I can remember lying in bed, looking up at the ceiling, worried about the everything. It didn’t matter what was going on in my life - I was constantly worried. Anxiety had a grip on my life, slowly tightening more and more every day. When my friends would call, I could hear the disappointment in their voice as I made up another lame excuse about why I couldn’t go out time and time again. I could feel myself slipping further and further away from the things that truly mattered to me - friends, family, and fun. I watched everyone else happily living their lives but I was stuck on the sidelines of my own. Why couldn’t I be more like them? Happy… Carefree… Unafraid… Relaxed… Why was I trapped in a vicious cycle of anxiety, worry, doubt, and fear? I knew it was taking my life from me and finally, I got to the point where I said - NO MORE. I worked 1-1 with my own therapist. Ultimately, I got my life back. No more fear… No more saying “no” when I wanted to say “yes”... No more watching my life slip by without me really living it…

We don't have to live a life controlled by our emotional pain, instead we can learn to be in the driver's seat of our own experiences. Learning to be present in our own lives is a lot of what therapy is. Through this we learn about our patterns and feel empowered to do something different. Starting the path of finding a therapist can be so intimidating and vulnerable (trust me I've been there!) It is an act of courage, and making the choice to take control of your story, to be the author instead of the character. I'm so glad you took this step and are here!

People come into therapy for many reasons such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, parenting-child relationship issues, and trauma. But one reason remains the same: the desire for change. I acknowledge that change can be sometimes scary and difficult to confront. I'm here to help you through this process. My goal is to provide a safe and warm environment for us to work as a team to address what's going on in your life. I believe everyone deserves a space and opportunity to be heard and understood.

I'm here to walk with you or your child through moments of self-doubt, sadness, anxiety or shame. Whether stress arises from home, school or work life, the resulting effects can be long lasting and detrimental to our overall health and wellness. If you are seeking a safe place for emotional vulnerability and healing of your mind and body, therapy is a resource that helps you tap into your existing strengths and identify areas with room for improvement.

Does your middle school or high school aged child need some additional support? Are they struggling in school or with maintaining friendships?

If you are dealing with trauma, life transitions, anxiety, or depression, I am here to help you. I've served with children, teens, and families for several years and walked with adults and couples through their healing process. You can expect an empathetic therapist that desires to help you through your therapeutic journey. I can help by providing a safe place for you to share your thoughts and feelings.

Some people struggle with preconceived ideas about what therapy is. I see therapy as a good place to take difficult life experiences, transitions and "stuff" we struggle with. If you are stuck in your life, suffering and experiencing a significant loss, if a relationship is troubling, if your anxiety is getting the best of you, if your depression has got you paralyzed ...then seeking relief with therapy is a good way of taking care of yourself. I also specialize in Psychedelic integration work helping people integrate what comes up into their daily lives.

I am committed to, and very passionate about, working with people to help them find deeper meaning and fulfillment in their lives. I feel therapy is a place where you can feel safe to openly express yourself, as you work side-by-side with someone who will assist you in building self-awareness, promote change, and ultimately improve the relationships and your life.
