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.

I've had the pleasure of seeing the positive impacts that therapy can have in the toughest of times. While the journey may not always be easy, I will always believe in your ability to do hard things. Witnessing people navigating through their most challenging moments and emerge empowered, having undergone personal growth, reaffirms my belief in the transformative power of therapy, and you. Currently accepting new clients (youth and young adults), both in-person and virtual.

Let’s face it: becoming a mom can be incredibly challenging. There is little to prepare you for the reality of postpartum and the identity shift that can happen in motherhood. I know the lonely nights, overwhelming days, racing thoughts, and feeling that I don’t recognize myself or my life anymore. How would it feel to not have your mood run your day? To feel more at-ease with your decisions. To embrace the joy. I’m that mom friend you meet at drop-off that's been in your shoes and I can help you make your experience of motherhood what you want it to be.

You look at your life, and find that something feels off. Maybe your sex life is not what you imagined it would be. Or you’re not feeling fulfilled in your relationship/s. You know what's important to you - connection? intimacy? adventure? family? - but something prevents you from living life to the fullest. Perhaps anxiety, low mood, self-criticism, or shame get in the way. Or you’ve faced a stressor or health issue that has brought new roadblocks. You may have even been on autopilot for so long, being the kind of person you “should” be for others, that you don’t know exactly who you are anymore.

Are you stuck in a pattern of people-pleasing, overanalyzing, and intense anxiety / panic that feel impossible to control? Maybe you were the scapegoat in a family with emotionally immature parents, having to basically raise yourself? You keep trying harder, working harder, doing more, but you're exhausted and constantly walking on eggshells, waiting for the other shoe to drop. You've tried all the things - self-help, meditation, gym, yoga, breathwork, maybe self-medicating with substances - but nothing works for long. You're stuck in functional freeze, your nervous system is shut-down, and you long for a sense of safety.

You find yourself freezing during sex, going numb, unable to stay present. You can’t explain these reactions or predict them. Maybe you find yourself reacting with discomfort or even total disgust to the idea of sex. You hate when intimate scenes come on TV or in movies. You want to connect with your partner in an intimate way, but it feels inaccessible to you. Perhaps there are some difficult experiences in your past, and you find yourself wondering if these may be having an impact on your sex life today; maybe not. Either way, you want things to change because you can’t stop running from this.
