You’ve always been the strong one — the go-to, the caretaker, the one who gets things done. Maybe you’re a therapist, a doctor, a parent, or a high-performing professional. On the outside, it looks like you’re thriving. But inside? You feel overwhelmed, exhausted, stuck in old patterns that are starting to crack. I work with people who are ready to stop people-pleasing their way through life and start getting real with themselves — gently, compassionately, and with support. My clients often describe themselves as “too much” or “never enough.” Sound familiar? I’m here to help you change that narrative.

I believe relationships are the most important aspect of our lives. They shape our experiences, influence our emotions, and contribute significantly to our overall well-being. My passion lies in helping women heal and strengthen their relationships with both their selves and others. My practice focuses on creating a safe and compassionate space where clients can explore root causes of their struggles, connect to their intuition, and foster a deeper understanding of themselves and their connection with others. I believe that once we can understand the “why,” we are more empowered to create positive change in our lives.

I primarily work with young adults and adults facing challenges with ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, and chronic pain. I encourage a collaborative approach to therapy – I am simply a guide who has developed an expertise in supporting the goals of my clients or helping them develop goals which feel personally meaningful. Through identity exploration and development, values building, skills development and symptom reduction, my goal is to lend support to an individual's growing sense of competence, confidence, and empowerment.

We reach out for help when something in our life gets our attention. It could be distressing feelings and thoughts, paralyzing indecision, stress, relationship challenges, trauma, illness, just to name a few. We can feel vulnerable, lost, alone. Oftentimes, the original issue which first got our attention takes us on an unexpected journey. We are given the opportunity to deepen into our relationship with ourselves and the divine in ways that heal and change us beyond anything we imagined. This reverberates into every aspect of our life bringing happiness, renewed vitality, a sense of belonging and feeling engaged in life, contentment and peace.

I believe that all mental anguish begins with loneliness and disconnection. This is why my approach to psychotherapy is grounded fundamentally in the relationship that we build together. Together we will move through suffering, creatively identifying new possibilities and ways of experiencing life. We will find hope and build your capacity to love both yourself and others more fully. From within this relationship, you will be able to safely try new things, to see what works for you, to ultimately move forward in your life with more ease. I like the expression "human flourishing" to describe this process.

My work is influenced by the thought of existentialist philosophers and psychologists who speak compassionately to a profound and uniquely human dilemma—the quest for meaning in the face of suffering. Psychotherapy provides a safe and intimate space in which we might expand our capacity to bear suffering and to find meaning within and through it. Depth psychology proposes that the psyche consists of both conscious and unconscious thoughts, impulses, fantasies, and ideas. Symptoms (of depression, anxiety, addictions, etc.) are more than painful indicators of psychopathology.

If you’re someone coming to me of your own choosing and are at the point where “okay” isn't good enough anymore, this will contribute a lot to your success in therapy.

You may be looking for clarity of purpose, inspiration, and courage. Your need for feeling safe and having love and a sense of belonging in your life is often at the center of many issues, and our work is to forge a pathway to experience these things as you work toward fully healing.

Healing is an intimate journey towards ever greater wholeness (acceptance, compassion, and integration of all parts of ourselves). I value the sacred opportunity to join alongside you. Therapy is a unique endeavor; one in which you the client and me as therapist collaborate to create a space for the unburdening of life’s stressors, of pain, grief, sorrow, and confusion as well as space to seek answers to existential questions about what gives life meaning; being witness to your growth as you unfurl, soften, and ultimately discover deeper compassion for self and others.

A counseling relationship can be a deeply supportive and healing experience. The therapy becomes a space to safely explore the complexities of our most significant relationships; to more fully understand how our many life experiences influence our present day; and to better understand the reactions we have to the moments and people of our lives. All of this, I believe, manifests in our day-to-day experience of well-being.

Choosing to see someone for counseling is a courageous step. I believe we all can benefit and grow from having an objective person looking at our lives with us. I am honored to have this role in the lives of others.
