Life seems to always be throwing challenges in our way. We find them in our relationships, our jobs, our past, and in all the life situations that seem relentless and overwhelming. I wish we could take away the challenges that are inherently part of being human. Instead, is it possible to navigate the realities of your life in a way that is lighter, more fulfilling, and even more joyful? No matter how unsurmountable your challenges are, do you know there is a better way for you? Do you know that all the answers you are looking for are already right there inside of you?

Are you “thriving” or just “surviving”? Our “life” journey can involve unexpected or unwelcome changes, mental health challenges, grief, pain, loss and so much more. You may feel alone during these times making it even more difficult to cope and make decisions. Unfortunately, too many people go through these times alone and do not need to do that. Everyone, from time-to-time, could benefit from professional, kind, compassionate, and non-judgmental support... “My hope is that you will allow me to share in your personal journey providing you with encouragement and empowerment to live your best life.”

I love working with clients who are motivated for exploration and change, are present both physically and emotionally, and enjoy a balance of support and compassion with humor and sarcasm. Therapy works best with clients who are open to trying new experiences, learning about themselves, and are willing to lean into their discomfort. Meeting people who are in the thick of whatever brings them to counseling, and then watching them bloom into the people they were meant to be is an amazing experience to be a part of.

I see couples and individuals. With couples, I typically assist with communication skills, building trust, intimacy issues, parenting, and several other issues couples may experience. Our goals are typically surrounding having a healthier relationship with each other, themselves, and work towards resolution and letting go of resentments. When it comes to individuals I work with trauma, anxiety, building self esteem, depression, coping skills, and relational problems. These goals revolve around living a healthier and happier life, this can be very complex and my goal is to work towards breaking that down and meeting our goals.

I specialize in Borderline personality disorder, PTSD/Trauma, and co-occurring challenges. My scope of practice includes LGBTQ+ concerns, couples (nonmonogamy), and mood disorders.

I work with a variety of individuals - tall and small, neurotypical and uniquely wired, with and without chronic conditions and diagnoses.

Each individual in the therapeutic alliance is the ideal client for one simple reason - we are each uniquely in a rut, stuck, or confused. To this end imagine being in a pit of quicksand without any sense of direction, worth, or hope. People will walk by and offer advice on how to get out. Others might provide a utensil or medication. Yet none of these address the immediate situation of being in the pit of quicksand. My experience has taught me that clients want someone who will get in the pit with them, without question or judgement. They just do not want to be stuck alone. So I offer to sit with them and just be present.

I help overwhelmed moms because I get it! I help moms find strategies for postpartum & parenting, heal anxiety & trauma and reclaim their spirituality & sexuality. I am familiar with the struggles of mom life, loss & trauma. Moms need a place to say the things they aren't supposed to say aloud, "I regret having kids," "I don't want sex with my partner," or "I'm afraid my trauma is screwing up my kids." I work with moms who are cycle breakers & deep feelers, parenting differently than the way they were parented. I love helping moms increase their confidence & take up space for themselves. If you can relate, I'd love to connect!
