From the outside, it looks like you have a good life. And you do, indeed, have many things for which to be grateful. But, in reality, you feel unsettled. You feel like you are living life according to someone else’s values, or according to what’s expected of you. You are aching to do something different, something you may have been thinking about for a long time…but you’re afraid to take the leap. Maybe you fear that your loved ones won't approve, or maybe you feel guilty or uncertain for wanting something different than the status quo. Change feels too risky, anxiety shows up, and your mind keeps you stuck...while time marches on.

Life presents us all with a series of complex challenges. Everyone needs help sometimes in managing life's twists and turns. I believe that therapy can be an incredible tool to learn to navigate struggles in more adaptive ways. If you are struggling, you deserve a kind and compassionate therapist who will work with you to develop goals and implement strategies to help you create and maintain positive change.

I am a Holistic Mental Health Therapist with certifications also in plant based nutrition and integrative medicine for mental health. I like to treat the mind, body, and spirit in order to achieve true balance, growth, and healing. My favorite methods of treatment and interventions include Mindfulness, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy(ACT), meditation, breathwork, subtle energy healing, food/herbs as medicine, nature healing, expressive therapies, and Mind-Body . Allow me to assist you with individualized treatment, goal setting, and support to keep you on your path and journey to your highest self.

Making a decision to begin the journey of therapy takes courage, commitment, and the willingness to change. It is not an easy decision, but well worth the effort and with much to gain. I will provide you with a safe haven to explore obstacles impacting your ability to succeed and make lasting changes in your daily life. My approach is collaborative, strength-based, and multidimensional. I use a myriad of approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, family systems, and mindfulness-based techniques.

We all need help from time to time. I can help you understand your difficulties better, including the conflicts inside yourself and the difficulties in relationships. I will help you identify what you are wanting and assist you with the steps to get there, covering the obstacles along the way. If you are having: relationship difficulties, or keep coming back to feelings of depression, anxiety, anger, or are struggling with issues around sexuality, I will help you reduce the pain.

You’re working hard to keep it together, because that’s what you do. It seems like it's easier to take care of other people, or throw yourself into working for change, than it is to take care of yourself. You’re ready to feel seen, but you aren’t entirely sure how to get from here to there. Imagine what it would be like to feel ease in your body. You would be grounded in who you are, and have the resources to face what comes--processing past traumas, navigating hurdles that are unfolding today, or building a life that’s moving towards your values.

I believe therapy is a tool that can be used by everyone to help make life more manageable. During these uncertain times I am now offering virtual appointments that can be done in the safety and comfort of your own home. When we feel our life is out of control or we're unable to manage it, we may go to extremes to try and regain control. Most of the methods we turn to in these situations may seem to help in the beginning, but more often than not they end up hurting us in the long run. I believe this is where therapy can help to find healthy and productive ways to gain a sense of confidence and capability to handle struggles.

There are three type of people that I LOVE to help: Parents who are at their wits end with their kids, young adults who are resentful/angry with their family and pregnant/postpartum folks who are undergoing an identity shift. Understanding family dynamics and the impacts that they have are a huge part of how I practice clinically.

Making the choice to see a mental health professional is a wonderful first step. It comes with an acknowledgment that something might be holding you back from living your life fully to feel happier and to achieve your goals. Perhaps you want to see a therapist because you are experiencing anxiety, grief, or relationship issues that prevent you from feeling fulfilled. Maybe you are experiencing a transition in your life that feels stressful. You may want to explore how to make a change in your life. I can help you wherever you are in your journey.

Depressed? Anxious? Relationship issues? Anger? Are you feeling overwhelmed and frustrated with daily life? Do you feel that no one truly understands how you are feeling?

Do you just need one day of peace? Are you looking for balance in life, self love, acceptance and personal growth?

I am a client centered therapist which means that the client is leading the process of change and is the expert on what is going on in their life. My role as the therapist is to provided the process to effect the change. This process I believe occurs most frequently in the context of a supportive, trusting relationship, and I am skilled at building rapport with people in tough situations. The ideal client would be someone who is interested in identifying and working towards their goals. Finding a good match with a therapist is an important decision.

I strongly believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and feel grateful to be able to understand the experiences and raw emotions that clients bring into session.

Imagine relaxing the grip of the painful past and the scary future. Imagine letting go of limiting stories and habits, and learning to welcome experiences and thoughts with curiosity and appreciation, instead of rigidity and dread. Imagine learning to befriend your feelings, investigate your beliefs, recognize your strengths, and move toward your values, building on what already works. Imagine learning these new skills and attitudes with a compassionate, light-hearted therapist.

Feeling like you struggle to be authentic due to various forms of oppression? I want to help each client unconditionally accept themselves with the use of empathy and understanding in the therapy session. I am not the expert on your story, but rather a co-collaborator and support for your healing. If you are looking to unpack historical or racial trauma I am a safe space for that, as I rely heavily on feminist principles and analyzing the ways marginalization may leave us feeling powerless. I am also a queer affirming provider and have worked with numerous trans and non-binary clients.
