The state of the world has many of us feeling dysregulated, anxious and depressed. I offer a warm, nurturing space for my clients to process their experiences and emotions, without judgement, with unconditional regard and care. We all carry deep wisdom and knowledge on what we need to thrive. My work with clients aims at assisting them to uncover their deep truths in order to enjoy a more fulfilled existence. I offer sessions via zoom or phone, some clients prefer to limit screen time and find a walking session or just relaxing off camera is a more effective, enjoyable way to engage in therapy. -Currently accepting new clients

I have spent the last 15 years working collaboratively with clients in their process of healing. The experience of trauma and life events are highly individual so my approach to treatment is reflective of that. Curiosity, creativity and non judgement are essential to safely weed through the confusion and chaos that distort our perceptions of ourselves, clearing a path to much needed peace. I will meet you authentically, where you are on the road to reconnecting to strength, clarity and self knowledge. If this resonates, please feel free to reach out so that I may answer any questions.

Sometimes, it is easy to feel like your mind is working against you. But the truth is, you don’t live your life in separate boxes. Everything is deeply connected. I practice a unique approach called Operational Systems Counseling. In fact, I coined the term! This means I don't just look at your thoughts—I map your entire ecosystem. Together, we look at how the physical systems inside your body (sleep, metabolic health, and daily energy crashes) are locking gears with the stressors outside your body and what that means. You will regain effective control of your life.

When you’ve spent your life showing up for everyone else, holding it together, succeeding on the outside, but quietly unraveling inside, it can be hard to imagine a life where you get to be the one held, heard, & understood. Maybe you're navigating the fallout of a painful relationship, carrying old stories that keep replaying, or silently managing anxiety, burnout, or grief. You’ve likely tried to talk yourself into feeling better, only to realize healing doesn’t happen in your head, it happens in your nervous system, your relationships, & your sacred story.

Divorce Therapists
How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?
Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.

What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?
There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioral, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.

When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?
When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.

How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
