Your resiliency has gotten you far, but what if you don’t have to keep going at it alone? What if, rather than being “broken” or needing to “get over it already”, you have actually needed - and deserve - the right kind of support for you to heal, grow, and thrive? When we are understood, accompanied, and supported in a deep, reliable way, the healing and transformation we seek can unleash from our own interior. Seemingly paradoxically, deeply connected, safe relationships liberate us. It takes real strength and courage to reach for this kind of support. I hold deep respect for you seeking this out, as well as faith in your process.

Are you overwhelmed? Anxious? Lonely? In emotional or even physical pain? Working hard to care for everyone else and coming up empty within yourself? Feeling isolated in the close relationship you care about most? Therapy offers a safe and confidential place to get some help to develop or perhaps rekindle a lively connection to yourself and your own dreams. If your relationship is suffering, it can help you regain the closeness and intimacy you once had and if you are parents help you nurture your own marriage while raising secure children.

I believe that we hold the ability to challenge ourselves, to grow through maximizing our strengths, and finding unique ways to add to the best parts that already exist within us. I have found that through sharing a space where openness and understanding (and a little bit of humor) are present, you also have the ability to flourish, whether that be through walking the journey alone or with the added support of those who love and care for you. I focus on helping adults, both individuals and couples, with anxiety/stress, self-esteem, depression, communication, and relationships

Are you struggling to feel happy, fulfilled, authentic and/or connected? Do you feel caught in repeating cycles and patterns you would like to move on from? I hear you and I get it. As a therapist, my passion is for supporting you as you engage your own strengths in the process of change and transformation. I work with a variety of issues, including life purpose, transitions, depression, anxiety, relationships, parenting, midlife unravelings, trauma, stress management, grief and loss, high sensitivity and spirituality, among others. I work with individuals and couples, offering a mindfulness-based approach to therapy.

I offer somatic psychotherapy (touch and tablework) for people who are working on trauma, relationship and attachment issues. This work may also bring up family of origin issues that may also be unresolved. I combine somatic, IFS, and attachment modalities. My somatic training also provides expertise in helping those with chronic illness or pain and how this is related to mental health. Somatic work also is for those with after-effects of surgeries or accidents.

I want to help each of my clients find a sense of health - emotionally, physically, and sexually. Let's work together to sort through the things causing disruption in your everyday life including intimate relationships, sexuality, or general life transitions (starting or ending a relationship, coming out, exploring non-traditional relationships, etc.) I am committed to helping you move through anxiety, depression, family of origin issues, and shame in order to help you increase connections with yourself and your community.

Relationships are vital to our existence, but sometimes we struggle to connect with ourselves and others in a way that supports our values and sustains the relationships that bring love, success, and connection into our lives. Whether you are struggling to connect with a romantic partner, or you've become so debilitated by anxious, self-defeating thoughts that social interaction feels impossible, I believe you have the power within you to change the way you connect to yourself and others. If sexual, emotional, or other barriers are stopping you from living the life you want, let me help you harness your inner strength.

I am so happy you are here! I am thankful for the opportunity to learn, grow, and guide you in the ways necessary to help you (and your family) become your most successful & authentic self. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I love supporting couples and families through life phase challenges such as moving in/out, premarital changes, gaining new family, separation, co-parenting, grief and loss, and trauma.

We work with clients to understand and improve these parts of themselves. We also strive to instill a sense of hope, as we think this an important part of the process.

From our very first contact, I think you will find that I'm easy to talk to. I pride myself on being a good listener, and I believe you will experience me as warm, genuine, and supportive.
