I counsel those battling depression, anxiety, self-esteem and image issues, post-traumatic stress, grief, women’s issues, and multicultural challenges. Life can throw you for a loop, can't it?! Can you remember a time in your life when you were truly content and happy? It was like everything was aligning in your world then life.

The longest and most important relationship we will ever have is with ourselves. We spend so much time focusing on external things that we struggle to stop long enough to check in with our internal world. Our fast-paced world often pulls our attention in many directions simultaneously, and we are constantly multitasking. When we fail to do things perfectly, we struggle with shame, judgment, blame, self-criticism, and heightened anxiety. This often drives us towards burnout and fatigue. How do we slow down? How do we improve our relationships? How do we better use our time? How do we increase our self-compassion?

I believe that successful therapy work begins with a good relationship between therapist and client, and therefore seek to ensure a common ground to build upon. Early in my career I discovered that often presenting issues have roots from our childhood experiences and relationships. I have dedicated much of my training since to becoming proficient in working with trauma and dissociative symptoms. The good news is that we can process these experiences, and grow to create a greater quality of life!

Adolescence to early adulthood can be a really difficult time to navigate. It’s where we begin the path of self-discovery, establish our personal identities, form relationships, and look to the future. While these can all be very exciting things, they are often also quite challenging and accompanied by stress, conflict, strained relationships, and a whole lot of change. Through a person-centered and collaborative approach, I strive to help individuals strengthen their core beliefs, self-worth, and confidence within themselves.

Life can get overwhelming and it's easy to feel lost, anxious, and/or depressed, bogged down with busy schedules, work issues, childhood trauma, chronic pain, relationship/intimacy conflicts, complicated parent and/or child relationships, questioning one's identity or coming into one's sexuality - and well, it can feel like too much! These compounding stressors impact our ability to connect with ourselves and with others, as well as our ability to lead satisfying and full lives. My hope is that together, you can (re)discover your path to a fulfilled and integrated life by embodying your emotional, spiritual, and creative self.

Children frequently experience anxiety just as adults do. All children can feel nervous, frightened or worried about different things or situations, so how does a parent know when to get some help for their child? Children's symptoms of anxiety can differ from adults and they may not have the words for what they are experiencing.

Life is tough! We all face challenges and experience struggle in our lives. Sometimes we need reminding that we have the capacity to overcome our challenges and manage our struggles.

I have experience working with pre-teens and adolescents in both inpatient and outpatient settings, and adults in outpatient settings. Part of my approach to the therapeutic process is to develop a trusting relationship with my clients. It is through the development of this relationship that growth and change happen as we work toward a common goal; to feel empowered to ignite a change for themselves. I work to help clients make sense of circumstances that have been confusing or upsetting, I also help them develop insight into how they relate to others, how they see themselves, and how their choices affect themselves and others.
