You have this one life; it should feel the way you want it to! But maybe instead it feels overwhelming. Maybe you wonder "What's wrong with me?" "Why do I feel like this?" "Why can't I stop over-thinking?" "Why do I get overpowered by my feelings?" You've tried to change and you still end up feeling awful about yourself or disconnected & frustrated in your relationships. Are you ready to feel differently? To have more confidence in dealing with whatever comes each day? Do you want to have more control even when your emotions are strong? Let's change things! Life CAN feel the way you want it to. I'd love to help you learn how.

My philosophy of therapy is that people sometimes get to a point in life where they can no longer tolerate old ways of dealing with problems (i.e. substance abuse, avoidance, blaming, hiding, etc). No matter how big or how small those problems are, you may need to establish new ways of coping. I strongly believe that people can begin to recover from many mental health issues by setting their sights on the life they want, rather than continuing to run from the life they don't want. If you feel like you've been living in darkness, and want to feel the light on your face (or in your heart) again; I suggest you consider therapy.

Life can become overwhelming, overstimulating, and heavy. You may carry grief, sorrow, anger, stress, and worry in your mind and body. Maybe you experience waves in life where you lose your sense of self, your connection to the world around you, and you may lose meaning or hope during those difficult seasons. I seek to provide guidance for those who are open to the process of self-discovery and healing. My experience lies in working with CPTSD, PTSD, chronic stress, depression, anxiety, self-identity, life transitions, and spiritual concerns. I am passionate about providing gender affirming and culturally sensitive care.

From the outside looking in, people see someone who “has it together.” Perhaps this is related to your family, job, marriage or community. From the inside looking out, you see a world full of pressures, expectations and a need to cultivate happiness for those in your life, sometimes at the expense of your own sanity. I often hear from clients that they feel “stuck” in the same cycle of life and can’t seem to find satisfaction, despite having many of life’s “checkboxes” marked off. Experiences of chronic anxiety and worry are common though they keep moving through the motions of life.

If you are reading this, just know that you have taken an important first step in your mental health recovery. It has been my privilege to work with a very diverse group of clients of varying races, ethnicities, nationalities, genders and gender identities, sexual orientations, religions, disabilities, etc. I have also worked with clients of all ages, but most of my work has been with those age 13 and older. I draw mainly from the evidence-based treatments of cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive processing therapy, and dialectical behavioral-informed therapeutic interventions.

You probably want relief more than anything and I focus on providing that immediately when we begin working together. Our relationship will become a safe space to explore, restructure, and heal parts of your life that are important to you. I am laid-back, nonjudgmental, and empathetic, but I am also challenging which I believe is important to the healing process. I would love to meet you and see if we're a good fit!

Finding the right therapist, taking that first step, is one of the most difficult parts of therapy. Finding a good fit when it comes to a therapeutic relationship is key to gaining symptom relief and creating lasting change in your life. My purpose is to provide a relaxed, comfortable, and trusting environment to help you gain insight into behaviors that are keeping you stuck and elicit the change you are seeking.
