Are you experiencing difficulties with life issues, circumstances and the current present-day crisis that may be provoking increased anxiety and frustration? Do you need to talk about your feelings, be heard and validated by a compassionate, trusted professional?

Parenting is hard, working is stressful, attempting to date during a pandemic is challenging and juggling EVERYTHING is exhausting. You don't have to keep all of these balls in motion alone. I create a professional, working relationship with each of my clients to give them the perspective, space and freedom to deconstruct the hurdles that they are facing, because trying to accomplish that by yourself is nearly impossible. Let's see what IS possible.

Beginning therapy is a wonderful challenge and opportunity, one that I am committed to partnering in. My work often focuses on helping clients enact change, manage symptoms, cultivate meaning and live authentically. Additionally, my therapeutic stance is open, empathic and collaborative, creating a non-judgmental space to connect in the valued areas of your life. I am committed to considering the multifaceted aspects of your identity, in understanding your lived experience and moving towards your goals.

When your world has gone dark, I can help you find the light again. You’ve lost a loved one and hoped you’d be feeling better by now, but you’re not. You didn’t expect grief to be this hard. You might be afraid to talk about your loved one out of fear of feeling like a burden, fear of being judged, or worrying about upsetting others who are also grieving. While everyone else in your life may have expectations on how you should be grieving or living your life; I don’t. With me you'll be able to share what troubles you the most about your loss instead of keeping it inside. Together I can help you find a path out of darkness.

Therapy is a process. I see a goal of therapy as helping clients to ease emotional distress. To this end, I incorporate interpersonal therapy and cognitive behavior techniques, as well as mindfulness and other coping strategies, to help clients achieve desired levels of functioning and overall mental health. This is part of your journey, and I will respect the path(s) you choose to take or not. I bring to my practice a wealth of experience and knowledge to my practice, which I readily share with clients.
