Everyone is capable of deep healing, growth, and connection.

I value openness, acceptance, and laughter, and I strongly believe that we are all in a lifelong process of growth and change.

When we are overwhelmed and struggling it’s easy to feel like life is going in the wrong direction, or worse, that who we are is wrong. What it usually means, however, is that we are human, and that our needs for connection are being unmet—connection with ourselves, with others, with a sense of belonging, with meaning and purpose. And if our attempts at getting rid of and coping with our suffering go unexamined, it often makes things worse—we remain in the shadows, in unwanted but all too familiar situations. But our pain does not need to determine our lives. There is a way through, and I can help.

Brene Brown says: "If we really want to live a joyful, connected, and meaningful life, we must talk about things that get in the way.” -- There are times in our lives where we feel disconnected with ourselves, others, and the world around us, and instead of living with compassion, clarity, and stillness, we are stuck feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, hopeless, angry. It's so hard to do that alone, I am here to support you. I am passionate about helping you navigate this journey of self-discovery towards growth and healing.

Efforts to live up to societal demands have left you feeling overwhelmed, depressed, and burned out. You don’t know who you are because you have spent so much of your life just trying to get by. Despite having strong values, you have internalized societal standards and become your biggest critic. Sometimes you feel so different from people around you, you wonder if you will ever fit in or feel understood. Past pain and traumas continue to influence daily life, keeping you stuck in old patterns, fears, and wounds.

Is your relationship with yourself or others suffering? Are you feeling unheard, unseen, that you don’t belong, or something’s wrong, but you don’t know what it is? Do you feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or a lack of meaning and purpose? Are you carrying traumatic wounds, fears, or shame leaving you paralyzed in your journey toward wholeness and fulfillment? I know how painful that is! Please know it’s natural to get stuck in anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem or relationship breakdown AND it’s possible to break through.

You're noticing repeating, limiting patterns in yourself and in your relationships but feel helpless to change them. Sometimes all of the world's noise, demands and judgments, both inside and out, make it hard to feel grounded and hear your own inner wisdom. You'll learn to recognize old self-limiting beliefs and reactive emotions and transcend them. Together we will release wounds that keep you repeating old patterns and free you up to move forward towards what is truly fulfilling for you.

Do you feel like you’ve tried everything and you’re still struggling to find fulfillment? Do you struggle with negative thoughts or beliefs, anxiety, depression, childhood emotional neglect (CEN) or difficult relationships with others? Oftentimes, we feel stuck–like the things we’re trying just aren’t working. We feel like we're doing something wrong or like WE are wrong. Therapy can shake things up in a good way – give us a fresh perspective, help us to get unstuck, and to feel more human again. It can also help us to make meaningful changes in our lives while being supported by a compassionate confidante who gets it.

Overwhelming and painful experiences are a part of life. However, they don’t have to define who you are. I believe that healing is not the absence of hurt, but rather having the audacity to imagine a life unfettered by pain and fear. My practice is rooted in a non-pathologizing, strengths-based, and collaborative approach. I balance both the intellectual and emotional — together, we will examine what beliefs, experiences and assumptions may inhibit your ability to shed unhelpful behaviors.

Welcome! I appreciate you stopping at my page. Stress, depression, anxiety and grief can rob us of the energy to enjoy life and stay connected with the people around us. I became a therapist in the hopes of helping people find peace, happiness and wellbeing. I strive to create a safe, supportive environment wherein you can share your story and we can work together to find meaningful and lasting change.
