I truly believe that therapy can be a transformative and rewarding process when facing the challenges of life. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment to encourage honest communication and trust between partners and family members. Curiosity, humor and understanding are often a part my work in therapy to help clients identify goals, create a plan, and work to make positive changes. As part of the therapy process, I utilize the most effective therapy approaches and techniques when addressing communication issues, infidelity, pre-marital preparation, intimacy, and family conflict.

Are you your own worst enemy? Does your inner voice say, "What's wrong with me" "Why did I do that" "I should(n't)..." "I'm not good enough" Together, we can find a different way to relate to yourself. I invite you to consider, when you learn to offer yourself love and compassion, you deepen intimacy, connection and respect within your relationships, increase confidence, achieve goals, and attract your dreams. Once we choose love for ourselves, everything changes! "Our wounds are often openings into the best and most beautiful part of us" ~ Richo

You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Whether you're navigating a major life transition, feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or depression, struggling in relationships, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can provide the support and direction you need to move forward. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, develop practical coping strategies, and create meaningful, lasting change. I frequently work with individuals experiencing anxiety and chronic worry, depression and low motivation, life transitions and major life changes, relationship concerns, and LGBTQIA+ concerns and identity exploration.

From an outside perspective, you’ve got it together. But inside, do you feel like a bumbling cartoon character trying to keep your 27 hats balanced on your head while juggling 14 balls… ? Are you going through a life transition and feeling bombarded with stress, anxiety, depression, maybe some imposter syndrome? Does your inner bully like to smack you sometimes, or your past self sabotaging behaviors run across the stage….again? Life transitions can be overwhelming and daunting - especially if you keep telling yourself you "SHOULD" be fine!

That saying, "What doesn't kill me makes me stronger" -- I think it should be "What doesn't kill me makes me suffer." So many people feel unheard, disconnected, tired, worthless, fearful, sad, anxious and forgettable. They need the skills to nurture their resilience, to discern their incredible value. There's a loneliness in struggling. But I'm here to help you heal yourself with a new, creative perspective and find resources you didn't know you possessed.

You may look successful on the outside, but internally you're exhausted by self-criticism, perfectionism, or the feeling that you're never quite good enough. Perhaps you've spent years trying to meet other people's expectations while hiding parts of yourself to gain acceptance, avoid conflict, or feel safe. Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, people-pleasing, and questions about identity and belonging. They often feel disconnected from who they truly are and trapped by the belief that their worth depends on achievement, approval, or fitting into someone else's idea of who they should be.

You are not here because everything has fallen apart. You are here because part of you knows something needs to change, and that part was brave enough to look. Whether you are carrying grief, trauma, patterns that keep repeating, or a life that looks okay from the outside but does not feel that way, this is a space for all of it. Together we slow down, get underneath what is happening, and build something that actually lasts. You will not be rushed, and you will not be judged. Showing up is the hardest part. You already did it.
