“Will it always have to be this way?” This is a statement I hear often from clients when they first come to me. Holding hope for clients until they are able to hold it for themselves is a calling I feel honored to provide.

As a licensed professional therapist, I am able to assist in the following areas: caretaker anxiety, grief and loss, adolescent struggles, trauma, gender and/or sexual identity.

Whether you are caring for a family member, parent, or caring for multiple people at once.

Has a life transition affected your sense of self, self-esteem, and confidence? Do you feel overwhelmed by anxiety and stress? Are you struggling to manage ADHD symptoms as an adult? Is your mental health a barrier to your work as an artist/creative? Liminal spaces are periods of transition that occur between two experiences, places, states, or stages. They can feel challenging, painful, uncomfortable, and difficult to adjust to. They may cause you to feel anxious, stressed, stuck, and unsure how to move forward. Liminal spaces are opportunities to re-evaluate, redefine, creatively problem solve, and transform.

In my experience, people often come to therapy because they are at a crossroads in their life. They may be uncertain about what to do about an important relationship, worried about their use of alcohol, in despair about having lost a loved one, or just needing to talk about the various stressors in their lives, that have left them anxious, depressed, sleepless or struggling to focus. I help people by working with them to better understand the issues that they are facing, the family history that may be influencing them and how to better understand themselves and more skillfully navigate their relationships.
