With the ups and downs of life sometimes we fall off-track and need a bit of help getting back up. Whether we get stuck in a funk, experience the pain of loss, or life transitions just seem too much. I’m here to meet you where you are and together cultivate a safe space where you can feel seen and heard.
Sometimes life feels challenging and hard, and we feel like we lose ourselves a little along the way. This is when it’s most helpful to slow down, take a deep breath, and consider support to feel less alone and figure out next steps. I am focused on helping individuals learn and apply new skills and strategies to make impactful shifts that lead to meaningful change in themselves and in relationships with loved ones. I provide a non-judgmental space so clients can feel safe to openly share their thoughts, emotions and experiences. I specialize in supporting individuals with life transitions, women’s issues and caregiver support.

Are you struggling to “keep it together” while feeling scattered, rushed, wired and tired? Are you unable to predict or regulate your reactions and emotions? Do you often experience too little, or too much energy at inconvenient times? Is it difficult to focus and stay on task at home, work, and in relationships? I get it, and you are not alone. These experiences can leave us feeling isolated, lonely, deflated and defeated, but this doesn't have to be our story. Together, we can uncover and address the sources of our challenges, and resource them through compassion, acceptance, understanding, and nervous system regulation.

I believe therapy allows people to share their stories and feel their emotions in an environment that is safe and considers their unique needs. I strive to validate people’s emotions (because they are understandable), to highlight their strengths (because sometimes people can’t see them) and to build hope (because it can be restored).

Hi there. Looking for the right fit for a therapist may feel a bit overwhelming. I invite you to take a moment to inhale deeply and slowly exhale, releasing tension as you do. Imagine... a space where you can go to share what needs to be heard. feel your way through complex emotions, process the blocks that hold you back and learn healthy ways of coping. Here, you will be supported as you lean into yourself. " Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it." -Rumi

Are you new to therapy, and need a supportive, you-focused introduction to life-changing self-awareness? Maybe you've been doing therapy for years, but feel like something from the process is "missing"? Do you still feeling stuck, despite how many breathing exercises and positive self-talk you do? Struggling with childhood trauma, eating challenges, anxiety, grief (or all of the above?). Then let's talk! Using a combination of talk therapy, body-based somatics, critical reframing and psychoeducation, I work with individuals and clients to go DEEPER and get the support and results they're looking for.
