Life’s challenges can allow one to believe that their situations are unique to them. Mental illness, addiction, stress, grief, and relationship struggles touch the lives of individuals on a daily basis. As women, we tend to believe that we can carry the weight of the world, but meanwhile, we're struggling on the inside. Are you not feeling like yourself and wondering what happened to the "old" you who used to enjoy life? Perhaps you're struggling with a relationship that isn't bringing you the joy it once did, or maybe it's the struggles of parenting. Are you questioning who you are or what's your purpose?

I have 7+ years experience as a therapist. I work with folks from all walks of life, but I work best with people who are looking to overcome their past and feel more empowered in their daily lives. I work well with clients who appreciate a holistic approach mixed with down to earth strategies. I incorporate frankness and humor to help make therapy feel relaxed and natural. I love to work with clients who want to learn to cope with trauma, disordered eating, grief, prenatal, postnatal and parenting concerns, and relationship issues.

If you are feeling stuck, are tired of repeating unhealthy patterns in your life, or feel like you need a change and aren’t sure where to start, then therapy can be a useful way to explore these areas and work towards gaining more control over your life and your emotions.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, grief or a loss of a sense of yourself that effects your day-to-day life, relationships, ability to function, or career? Do you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or lost trying to get through daily activities? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed or uncertain about overcoming a difficult relationship, working through a loss, and finding their place in life.

My most enjoyable times in therapy are the moments when a person realizes they have it within them to recognize a change to be made, the skills to do it, and feels successful. To experience that life changing moment with them is awe-inspiring. Some call this an "A-ha moment," "light bulb going off," or an "epiphany." Instead, I call this the moment when a person switches the channel of their inner voice from: self-blaming, hyper-critical, guilt driven, and fear-mongering to one that is: self-compassionate, self-forgiving, self-empowering, self-accepting, and value-driven.
