We tend to build shields to protect from uncomfortable and distressing thoughts and emotions because we're not taught how to manage or experience them without the feeling of drowning. Avoidance of, numbing, or collapsing into emotional storms can keep us stuck in unhelpful cycles and disconnect us from a life of vitality. It can feel impossible to get out of these cycles when our thoughts try to convince us that we're broken, stuck, or not good enough, especially when we're trying to do it alone. Sharing our struggles with someone else can help us learn to look at (instead of from) them, and then be able to see how to get unstuck.

People often look into therapy because they feel stuck. Life may have been working before, but now you cannot move forward. Do you find yourself facing the same challenges over and over? Maybe you have a sadness that lingers. Or persistent worries have begun to narrow your life. Do you struggle to maintain satisfying relationships? Possibly you look good on the outside, while inwardly you find yourself suffering. It could be as vague as feeling empty or alone.

Listening and helping a client walk through a time in their life that may be difficult to do on their own is a calling that I have felt since I was a child. Being present, offering up support, and providing effective evidenced based resources with the professional training and experience I have gained has allowed me to align my passion with a purpose. Working with me will give each client the objective, unbiased aspect that often is difficult to find as well as an opportunity to build a rapport of professionalism and respect in a friendly setting. I work mostly with individuals ages 18+.

“Out beyond the ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I will meet you there” (Rumi). I believe that the field where we meet in therapy is an in between zone, nonjudgmental and freeing, a step away from day to day life, where we can, together, come to new understandings and realizations, which can bring ease and change into your life.

You are at a point in your life where you're feeling off, feeling bad. Something isn't quite right. You might be depressed, lonely, unhappy about your relationships, dissatisfied about a job, or generally nervous and stressed. You may have been suffering for quite a while or maybe these feelings are newer, perhaps due to a recent event. Whatever the reason, you are here now and seeking help. Reaching out is difficult to do and can be frightening. It may feel like a risk to place your trust in someone.

Therapy is a collaborative process between the therapist and the client.

My clients tend to gain new insights and deeper understanding of their issues and obtain new skills and changes by going through their healing process with me.
