Providing psychotherapy is my vocation. I believe in the healing power of safe connections. I will approach you with a compassionate curiosity and that will help you to know yourself more deeply, take risks to grow, and feel more confident in your daily life. I often work with the nervous system to honor how you have survived what life has given you, metabolize trauma, and allow new ways of coping to emerge. My hope is to support you in being more present, joyful and fully alive. I believe in the capacity of the human spirit to survive and thrive through transitions and life’s challenges.

If you are at a crossroad, feeling stuck, or coping with challenges that have come your way, therapy is a good place to connect with someone who can help untangle what is happening in your life. I believe that you are the expert on you and I have set of skills that may helpful in sorting out these concerns or questions you may have. Some of the important elements of my practice include safety, unpacking both strengths and challenges as well as on going collaboration between therapist and client.

Many of us are trying to manage depressive feelings, anxious thoughts, and relationship issues. Many of us long for more connection with the important people in our lives. Sadly, like a frustrating circle, lack of connection with others frequently leads to increased depression and anxiety, which in turn increases your sense of isolation. Bringing awareness and understanding to the emotions underneath your communication with others, as well as learning how to verbalize these emotions so others better understand your experience, can be helpful in decreasing these distressing symptoms.

Emotional and relational peace, joy, and power can feel impossible and elusive sometimes. But, often it takes one small first step to shift your life towards greater health. I love working with people ready to invite themselves to take that small step and see where it leads. If you've been struggling with anxiety, depression, self-doubt, relationship problems, upsetting personal experiences, or life transitions/losses, I hope you'll take the small step.

Genuine healing begins with gentle awareness and self-compassion. Together we will create a trusting and respectful space where you can pause and truly listen to yourself. I will invite you to honor the resiliency of your human spirit and grow in understanding and appreciation of your strengths, struggles and belonging. With this awareness, you can consider new options and develop healthier and more sustaining habits and resources. We will work to help you act towards yourself with kindness instead of judgement and responsiveness instead of reactivity so that you may choose your path forward with confidence and coherence.

To name and work through patterns in our selves or our family takes courage and hard work. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I support clients by making therapy sessions safe and productive. I prioritize client's feeling heard while also keeping them focused on who they want to become.

I have over twenty years of experience working with individuals and families struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and relationship difficulties. I believe that the power of listening is even more important these days and that the best therapy is a true collaboration. We'll take the time you need to feel understood and develop a plan. You may know what you need or have vague concerns. Either way, we'll figure it out.
