"Working toward clarity and balance at home and work." I believe insight plus action makes for positive changes. I have a great appreciation and respect for my clients as they use their resources and tap into their inner strength and wisdom toward setting goals and making positive changes. Therapy is about making changes and it is my honor to help my clients find their personal path toward their goals. The more I can help a person be connected and honest with themselves, the more they will make decisions, take action, and reach their destination toward their most authentic, happy self.

I believe that we all hold the answers to life’s questions deep within ourselves. That buried beneath the layers of self-doubt, fear, shame, there is an inner wisdom that can guide us not only towards healing, but towards an embodied life aligned with our values. As a therapist, I see my role as a collaborative guide on your journey towards reconnecting with this "felt sense" or intuition. Healing takes place when we are seen, validated, and accepted for all that we are, and I am passionate about providing a non-judgemental, safe space that celebrates the fullness of your humanity.

Do you feel stuck, stalled, and overwhelmed? Do you feel shame, grief, or isolation? You might feel debilitating worry, have chronic sadness, or even struggle to get out of bed every day. You probably feel lost, unsteady, and lonely. Perhaps you don’t know why you feel so empty and dissatisfied, but nothing you try seems to produce long-term changes. Or, maybe you are aware of a particular issue causing you pain, such as an unfulfilling job or relationship, and carry deep self-doubt or shame. This discomfort is the part of you that is longing for something different. But another part feels unsure and uncomfortable with change.

We are born with an inherent connection to ourselves, free of judgment, guilt, or shame. Life experiences and societal expectations shape our understanding of ourselves and our place in the world. When we experience trauma or prolonged stress, we can develop feelings of anxiety, shame, guilt, depression, hopelessness, and isolation. These feelings block us from building and maintaining connections with our families, friends, communities, and ourselves. This isolation can lead to destructive habits and compulsions that undermine the successes we achieve.

Many of us know what we need to do to move forward—but find ourselves unable to take the leap to make it happen.

Are you a people pleaser and want to do the "right thing" yet struggle to make decisions? Are you overstimulated by sensory input and/or feel exhausted more easily than others? You are not alone.
