I once had a counselor say to me ‘you don’t get into this profession unless you’ve been through hard times,’ and in a moment when I felt isolated and alone, those words were incredibly meaningful and ultimately life-changing for me. I’m here because I have had hard moments in my life (like all humans!) and I want to use what I’ve learned through those experiences and how I’ve grown, to help others find their way through the dark experiences of life. You’re not alone, I will help you! My overarching goal as a therapist is to help each client find peace, acceptance, and contentment within themselves, their body and their life.

I have a compassionate, holistic approach, with a healthy sense of humor. I work with children, adolescents, and adults, including mental health professionals. I support children and adolescents with behavioral or emotional struggles so that they can learn more effective communication and developmentally mature behavior. I work with adults with emotional difficulties due to work stress, relationship difficulties, compassion fatigue, or chronic physical, emotional, or situational stressors.

Whether you're a parent struggling with the balance of it all, a healthcare worker who's overworked and burnt out, or a therapist who feels like they have nothing left to give, I'm here to hold space for you and help you find new ways of coping. My motto in therapy is often, "It's not about feeling better but getting better at feeling". Emotions do not disappear overnight but we can find so many strategies to cope with them to improve our day-to-day life.

My ideal client is someone ready to make a change that propels them to their next chapter in life. I believe that my clients most value my ability to remain optimistic while keeping a firm grasp on reality. We all want to reach the highest levels of self actualization, but if your anxiety, depression, or ADHD are making it hard to complete daily living tasks that may feel out of reach. My diverse experience helps me accurately empathize with a variety of life issues. I have previously worked as a primary grade teacher, residential eating disorder treatment, and assisting a psychiatrist specializing in ADHD treatment for adults.

In life, each moment we encounter invites us to know the world and ourselves more deeply. Unfortunately, it is often our most painful moments that can leave us feeling confused, angry, or grieved. Whether you are dealing with struggles in the present, grappling with trials from your past, or just looking for a safe space to process and grow, you are more than the pain you have endured, and Healing. Is. Possible. If this story feels all too familiar for you, I understand, and I am glad you are here.

I believe we all have the capacity to improve our lives and understand ourselves more fully. It takes a great deal of courage to ask for help. Appreciating and respecting that courage, my work is to help my clients attain their goals. We do this together as a team. Being stuck personally or professionally is poignantly uncomfortable. Together we can move thru and beyond this state and get to the other side. To address your individuality I utilize a wide array of interventions: mindfulness-based talk therapy, somatic techniques, art therapy, music therapy.

Through a focus on insight and empowerment, I help clients heal wounds incurred against their bodies, minds and/or spirit allowing them to feel stronger, more accepting, more whole, more clear, and more motivated for change. I have a special interest in issues such as trauma/PTSD, self-esteem, identity, perfectionism, loss, anger, depression and life transitions. My style is empathic and supportive, but also truthful and authentic. When appropriate I will utilize my sense of humor, celebrate small steps, and seek out the simple joys that can guide us through dark times.

Change can be overwhelming at times. Sometimes the change seems so big it is hard to know where to start. The focus of my work is to meet the client where he/she is at and help identify steps for change. I use a variety of cognitive and sensory techniques to help clients break out of old patterns and cope with the stressors of life.
