I can help you make changes in your life. I work with adults, couples, families and children to address stress, emotion and identity. I provide a nonjudgmental, safe and supportive space for you to explore stuck and challenging relationships, alter unproductive thoughts and behavior patterns and navigate transitions in your life. While therapy doesn't have all the answers, working together on some of these issues can help you to feel more empowered. I enjoy working with LGBTQ families, those who identify as polyamorous, and women of all shapes and sizes.

Therapy is about how you can feel better, how to make your life rich and satisfying. What is in your way? What stops you from being the person you want to be, from living the life you want to live? I see people of all ages, in all walks of life and help them overcome obstacles to acheiving their goals, whether that be happiness and peace or something concrete. Often it is inner blocks like anxiety and depression, that stand in your way. Other times there are experiences you've had that make it hard to feel free. Therapy can help you sort it all out, and take positive steps towards a new start.

Over the years, I have come to understand that many of our difficulties with work and/or relationships can be traced to some forms of disconnection internally and externally, sometime manifested as depression, anxiety, existential angst, eating disorder, or addiction. I view therapy as a continuous in-depth conversation with another person in order to mend past traumas, reconnect with self and others, and develop a new perspective on life. I will bring to this journey curiosity, compassion, knowledge, experiences, and a commitment to help you strive for a healthier and more balanced life.

When our lives are disrupted by change, trauma or high stress, and we feel forced out of our comfort zones, it can feel frightening, like we’ve lost control and our sense of purpose. For some, it may bring the feeling of disconnection to who we are at our core to who we’d like to become. We might even feel a loss of connection to our body and sense of community. The struggle and path to healing can feel like a lonely journey, and it also doesn’t have to be. My approach is to co-create a space with each individual that feels safe and welcoming to come as they are to discover new ways of living with more ease and reconnect to joy.

Most importantly, my ideal client is someone who is desiring and ready for change. You may feel stuck in some aspect of your life such as career or relationships. You may have suffered a traumatic event. You may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety and depression. And you have reached a point when you are ready to take action even if you don't quite know what that will look like yet. What I love most is accompanying someone on their journey inward, offering a safe space for you to be fully you.

You may have always leaned a little anxious, but now it seems like the feelings are intensifying. Maybe you are going through a huge life transition, like getting engaged, changing careers, or thinking about becoming a parent. Maybe you are a new mom and things are different than you thought they would be. Or maybe life has presented an unexpected change and you aren't sure if you can handle it. When there is so much uncertainty and so many things to consider, it can leave you feeling stressed out, overwhelmed, confused and alone. It makes sense that you would want to feel more grounded, more sure of yourself, and less afraid.

Additionally, I specialize and am not limited to, treating depression, anxiety and chemical dependency. Lastly, I also enjoy working with adolescents, couples and families. ** I host a podcast called "Look, Just Tell Me What To Do" which addresses issues related to mental health which is available here https://lookjusttellmewhattodo.podbean.com/ or on most podcast platforms.

Navigating our internal and external realities - work, family and relationships - can be challenging. At times, engaging with another person who listens carefully can help with exploration, acceptance and change. I work with people from a range of different backgrounds, including artists facing creative blocks, immigrants wishing to find greater freedom in the in-between spaces they inhabit, and people who have gone through adversity and seek relief from distress.
