Are you going through a sudden life transition and are feeling lost or overwhelmed? Are you consumed with worry, fear and anxious thoughts that take up your time, energy and keep you up at night? Are you feeling unsure of what's next? I can help support you as you navigate this transition. My goal is to create a non-judgmental and supportive environment to help process life’s challenges. Let me help you quiet down your inner critic and offer a safe space to process and explore your inner world. Let's connect and get started on working towards your happiness.

I specialize in working with teens and adults who find that limiting beliefs and stress are preventing them from reaching their full potential. As a client, you are an over-achiever and someone who appears to achieve in all areas of life. You believe in perfection versus completing something as "good enough." You show enthusiasm and capability to the world but feel exhausted, overwhelmed, stressed, fearful, and inadequate. I also run 8 and 9-week groups for preteens, teens, and adults. Please view the groups tab for more information or my website.

If you had a sore throat you'd see a doctor, right? We are taught as a society to take care of our physical health, but our mental health is no different! Are you having difficulty managing a big transition in your life? Are you experiencing feelings of depression or anxiety? Are you grieving a loss? Are you struggling in your relationship? If so, you don't have to handle it alone. My name is Savannah. I'm a mental health professional here to help and work along side you to find your way back to healthy functioning.

Even when we have received the ideal nurturing, secure, validating childhood, which can help us to negotiate complexities and challenges we may face later in life, our inner resources can become depleted. The capacity to find joy and comfort may elude us. Rebalancing areas of outer life, and planning steps toward change may be in order. I make time to learn about the myriad ways that using art, energetic, somatic and stress reducing therapies can help each person who comes in, to restore their inner lives as well.

In my fifteen years of working in the behavioral health field, I have witnessed the damage that unmanageable behavior can have on individuals and those they love. This behavior is usually manifested in the misuse of drugs, and often an untreated (or undiagnosed) mental health condition such as PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, or Bipolar Disorder. By the time individuals seek help for these conditions, most often there has been a tremendous amount of hurt, shame, and guilt. I have a strong commitment to providing treatment in a safe, respectful, and confidential setting where individuals and families can begin to heal from these painful wounds.

My hope is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space to offer you the opportunity for self-growth, self-reflection, and develop ultimate balance within yourself. My practice is psychodynamically informed and inspired by a belief that properly guided therapeutic work can provide a sense of freedom when we are motivated and willing to make brave changes. My priority is to build a strong therapeutic connection in order to inspire and support your growth. I specialize in adolescents and adults struggling with mood disorders, substance abuse/misuse disorders, eating disorders, gender identity and sexuality issues, and survivors of trauma.

I am a skilled and experienced psychotherapist and certified yoga teacher offering an eclectic, individualized and holistic approach to clients. I provide ongoing or short term support, guidance and skills to those having difficulty coping with life transitions, dysfunctional patterns of thinking or behaviors and traumatic events. I treat adults, children and families who are open and willing to participate in self-discovery and find deeper connection to their truest self. I believe the frenzied pace of our frenetic lifestyle often prevents us from connecting with our own wisdom. I take great joy in helping others envision and manifest their potential.

I have learned that when we can increase our ability to regulate our stress response, we can truly change the way we engage in our life in a more meaningful and purposeful way. You don’t have to believe that stress and anxiety controls your life, you have the agency to choose how you breathe and how you move. It starts with bringing awareness to these aspects of you first and then working with your capacity where you are. I’d love to be a part of your evolution and I am eager to get to apply this unique integrative lens that combines multiple modalities through a compassionate trauma-informed lens.

Are you ready to zero in on your goals at last? Or do you need to stop and take stock of what the heck is happening, inside and out, right now?

As humans we are born innately curious, equipped with tools and perseverance to succeed in life. We are so strong and capable, full of great intuition and instincts. As babies and young children, we know our own truth and speak it confidently. As we grow, in order to fit in with life and society around us, we compromise our needs and ideals. We want to please others and feel acceptance. As a result, we may sacrifice our own beliefs. Trauma and oppression become obstacles in our path to healthy relationships, with our self and others. We feel individual, collective, and societal pain.

I work best with Individuals and couples in recovery from addiction as well as those families and friends affected by the chaos born of addiction. I work often with those who are in the midst of big life transitions; with self esteem issues; and individuals and couples who have difficulty with intimacy.

Are you willing to take a long, compassionate look at how you got to this point and what steps you will need to take to begin a process of change?
