You might be feeling overwhelmed by your emotions, struggling to deal with intrusive thoughts and anxiety, or have unresolved past traumas that affect your ability to cope in the present. Maybe you feel like there is only a thin skin between you and the world, and distinguishing your needs from others’ desires while setting healthy boundaries in relationships can be challenging. Whatever your experience might be, I’m here with you to uncover more safety, ease and joy in areas that have felt blocked, so your authentic self can emerge.

You have worked hard your entire life to do everything right. In a lot of ways, you have succeeded. However, sometimes you can't stand yourself for having "issues." You worry that if others notice, they will see you as weak. So many successful, wonderful people have anxiety, fears, negative thoughts, self-doubt, depression, and feel like they are never enough. I want you to know that you do not have to feel like this forever.

My best feedback has often come from clients who are overwhelmed, at complicated points in their lives, who are anxious about their relationships or work or big decisions, and who come in ready to talk about it. Some days therapy looks like problem-solving; some days you just need someone to get what you’re talking about and why it’s important. You've likely read a lot of names of different approaches on here but one essential part of therapy is talking about difficult things with someone interested but objective until they make more sense.

Life is like riding a bicycle, to keep your balance you must keep moving. Feeling depressed, anxious, or simply not yourself, can be an overwhelming experience. You might be feeling unhappy, unmotivated or maybe just "stuck". You might be having ruminating thoughts that make it hard to see things clearly and move forward in life. I am here to help you reconnect to yourself, to your personal goals and values, all the things that make you a unique individual (you!). I'm here to support you, explore your thoughts and emotions, sort through the difficulties you are dealing with, and gain insight and tools to navigate your life.

“Start where you are” is a guiding principle in my work and in my life. My goal is to meet my clients in their present moment experience, incorporating compassion and gentleness into our sessions together. If most of your thoughts tend to be fearful, judgmental or worrisome, I can truly empathize. In our work together, we will move at a pace that feels respectful of where you are in your life and develop a path forward with the hope that you can decrease levels of anxiety, improve self-esteem and listen to your intuitive voice.

I specialize in guiding individuals dealing with issues including relationship challenges, setting healthy boundaries, managing anxiety, overcoming perfectionism, shedding people-pleasing tendencies, and adapting to major life changes, as well as adult ADHD. In short, many issues that I am personally, as well as professionally, very familiar with! If you're currently navigating any of these aspects of life, I am confident that we can work together to help you rediscover joy and contentment.

Insurance Not Accepted— I specialize in helping people navigate life’s twists and turns. You may be struggling with issues related to relationships, confidence, anxiety or major life changes. Or perhaps, there's an experience you are having difficulty moving past. Imagine feeling less burdened by life's circumstances, more resilient to challenges & having more gratifying relationships with your self and/or loved ones. Imagine feeling comfortable being authentically you, believing in your abilities & being witness to your own personal growth. Together, through a collaborative process, we can make this a reality.

Anxiety is making life feel impossible right now! You spend your nights awake thinking of every worst-case scenario or "what if" thought. Your to-do list keeps growing and you keep avoiding it when that anxious feeling shows up. As a professional woman, you envisioned a life of purpose, but anxiety has become a roadblock. It doesn’t have to be this way! It's time to rewrite your narrative. Regain control, navigate daily stress, and rediscover the life you want. I know what its like to live with anxiety and I want to help you learn to not let it hold you back any longer. Let's work together to change this NOW!

We are each incredible, wonderful, complex beings who are deserving of love for being exactly who we are, even if society tells us otherwise!

As a therapist, I use a holistic, person-centered, integrative, collaborative approach to help individuals face challenges, recognize their unique strengths, and meet their goals. I prioritize building a relationship with each client based on trust and safety. I honor and validate my clients’ lived experiences and encourage my clients to approach pain with curiosity and compassion, empowering them to find pathways to wellness as they define it.

There are times in life when you may find yourself panicking, full of rage or tearful, or fighting with your partner without understanding why. Big life events such as becoming a parent, beginning and ending relationships and experiencing loss are times that can bring about many different feelings. You might be wondering how you can get through anxiety or depression, or conflict with loved ones. Negative thoughts can make the past, present and future a scary place. It won't always feel like this.

I believe you will experience me as genuine, curious, and direct. Together, we will challenge old assumptions and create new ways of approaching problems, relationships, and life in general. The work we do in therapy is serious and it is hard; that said, it's tremendously rewarding, and in our work, we will likely find ourselves laughing a lot. Here, you will experience acceptance and connection that I believe will make the relationships in your life easier to navigate and more rewarding.

I am committed to providing personalized care that meets the individual needs of each client. I work with adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship issues, and other day-to-day challenges. It is my goal to help clients identify their strengths and develop practical coping skills to navigate life’s daily stressors and overcome the greater obstacles. My practice is focused on creating a safe, collaborative, and empowering environment that encourages clients to show up as their authentic selves.

We often face difficult challenges and personal setbacks in life, but “stress” doesn’t have to become “distress”. You may be balancing a number of stressors, like work and relationships, while trying your hardest to keep anxiety or depression from getting in the way of personal goals. Whatever brought you here today, trying to cope with all everything on your own might feel almost impossibly overwhelming and lonely at times. But you aren't alone: together we can figure out ways for you to balance these stressors and overcome setbacks.

I love working with children, adolescents and adults who may struggle with anxiety, depression, family issues, or any other day-to-day challenges. My ideal client's goals would be for them to become the best version of themselves and be ready to work in and outside of therapy; wanting happiness, health, and overall a better sense of belonging and direction for their life. I can help by walking alongside of you as your guide, helping you navigate life's greatest challenges through kindness, support, and self awareness.
