Welcome! I am so glad you made it here. There are many roadblocks to receiving support and I am here to help make the journey less scary. Reaching out for help is no little feat. Many people fear (for very good reason) that they will receive poor treatment and/or judgement by a therapist. You deserve a safe therapeutic relationship where you can show up as yourself without concern of being judged by your therapist. If we are a good fit and I become your therapist, I will offer you a safe, nurturing connection where you can feel safe to express yourself, process your pain, challenge and heal parts of yourself.

I’m a therapist who gets it (or tries my best to) —life is messy, and sometimes you need a little help sorting through it.

We often have to operate our bodies to navigate and perform in a world that does not reflect or sometimes support our inner realities/preferences. This can result in relational struggles, stress, anxiety, depression and more.

Never before have children, adolescents, and young adults in the education system been more challenged. High-stakes standardized testing and the one size fits all approach to education have caused some of the most resilient students to become stressed and/or fall behind. Students who have disabilities are often overlooked or given the incorrect interventions, causing them to fall further behind. I offer comprehensive evaluations that not only determine if a child qualifies for special education but also by finding each child's unique strengths and weaknesses we are able to match the interventions to the child's unique needs.

Therapy can be a difficult decision to make and it can get worse before it gets better. It is hard to examine with someone you don’t really know, private, deep and personal things about you, your relationships; your marriage and your family. You may be dealing with trauma that was completely out of your control, or trying to manage a choice you made that inflicted so much pain onto others and yourself, or trying to wrap your mind on who you are now, but want to be better, however you don't know how to get there. Whatever struggles you are facing in your life, I hope that you seek therapy, no one can do this alone.

We are never meant to face the challenges of life alone. When facing these overwhelming tidal waves of life, we often times feel sad, painful, and wanting to isolate ourselves. The way we think and our behavior changes and prevents us from becoming the most authentic version of self. I see therapy as a guided journey where the therapist and the client process the client's subjective experience together. And when it is experienced in a safe, compassionate, culturally sensitive, and encouraging environment, client experiences growth in self awareness and level of insight, which prompts genuine, long-lasting changes that are evident.
