I believe that healing happens in relationship and growth begins with simple curiosity. We grow in the direction that we inquire about, and I strive to create a space where you feel safe to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Whether you're healing from trauma, managing anxiety or depression, navigating the complexities of ADHD, or transitioning into a new chapter of life, or simply seeking deeper connection in your relationships, the journey starts with fostering radical acceptance of where we are. Together, we will identify constraints and build on your strengths to allow your unique vitality and purpose to unfold.

We understand you're stuck and you've tried everything. We listen carefully, think collaboratively, and work with you to make sense of what’s not working and how to change it.

You've been holding it together for a long time. Maybe too long. Something, or many things, have left you feeling disconnected, stuck, or not quite yourself anymore. I get it.
I specialize in trauma and work with people carrying more than they should have to: anxiety, identity questions, life transitions, the quiet exhaustion of looking fine on the outside. My approach is grounded, direct, and warm, and my calm presence is my superpower.

Clients have described me as collaborative and compassionate within my strength-based multicultural approach to therapy. Difficult life circumstances, including grief, depression and harsh self-criticism can lead to rejecting parts of yourself and we can work on reclaiming your identity. I strive to create a sense of “we-ness” to make you feel “heard and seen” for who you are. I use humanistic principles and a wide range of evidenced-based practices. My goals are to tailor treatment to your specific needs, hold equitable space for you, step into difficult paths with you, and emerge stronger and more empowered.

Life is a challenge...even if you don't have any major problems. When you experience one or more additional stressors, such as relationship issues with a child/partner, challenges with blending families, job, financial, health, mood, legal, or ex-partner issues, you might find yourself struggling to keep your sanity at times or realize that you are not living up to your potential. If you wish to feel more full-filled emotionally, physically, mentally, professionally, spiritually and/or in your relationships, I can help you explore which changes could be helpful to reach that goal or what is causing you to stay stuck and in pain.

Are you feeling stuck in life? Maybe you’re struggling with relationship challenges, past traumas or work stress? Is shame, anxiety, anger or numbness affecting your ability to be happy? Maybe you’re wondering how your substance use, or that of a loved one, is related to any of this? I’d like to offer a non-judgmental space to explore behaviors, beliefs and feelings that keep you from living the life you want to live. You are not broken and I would be honored to help you reconnect to the innate wisdom and power of your authentic self. My style is real, warm and respectful of your choices, whatever they may be.

Sometimes the hardest thing in life is to forgive yourself, or forgive others for what has happened. It can really keep you stuck in the same cycle, over and over, depressed, and anxious. It is like Kryptonite; it keeps you from living the life you want to live, and from discovering the superpowers you have inside of you. What would happen if you could use those superpowers? What would happen if you were to feel your enthusiasm again? Where would you go, what would you do, what new skills would you like to learn? Where is your Kryptonite hidden.

When you, or your family are ready for change (or wish you were ready for change), I would like to provide psychotherapy assistance to you with compassion and motivation. Many clients seek me out due to my background with EMDR, trauma resolution, PTSD, couples counseling, personal growth, life transitions, 12 Step Recovery, anxiety, depression, parenting and relationship challenges. Trauma resolution is my greatest interest, and I am still amazed at how fragile/yet strong each of us are. I emphasize a whole person approach which includes: recommending support groups, spiritual growth, coping & restructuring feelings and thoughts.

Relationships can feel overwhelming when the same patterns keep repeating. You may find yourselves stuck in conflict, distance, or feeling misunderstood by the person you care about most. I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where both partners can feel safe to show up as they are. Together, we slow things down, understand what’s driving these patterns, and create new ways of connecting so you can feel more supported, understood, closer, and like you’re finally speaking the same language.
