Do you feel weighed down by the world's expectations, emotional labor, big life changes, or burnout? Are you a parent struggling to remember who you are, a partner trying to connect, or just a human trying to figure it out?

Life can sometimes be challenging and painful. There are times when you need someone to talk to that’s objective, an outside source that’s compassionate and will not only listen but understand and “get it”.

Many of my clients come to therapy feeling weighed down by emotions that seem too heavy to carry alone. They may be grieving a loss, healing from trauma, or struggling to manage the demands of multiple identities and roles. Whether you’re an adult or teen, you may long to feel calmer, more connected, and more in control of your emotions. Therapy offers a place to rebuild trust in yourself, honor what you’ve endured, and create space for growth and self-compassion.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you increase self- awareness to get your life back in an improving and transformative way. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first months and sustained improvement thereafter

Hi there! As a therapist, I work with youth and adults using narrative and identity-focused approaches to help you discover and claim your strengths, passions, and stories.

In addition to counseling practice, I am also an educator and facilitator working to co-create a more radically welcoming, inclusive, and kind world. I believe in the power of story-telling, relationships, and experiential learning to help us grow,

Many of us want to have closer, happier, more genuine relationships with our children, spouses, partners, and friends. We may feel stuck, unsatisfied or trapped in our careers or in school, overwhelmed by a strong sense of pressure coming from all directions. There are feelings of stress, anger, guilt or a sense of loneliness that get in the way, too. Often we compare ourselves to others and fall short of expectations. We may look "fine" on the outside, but on the inside, we don't feel fine.

Therapy improves and deepens relationships and helps people experience more freedom, fulfillment and joy. My work is to partner with clients to gain and strengthen self awareness, and to explore underlying fears and struggles that keep us stuck. All of us go through periods of mild to extreme anxiety, depression, relationship issues, low self esteem, unmet goals, procrastination and career dissatisfaction. In addition to experiencing ongoing issues, we all struggle during major life transitions like the loss of a loved one, a move, the birth of a child, starting/ending a relationship, retirement, and losses related to aging/illness.

Since childhood, I’ve been fascinated by what makes people tick, how our minds work and how our experiences shape who we are. That curiosity grew into a passion for helping others understand themselves and create meaningful change. I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma symptoms, stress, relationship challenges, or life transitions, and I also specialize in supporting those with eating disorders or self-harm. My approach blends insight with practical strategies, helping clients build skills to manage symptoms while fostering self-awareness, resilience, and personal growth.

Life can be stressful. We are constantly bombarded with news, both good and bad: requests from family and friends, work deadlines, and living with the unknown. Taking time to talk through our worries, fears, and learn more about ourselves can be endlessly rewarding. How do we learn to have boundaries? How do we learn that self-compassion does not mean selfish? How do we learn to start recognizing patterns and making positive change in our lives? How do we build connection? Therapy can help us achieve these goals while processing our fears, traumas, and doubts, as well as cheering on our accomplishments, no matter their size.

Many people reach a point where life feels “just okay”—not bad, but not truly fulfilling. If you’re ready to feel more aligned, confident, and intentional about your life, coaching can help tremendously. I work with individuals who want to shift their mindset, raise their awareness, and consciously create a more satisfying life. Using Law of Attraction principles along with practical, real-world coaching tools, I help clients identify what they want, align with it, release patterns that no longer serve them, and move forward with clarity and purpose. I share processes, techniques, and perspectives that have been proven to work.

You’re used to being the one others rely on—but lately you may feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from yourself. Many women come to therapy feeling anxious, burned out, or stretched thin from juggling work, caregiving, relationships, and the expectations they place on themselves. If you work in a helping profession—like healthcare, education, or therapy—you may be used to supporting everyone else while quietly carrying your own stress, exhaustion, or compassion fatigue. Therapy offers a space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and begin finding balance again.

Ideal clients respect the boundaries of the relationship and know when and how to use their therapist (who helps). It's an old joke that people come to therapy because of someone else who really needs it, but to me, we're all a little (or a lot) blind to our own stuff. Therapy is, or should be, a safe place. Most seasoned therapists are still in it because they find it effective and personally gratifying. I guess I'm one.
