Part of being alive is to experience fear, doubt, depression, and a multitude of events that bring about suffering. Of course, there are varying degrees, as some people are just having trouble adjusting to a circumstance in their life and need a little support in the right direction. For others, the problem may be chronic such as PTSD or depression. Most certainly, the state of American politics and the world today, have raised most people's base level of anxiety or depression.

I take an active, collaborative, holistic approach to therapy which aims to highlight and enhance your own strengths, supports, insight and self awareness. I work primarily with anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, relationship and interpersonal difficulties, grief/loss, and I treat substance use and behavioral or process addictions through a Harm Reduction approach. I enjoy working with clients experiencing spiritual or creative blocks, family or relationship issues, and life transitions. I am specialized in work with clients who wish to work on recovering from traumatic experiences using EMDR or Prolonged Exposure therapy.

While the basic process of personal change is fairly simple: "Stop doing the unwanted behavior and start doing the wanted behavior", we all tend to struggle in these endeavors. Why? Because we are products of our learned behaviors, habits, and patterns. I believe that everyone has the power to change and that using therapy can be a very helpful way to make your desired change a reality! If you are considering making a change in your life, feel like you want to stop suffering, or need some help in carrying out your plans for change, I would be honored to help you.

You are resourceful, smart, and completely baffled why it often feels like joy and peace are just out of your reach. You play by the rules, work as a team player, leading and caring for others, and put on a pretty amazing game face. Yet, on the inside, you worry how you measure up, what others must be thinking and feeling about you, all driven by this little nagging push to hustle, do more, be more. You're ready to say "enough" to this fear of missing out, "enough" to hustling for your worth, and most importantly you're ready to say, "I am enough."

The ideal client for me is someone that wants to learn about themselves and grow. They are someone that may be looking for answers, progress, improvement in their lives, and to learn about themselves. Their goals are what they want and need, and/or them not knowing what they want or need in life.
