"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." Ralph Waldo Emerson. Using a holistic approach in therapy we will explore the mind, body and spirit connection. We will learn balance and build resilience through the power of self-discovery, thus improving your quality of life. Negative thought patterns and beliefs will be identified and challenged through DBT, mindfulness, and EMDR. When needed we may create healthy eating habits and a healthy relationship with exercise. Cultivating your spirituality to relieve fear and nurture an attitude of gratitude and abundance is encouraged.

My ideal client is someone curious about who they are but unsure where to start. They may be exploring their queer identity, managing ADHD, anxiety, or depression, and seeking acceptance in spaces that haven’t always felt safe. They want to feel seen, gain self-understanding, and build balance in their life. Together, we’ll create a compassionate space for growth and authenticity.

You may feel stuck in painful relationship patterns, intense emotions, or cycles that continue despite insight. Perhaps you’ve done therapy before, understand where things come from, and still find yourself repeating the same dynamics. I offer a depth-oriented, experiential approach that moves beyond intellectual understanding and supports meaningful, lasting change.

What is it like to be you right now? This question starts our work together. The decision to begin therapy is often because something inside and/or outside of us has become too much— too heavy, overwhelming, chaotic, repetitive, isolating, frustrating, stressful, heartbreaking or angering. I offer attentive, honest and individualized therapy where we will explore the ways your emotional and internal experiences connect to your early life, the here and now, your relationship to self and others and your specific contexts.

Are you frustrated with your child’s behavior?
I offer parents many ideas for supporting their child and address parents’ feelings of overwhelm. I use a brain-based parenting model to help them learn what their child is trying to communicate. During playtime with children, I provide a space where children can be in charge of their play, and learn and grow without realizing it.

The work often begins in a moment of transition—burnout, grief, a shift in identity or relationship to self. Many who find this space are helpers, deep feelers, or those who’ve been carrying more than their share for a long time. There’s often a longing to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with what’s been quieted. Sessions hold space for meaning-making, nervous system repair, and relational healing. This isn’t about fixing—it’s about returning. To what’s true, what’s needed, and what’s been waiting.

Are You Feeling Stuck? Sometimes the strategies and coping mechanisms that once protected you from pain or hardship can become the very things that hold you back. Over time, they may interfere with your well-being, your relationships, and your ability to connect with your community. When we’re caught in cycles of stress or trauma, it’s common to develop narratives rooted in blame—of others or of ourselves. But healing begins when we start to understand the deeper biological, psychological, and social factors at play. By recognizing that help is necessary I am able to assist  you in moving towards solutions .

Do you feel lost on your path? Our life's journey is not always as clear as we would like it to be. Sometimes we have doubts about work, family life or relationships. You realize that life seems off balance and wonder how to fix things. As we hurry through life we can lose touch with our authentic Self and symptoms of depression/anxiety may appear. Valleys are a natural part of life but you do not need to suffer through these alone. As you reach out for help you will come to realize that it is during these times exactly, when we grow the most - I will be here for you, to listen and give you a safe space to figure things out.
