If you are experiencing emotions such as hopelessness, loneliness, sadness, or anger, or perhaps find yourself ruminating on the past, isolating or having difficulty in your relationships; depending on things like drugs, alcohol, or food for comfort, I want you to know that you are not alone.

Life can be so chaotic. But where do you fit into the mix? Maybe you take on the role of looking after everyone around you, or perhaps you've shut down and don't feel like you can be there for yourself or others like you want to be. If this feels familiar, you're not alone! So many of us feel this way at one time or another, but that just makes it all the more important to address. Addressing these concerns can help you become more functional day-to-day by regulating emotions, shifting thoughts, and processing past experiences.

I work with adults who experienced abuse, household dysfunction and neglect during their childhood. Harbored trauma can show up later in life with feelings of inadequacy, unfulfilling relationships, addictions, people-pleasing, having unachievable expectations for yourself/others, and much more. I help clients who have experienced adversity in their younger years understand their thought patterns, attachment styles and work towards creating a life they are comfortable living in.

Currently accepting individual clients only. Many of us -young and older- experience trials in life and in our relationships that challenge our ability to function, feel secure and prosper. We may struggle to cope when life's events compromise and overwhelm our support networks and coping mechanisms. I provide non-judgmental support to help identify and overcome patterns of behaving, thinking and feeling that are no longer adaptive, and help establish new awareness, habits, attitudes and actions. I support adults as they navigate life transitions and the accompanying anxiety, depression, grief and substance use.

Does this sound like you? You're a highly sensitive person and or empath. Maybe you're the Type A, overachieving type who has a hard time truly saying what you mean or setting boundaries with the people in your life. You're passionate about personal growth, willing to "do the work" - maybe you've even been to therapy before. For you, maybe it shows up as anxiety or ADHD, maybe it's a difficult relationship with your mom or dad, a history of childhood trauma, difficulty breaking bad habits, workplace stress/burnout, procrastination, difficulty in your romantic relationship, or a sense of worthlessness you just can't seem to heal.

The path to parenthood has not looked like what you expected. Maybe you’re desperate to start your family, but it’s not happening and you’re terrified that parenthood isn’t going to happen for you. Maybe you’ve experienced the devastation of pregnancy loss and are left grieving in isolation, wondering “does this grief even count if it was “just” a miscarriage?”. Or perhaps you want to add to your family, but this time around it just doesn’t seem to be happening. Baby showers are devastating. “Pregnancy” becomes a swear word. Sex is no longer fun, it is simply a method to conceive/means to finally seeing that double pink line…
