The focus of my work is to help you learn how to manage change, overcome obstacles and learn safe and healthy coping skills in order to help you command your life day to day. My purpose is to help you to start to feel unstuck and learn to manage the stressors we are often faced with every day, whether it be work, relationships, finances, or other triggers. It is easy to become overwhelmed and I will work with you to help you move forward. I offer a safe and supportive space in order for us to explore your feelings, thoughts, and behaviors in a mindful way while also challenging you to make constructive changes.

Over half of my work is with couples. I see and hear needs and feelings long suppressed for fear of being hurt. I empathize and acknowledge real wrongs and real emotional damage to trust and respect. I hear both sides. I also offer hope. I recognize in marital conflict clear evidence that they still mean so much to each other. I know how difficult a process forgiveness and then trust building really are. Slowly, when even one spouse is ready to love again, I equip them to express their hearts with a gentle strength, and to hear with compassion.

If technological advances allow for connection even more than before, then why do you feel so disconnected? Sometimes, your life can feel like it is on autopilot and no one cares. Why does life seem meaningless and uncertain at times? Loneliness is stigmatized in our society. Individuals can be in a relationship and still feel lonely. Sometimes a single event can prevent us from really connecting to others around us. You need help to rediscover yourself so that you can reconnect with the ones you love. Perhaps your family or your child is experiencing similar concerns, they deserve help too. You deserve to live your best life.

Do you feel as though something intangible is missing from your life, despite having met many of the metrics by which our culture defines "success"? I accompany those who are grappling with feeling stuck, inhibited, stymied by self-sabotage, or simply need a witness for their present moment. My ideal client holds the hope that psychotherapy can enrich, illuminate, and deepen the lives we already have. If you identify as "sensitive", an "overthinker", or just have had an enduring hunch that there is more to life than what is visible on the surface, our work together just might be the slow cure you need.

We all experience difficulties at some point in our lives. At times these difficulties can become overwhelming, and we struggle to cope. This can be from one incident or many over several years. Sometimes these events make us feel stuck and can even impact us many years later. Wherever you are in your journey, I am here to assist you through the healing process and ultimately help you get unstuck.

20 years experience working alongside people as they strengthen their inner knowledge and outward interactions. Therapy can bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be. I think a lot about the brain and and how we unconsciously replicate patterns. The work I do uses current brain based therapy approaches to help integrate outdated patterns into newer more helpful ones.

Welcome and thank you for your interest in getting to know me.

My clients start with feelings of exhaustion, frustration, guilt, and impatience and together we work to build resilience, energy, and greater ability to care for themselves as well as others.

Are you afraid? Depressed? Annoyed? We alI struggle with these at times. If you are at a place where the situations in your life feel like "too much", I am passionate about working with you to find peace and healing in the midst of it. Together we can work to name the strengths you have that will aid you in life. From the moment you walk in, my goal is to provide you with a place where you feel safe to work through issues at your own pace, while experiencing me as an ally in your work. I strive to create an environment where clients can realize their strengths, heal from their hurts, and truly flourish.

Put most simply, my approach to psychotherapy is centered around helping you come to know yourself as fully as possible. Many people come to me in search of a more depth-oriented approach to therapy. Many approaches out there right now, in the interest of attempting to reduce symptoms as quickly as possible, may miss the mark in terms of understanding the “why” of it all, the more nuanced understanding of why our difficulties and symptoms are there to begin with, how they actually may have been serving us in some way, and their connection to our relational patterns and our past developmental experiences.

​Sometimes life can throw unpredictable obstacles your way that completely knocks you off of your game. It happens to the best of us and when we least expect it. Just as you feel you have things figured out, the rug is pulled from under you. As a result, you may be experiencing feelings of stress, anxiety, depression, anger and frustration. Simple tasks can feel like mountains to overcome as everything piles on. How do you manage these obstacles? Where is your safe space to share your struggles?
