Are you left overwhelmed, hopeless and exhausted? Will it ever get better? Yes, it can. Living with past trauma, grief or loss is not easy when we feel alone and stuck. When it feels that your story is already written in stone. This is not the case! Together we can recreate new ways, explore new perspectives, and rewrite your story. I have the training and knowledge to help you move past these feelings. My sessions are empathetic, curious and non judgmental. I offer you the support and space for conversations that will lead to healing. Together we can overcome and restore vitality to your life!

I love working with individuals who are eager to find a deeper connection to self and others. Many people who decide to start therapy feel ambivalent about the process, and may feel uncertain about change in general. That is okay. They may not be ready for change and may be coming to therapy in order to first find that motivation for change. They may be highly emotionally sensitive, but have never felt understood in their sensitivity. They want to feel heard, seen, understood because these are some of our innate human needs.

Do you and your partner have communication issues? Do you and your partner have constant misunderstandings and arguments? Do you struggle with conflict resolution after a fight? Has infidelity occurred in your relationship, and now you have no idea how to navigate the complex emotions or rebuild trust? Have a significant life change such as marriage, parenthood, moving, or career challenges caused stress in your relationship? I can help; as a dedicated Marriage and Family Therapist Candidate, I am passionate about helping couples navigate the complexities of their relationship and find the path to deeper connection.

Life sometimes leaves us with deep wounds which, left unresolved, can later appear in the form of depression, relationship struggles, anxiety, and anger. Putting on a mask for the outside world when you are falling apart inside is exhausting. With a non-judgmental lens, I see you as a person; not your past, not your actions, not your diagnoses. Are you ready to finally shed the mask and live your best life?

Everyone can benefit from a healing relationship with a counselor who is safe and trained to facilitate space to verbally process all aspects of life, including counselors themselves. In my experience working with a wide variety of clients, I have observed that people who desire change can achieve their goals in an environment where they can speak vulnerably about their experiences and have the structure to organize and challenge the automatic thoughts that have shaped their lives up till that point. Living by one’s core values is essential to thriving, so it is essential to identify them and evaluate how we abide by them.

Many people find themselves stuck in patterns they're unsure how to shake but they know it no longer serves them in a helpful - or healthful - way. These patterns can look like people pleasing, insecurity/imposter syndrome, indecisiveness, guardedness/lack of trust, micromanaging, being “uptight”, argumentative, etc. None of these feel good - and they're a drain on our energy! Our bodies use emotions and physical sensations to communicate to us, yet so few of us were taught how to tune in to listen to our inner world. Instead, we get easily overwhelmed by it - or try to avoid it entirely! Together, let’s strive to integrate.

Life can be challenging, especially now. Starting the process to look for a therapist can be daunting. So congratulate yourself on taking this step.

For this reason I offer a free phone consultation, to ensure we are a good fit and which modality of therapy will work for you. Currently I offer in person, walk and talk, and Telehealth sessions.

Being overwhelmed, feeling unlovable, and disengaged - can seem like the new normal.

Life feels reduced to exhaustion and stress.
