“In the autumnal events of my own experience, I am easily fixated on surface appearances – on the decline of meaning, the decay of relationships, the death of work. And yet if I look more deeply, I may see the myriad of possibilities being planted to bear fruit in some season yet to come.” -Parker Palmer. It takes courage to reach out for help. I’m here to help you find healing in the place you are right now. Together, we will engage in self-exploration, and my goal is to provide a safe, compassionate, and warm space to learn, develop, and achieve your goals. We will work on exploring your resiliency and building skills to cope.

The stressors we experience can significantly impact us. You may feel anxious, have obsessive thoughts, and can’t seem to move past things. You may become overwhelmed, have difficulty concentrating or staying organized, feel moody, or have sleep issues. You might also struggle with school, work, or relationships. Coping and figuring out how to manage can sometimes be difficult. In therapy, we can aim to develop strategies to make things easier for you. We can work together to identify what is holding you back and impacting you in order to resolve it and no longer experience it the same way. I work with teenagers, students, & adults.

I am passionate about working with clients who are seeking to improve their sleep , energy, focus and attention and/or who would like to experience less reactivity, racing thoughts, or panic attacks.

Following a series of sessions, it is very rewarding to see the frequency, intensity or duration of symptoms subside and clients more able to access and use tools such as mindfulness, meditation or yoga in order to manage day to day stresses.

I work with clients who suffer from various emotional difficulties such as depression, anxiety and trauma. I focus on educating the client what she or he is going through and together we design strategies that help cope with the emotional difficulties.

We also offer physical rehabilitation at our clinic for clients who have chronic pain and other physical problems co-existing with emotional difficulties.
