At times anxiety, depression and/or trauma may impede an individual's natural ability to cope. I believe when a safe and supportive environment is created, individuals may openly explore their struggles and find healthier ways of coping. I have many years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults and families regarding development, disabilities, neurodevelopmental disorders, and brain injury/stroke. For the past 10 years, I have specialized in supporting sexual and gender diverse children, youth, and families.

I help people who are struggling with anxiety, stress management, and burnout move through life with less tension. Change isn’t about lowering your standards or “trying harder” - it's about trying differently. By exploring the underlying systems that create these experiences therapy can help you understand how they are maintained, and how to create meaningful change without losing what matters most. I know that not all stressors can be changed, but I also believe we have the power to respond to them in ways that allow us to live a life that is aligned with what is important to us. Together we can explore what this means for you.

Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin. They might be carrying the weight of past experiences, struggling with anxiety, self-criticism, or patterns that feel out of their control.

Losing someone you love, saying goodbye to a beloved pet, the end of a friendship or relationship, or carrying the wounds of trauma, rejection, or abandonment can feel like your heart has been torn open — leaving you raw, numb, or overwhelmed with grief and emptiness. In the midst of that pain, it’s easy to feel invisible, unworthy, or completely alone. But your hurt is real, your feelings matter, and you don’t have to face this darkness by yourself. My passion is creating a safe, supportive space where you can openly share your experiences, emotions, and struggles.

Life often calls us to pause, look deeper, and attune to the subtle landscapes that shape our reality. Many clients seek therapy for concerns such as, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or relationship challenges. Often, they have a sense that these symptoms may be connected to something deeper or unresolved but need support to get there. In our work together, we slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with your own inner compass.
