Accepting NEW Clients - Are you someone hoping to find ways to feel less anxious, less stressed, or less depressed, and have the tools to show up differently? Do you want to feel more like yourself again, or figure out what helps to get "unstuck?" Do you often feel down on yourself, like you're not enough, but you don't know how to change this? Maybe there is a relationship in your life that you, or you and your partner, are hoping to better understand and improve. Let's look at what's going on for you now, how the past might impact this, and equip you with ways to move forward differently. I work with individuals and couples.

You may carry the idea that there is something wrong with you, that you are fundamentally flawed. You may constantly work to keep the people around you happy. You may be wondering about the big questions in life, like what the hell are we doing here and why, and what is my role in it all? How do you make sense of the world we seem to live in, let alone your own life? You may simply want to flourish, and are running into the same familiar knots again and again. Whether that is a serious shock like a death, birth, rebirth or spiritual journey, whether it shows up in relationship, career, or other aspects of your life, I’ve got you.

In an overwhelming and exhausting world, psychotherapy can be a refuge. When you’ve been feeling burned out, spread too thin, and isolated... When you’re keeping it together most of the time, but find it hard to understand how other people stay on top of everything... When you have always been regarded as independent or self-reliant, but underneath you wish others recognized what a struggle it’s been... Therapy is a place where you can be seen, supported, and even celebrated.

I provide therapy for indivduals who struggle with anxiety, panic attacks, depression, anger mangement, relationship problems, low self esteem, trauma, childhood physical or sexual abuse histories, grief and loss, body image, eating disorders or life transitions. My approach as a psychotherapist is to provide a safe and empathic space for each client to be able to explore whatever struggles may be preventing them from living a life of authenticity, meaningfulness, and joy.

People encounter problems in their lives and come into relationship with them. Sometimes problems stay around longer than people would like - sometimes even long enough that they start to see themselves as the problem. My approach follows the narrative therapy practice of externalizing and examining problems so that we can reveal their histories, their impacts, and also the ways you have resisted their unwanted influence on your life. This approach focuses on the active role you play in pursuing the life that you want, as well as the people and things that support you in that pursuit.

I believe that within all of us lies the potential to heal, to change, and to grow. Sometimes that potential gets clouded by the events in our lives and it can feel impossible to see a path forward. Maybe you’re feeling hopeless, or trapped in endless cycles of self-hatred. Maybe you’ve experienced things that were out of your control and are impacting the way you relate to yourself and exist in the world. Maybe you’re facing challenges related to trauma, fear, or shame, which have impacted the way you treat your body. That’s where I come in. Together, we will work towards creating the life that you want to live.

Chronic pain or illness? PTSD? You need someone who has been there. I have over twenty years of lived experience with injury, illness, trauma and recovery which has given me insight into a world of harm, and the skills necessary to be resilient and heal. I can offer you the benefits of having a therapeutic relationship to deal with life's unexpected challenges. I know how much help is essential to move beyond difficult circumstances and I want to be an advocate and a resource for that action to take place. I hope to take my strengths of providing compassion and empathy to each person I connect with in this role.

Overwhelmed? Alone? Stuck ? Are you experiencing a transition in your life that seems unbearable? Are you feeling angst and anxiety that has overtaken your daily schedule? My approach is client centered, warm and non judgmental. I feel it is important to create a safe space for all individuals. I think addressing the whole individual (mind, body, and soul) is imperative to healing.
