The way I can be of most help is by aligning with you, to sort out difficult thoughts and feelings that continue to get in your way or cause you pain. If you are experiencing feelings of loneliness, depression, or anxiety, you need to know that there are ways to feel better. I use mindfulness techniques and employ the ACT model of of cognitive behavioral treatment. I combine this with a psychodynamic approach that considers your unique psychological history. I will help you set goals, then work with you as you find your way to achieving them.

I believe our mental health in order to live a meaningful, happy, and fulfilling life is of paramount importance. I approach my work with great care and privilege. I actively work alongside individuals in their journey to achieve this mental health. I understand symptoms as a way for our bodies to communicate the existence of painful underlying emotions. My ideal client is someone who is interested in exploring why these symptoms have presented themselves and to work collaboratively in healing from these painful emotions and resulting symptoms.

Our day to day lives are complex, busy, and demanding. Stressors inevitably arise. When they do, we may become overwhelmed and fall back into unexamined patterns that undermine our progress and leave us feeling stuck. Talk therapy can help improve life satisfaction through increased self-awareness and effective behavioral change. Many of us may benefit from the opportunity to talk through the challenges we face in our daily lives with a compassionate and interactive listener who can help us see our circumstances more clearly.

I work with a wide range of presenting issues and my style is interactive, authentic and strength-based. I strive to help my clients feel better about themselves, to live authentically and to understand the factors and issues that may prevent them from feeling able to live their lives to their full potential. I value the power of deep listening, empathy and validation of experience while also providing a sense of hope and the courage and skills to achieve positive change.

"You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.” – C.S. Lewis. Therapy provides an opportunity to focus on oneself to work through difficult, sometimes uncomfortable, periods in life. Therapy also encourages self-reflection as a means of improving various aspects of life, such as self-confidence and personal relationships. I utilize a motivational, individual-centered therapeutic approach to help my clients discover their own resiliency and internal strength. By working together in a safe, supportive environment, we are able to achieve positive change and strengthen coping skills.

*Practice Currently Full* Life can feel really overwhelming at times, especially when you are trying to manage the daily grind, while also being present in your personal and professional relationships. When you have a busy and demanding life your personal relationships often take a back burner and it’s hard to deal with problems effectively in the moment. Sometimes it’s easier to numb out with unhealthy habits like over drinking, over or undereating, scrolling social media, or overworking. But, eventually these habits leave you feeling more stressed and disconnected, and problems that once appeared small snowball into larger issues.

Note: Accepting short term clients (4-6 weeks) beginning June 1st! Hello :) Beginning the search for a therapist can feel daunting, intimidating or overwhelming. I work with clients who are seeking to deeply embody their questions, reflections and emotions through dance-movement therapy (primarily authentic movement) and arts-based exploration (visual arts and writing). The clients I work with define themselves as deep feelers and imaginative thinkers.

Unfortunately, the stressors of life are unlikely to go away; it's part of the human experience to face change, illness, loss, disappointment, frustration, and anger. While we can't make these challenges disappear, we can learn to relate to them in a new way, one that allows for acceptance, compassion, and appreciation for the present moment. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Dance/Movement Therapist, and Certified Yoga Teacher, I blend contemplative practices with traditional talk therapy and psychoeducation to support your mental, emotional, physical and spiritual growth.

Therapy changes lives! Whether you are in crisis or just know that it is time to make some lifestyle changes, therapy can help. There is a transformative power found in therapy that can be achieved through building a trusting connection between a client and therapist. I strive to create a safe and nurturing environment that fosters healing, self-discovery, and growth. I commend those who are willing to take that critical first step and create meaningful change in their lives.I tailor my approach for each individual, drawing on evidenced-based interventions, such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy.

I am not accept new clients at this time. I work to create a space without judgment where clients can learn, heal and grow. I work with people living with life transitions, trauma, grief/life losses and chronic illness/burns with compassion, while acknowledging the unique experience of each person. Every client I meet comes with their own set of gifts, challenges, supports and dreams. No one tells the same story as another...and I welcome the distinctiveness of each client. Entering therapy can be a scary process. I take great pride in my ability to create a safe space to partner and explored with each client uniquely.

I appreciate that people often feel blocked, unable to reach their goals or uncertain on how to live their ideal lives. I help my clients identify patterns, themes, and barriers that may be in their way, and then work collaboratively with them to move or shift these concepts so my clients can ultimately reach their goals.

I help people alleviate uncomfortable feelings, gain insight, and increase coping skills to overcome stress, anxiety, depression and life transitions (such as relocation, career transitions). Part of being human means that you will struggle at some point with unproductive thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, or unexpectedly have to manage something life throws your way. Clients I work with are motivated to develop advanced life skills to increase their happiness, self-confidence and emotional health and well-being and are seeking tools to assist them in the process.

Life is never straightforward, and we are often left facing changes that are both surprising and difficult to navigate. Our shift into a new role, a disappointment at work, a problem in a relationship can cause us to feel anxious, angry, sad, and confused. We try our best to manage these struggles and their resulting shifts in mood and achievement, sometimes using coping strategies that turn out to be more problematic than helpful. We are left thinking, what happened? Will I ever feel like my old self? Why can't I just get over this?

I am a licensed independent clinical social worker specializing in mental health treatment.

Together, we will process religious, physical, or emotional trauma holding you back from the job, relationships, or life you truly desire.
