Feeling stuck? Trapped by life? Helpless? Our daily routines can often result in a feeling of complacency that can prevent your life from changing. You know that gut feeling that lingers...this is your intuition letting you know a change is needed & I’m here to encourage you that change is possible. That quiet voice knows what you need, and your needs are important, yet often ignored. Self care is not selfish, it’s necessary. It’s a focus on stressing less about what’s out of our control, and making that choice to prioritize personal needs. You cannot pour into your relationships, family, job, or responbilities if you are empty.

We all sometimes feel we have to handle life on our own, but even the strongest of us can benefit from help.

These include but are not limited to addictions, relationship concerns, sexuality concerns, low self-esteem, perfectionism, social anxiety, LGBTQA issues, body image difficulties, co-dependency issues, and grief and loss.

I continually work to create an environment that feels safe, warm, and supportive for each person. My goals as a therapist are to establish connection, to be adaptable and creative enough that differences are respected and more alternatives explored, and to identify strengths that can be used as a foundation for coping. As a part of the process, goals are set to create balance between work, life, and self. Ultimately, an ideal client would recognize the need for more or a need for something to change in their situation and be brave enough to take the first major step and call.

I enjoy working with people dealing with life transitions, and those working to survive and thrive through trauma, depression, anxiety, and other oppressive life events and conditions. I have an affinity for those identifying with issues related to being a woman in a society that has been unkind to women. The people with whom I work want to reach their personal best and feel good about themselves and their lives. They also want to drop the "mask" and live authentically without regret.
