be challenged. You've made it this far, and you deserve to be appreciated for all that that's taken.

I believe in therapy from a biopsychosocial perspective, recognizing the deep connection between the body, mind, and relationships. My approach considers biological factors like pain management, exercise, and sleep; psychological aspects such as emotional regulation, stress management, and education; and social influences, including relationships and conflict resolution. I provide a non-judgmental and open space where we can explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, working together to reduce distress and promote meaningful change. I also encourage nature therapy, helping clients reconnect with the outdoors to enhance their se

I know that you’re really good at surviving. You’ve gotten this far after all. But the things that you’ve had to do to survive - people pleasing, overthinking, overworking, overextending, hypervigilence, masking - are taking a toll. You’re anxious, exhausted, and filled with self doubt. And drinking/eating/ scrolling too much to cope. Or constantly running to attain what you think you’re supposed to chase after. And none of it is working. You may have even been to therapy before, and you've talked about your issues but you don't really feel like you've healed your issues. You feel stuck and don't know where to turn to for help.

Maybe you're the person everyone relies on. You're parenting, working, managing a relationship, keeping track of appointments, meals, school, activities...the list never really ends. And somewhere along the way, you may have started feeling anxious, disconnected from yourself, or simply exhausted.
I work with parents of all genders through the messy, complicated, and beautiful experience of raising children.

My goal every day is to offer a supportive, practical approach to therapy. Throughout my career, I’ve tended to work primarily with people who have mood or anxiety difficulties. Some are undergoing or have undergone significant life transitions such as grief from loss. Others come to me for guidance around work-related stress or burnout. And others wish to examine the patterns and practices around their substance use.

Stress highly depletes your energy to deal with problems. When feeling tired, frustrated and hopeless, it can seem like there are no solutions. In a safe, calm environment, where you feel accepted just as you are, you begin to develop self-compassion. By being gentle with yourself, coming from a place of non-judgement, you can attain so much. Trust allows you to open and us to work together to explore what is at the root of the problem. As you explore thoughts and feelings, you become more self-aware. Your energy increases and you become stronger, then able to learn effective coping skills to overcome challenges and to thrive.
