If you are thinking about coming to therapy, chances are there is something going on that is prompting you to do so. Perhaps it is a stressful job or relationship; or you may be struggling with anxiety or depression. And, what may seem to be the "problem" on the surface could actually be related to something on a deeper level. As your therapist, I will work with you to try and understand what this deeper level is all about--all the thoughts, feelings and memories and the relationship they have to your current problem or situation.

Are you struggling to engage in meaningful relationships? Do you find yourself overthinking comments and situations? If you ever feel you are on a hamster wheel trying to effectively communicate your true wants and needs with those you are closest to, you are not alone. What would life look like if you could express yourself fully and not get stuck trying to please everyone but yourself? How would your experience be different if you didn’t feel like you had to hide your true self? Areas close to my heart are infertility, maternal mental health, complex trauma and grief, spiritual abuse, racial trauma, and special-needs parenting.

Waitlist for new clients
Finding a therapist who "gets it" can be a challenge. I understand how hard it is to take that first step, especially if you're on the introverted side. I know because I am an introvert so believe me, I get it. Seeking help for chronic depression, anxiety, self-harm, eating disorders, and mood disorders related to auto-immune disease requires someone who understands AND someone who has advanced training and experience...someone you can trust and who will be with you on your healing journey.

Areas of focus (Individuals & Couples): relationship issues/skills-building, career issues, depression, anxiety, self esteem, eating disorders, women's issues, sexual orientation issues, LGBT issues, life transitions, divorce / break ups, postpartum mood disorders and creativity issues.
You already possess the inner resources and capacity needed to heal. At certain times, however, we all need help gaining access to that nurturing capacity: a kind of 'Assisted Self Discovery.' When our minds, bodies, & emotions are all supported together in a safe process of present-oriented exploration, the potential for change is remarkable. I utilize an eclectic approach. Each session is tailored to your unique needs & personal goals. Long-lasting symptom relief/decreased suffering & achieving a more fulfilling life are priorities that guide my work with clients.

Therapy is your autonomous space - to explore things from a non-pathologizing lens, take a breath, and align with your innate values. I am passionate about creating a supportive alliance where clients can understand barriers to their stated goals, negotiate self-defeating patterns, enhance their relationships, embrace their true self, and develop an inner anchor of trust. Balancing the "macro" with effectiveness in the "micro" is a must.

My goal is to help clients find healthy ways to understand the root cause of their internal conflicts which disconnect them from themselves and the world around them. I support clients with the development of deeper awareness in understanding how their anxiety manifests within their bodies as well as how our unresolved feelings will remain within us until we are ready to meet them. It takes courage to look internally, and I believe you are beyond courageous to do so.

Feeling alone in your grief, stress, or sadness is an overwhelming place to be. For many of us, facing a major loss or life transition without support can lead to feeling stuck or even hopeless. These emotions are normal if you live with a chronic illness or are the caregiver for someone with a chronic illness. It is natural to desire balance and moments of relief in your daily life, but you may find those difficult to create given the relentless task of managing the chronic medical condition.

I want to offer you a pause in the storm. Room for you to unburden, rest, and discover or return to your true self.
