Many people begin seeing a therapist when they are feeling "stuck in a rut", overwhelmed with stress, have lost meaning in their lives, or are feeling disconnected from themselves or others.

I understand that finding a therapist who you can trust and feel comfortable with is important.

Making the decision to seek counseling is the first and most difficult step in this process. I offer a warm and relaxed environment to my clients- a place they can feel safe and protected.

Reaching out to a therapist is hard. So first, take a moment to commend yourself for prioritizing your wellbeing - it is difficult, even for me as a therapist! I believe that we all have a desire for genuine relational connection. However, our past experiences (eg. oppression, trauma, relational disconnections) inform our strategies of survival (eg. perfectionism, addiction, avoidance), which paradoxically leave us feeling dysregulated, isolated, or stuck in painful relationships. I see therapy as a space where you and I can co-create an open & authentic relationship, which will help us explore and heal your current life stressors.

I believe that a collaborative approach between therapist and client is most effective. My intention is to empower my clients to put the pieces together to help solve the mysteries of their inner world.

I also believe in equipping my clients with coping skills to practice between sessions.

Do you ever feel like your emotions are imbalanced, and you can't put your finger on why or how to manage them? Sometimes, when our feelings are unpredictable, it can lead to added stress, panic attacks, and personal reactions that may catch us off guard. Trauma, anxiety, and significant life changes, like a move or new job, can affect the way we respond in sensitive circumstances. You may want to discover the why, or you may just want to figure out a solution to regulate the turbulence and navigate the uncertainty.

I help people who want more from their relationships, deeper companionship with friends, or more intimacy with a partner. Sometimes that means getting un-stuck from patterns of behavior that no longer serve but seem to persist. Other times it may involve setting and maintaining boundaries–whether with work, with a substance or activity, or with other people–more effectively. If you feel plagued by self-doubt and anxiety, you're not alone and there is hope! Staying connected while growing into yourself more fully is do-able work!

The world is becoming more complex as we are expected to do more with less time and energy. What if you were already coping with difficulties from a not so distant past? With my own history of self worth/doubt, health issues and being told "I don't belong here", I can vividly remember the frustration and loneliness of trying to "live your life" while feeling excluded. I draw from this to empathize and build a mutual understanding of "now" and create a path to a more authentic version of "you." We often look to the past to find origins of problems, but its equally important to dig through our history to find gems of resilience.

Finding the right therapist can be a challenge. I understand that it is a privilege to be a part of a client’s journey to heal and manage life stressors. I want my clients to feel heard and validated as we work together to navigate through challenges.
