I know it stretches you to take on difficult issues in your life, and you need to be met with compassion and acceptance. I offer the safety to process and work through painful experiences so that they don't become wounds that you constantly react to in other unrelated relationships onward. Together we work to understand you, your painful experiences, and how your brain makes sense of them. Because when you "graduate" from therapy I want you to enter your world of interactions effectively and fluidly.

You Are Not Alone. Often times we go through tough situations by ourselves because we feel no one will understand us or we are told to "get over it". So we suffer in silence. I am here to tell you that you do not have to be alone. With my support you can become the best and healthiest version of yourself in ALL aspects of your life. I help individuals, couples, and families with: the inability to deal with negative emotions and negative thinking, not feeling supported, loneliness, not being heard and feelings of uncertainty due to life tribulations.

Hey Global Nomads, Third Culture Kids, Military Families, Diplomat Families, and Culturally Complex peeps! I am passionate about helping you navigate the complexities around identity, belonging, connection, home, and the grief that comes with international or cross-cultural living. More than anything, I know that your story is unique. I also want you to know that you are not alone. I know first hand the complexities of all that is lost, and all that gained with each transition, and the combined loneliness and connection of being in between multiple worlds. I would love to sort through it with you.

My clients often ask me, "How can I change this" in reference to a particular problem he or she might be having. My approach to treatment is to work closely with you in exploring and understanding the impact of your past with mindful attention to present problem solving. Therapeutic work requires a safe and confidential place to share your pain and struggles. Within this safe space, clients are often able to move forward and discover reasons behind self-defeating behaviors, resolve old issues, and become more authentic in present relationships.
