Do you feel like you're constantly on edge, battling racing thoughts or a heaviness that won’t lift?

Living with overwhelming thoughts or emotional pain can feel like you’re barely keeping your head above water, even when you’re doing everything you can to hold it all together. You deserve space to heal — and to feel whole again.

I believe therapy is workshopping the relationship between one's physiological experience, intellectual or spiritual experience, and environment. My specialties include working with youth, adolescents, people with developmental disabilities in supported living, and those facing chronic severe mental health issues and homelessness, as well as mild to moderate anxiety and depression. There is no manual for how these experiences interact, and it is crucial to have a safe, competent space to explore where these relationships cause friction.

You fall into familiar patterns even when you know they aren't working. Certain emotions hit harder than expected, leaving you overwhelmed or frustrated with yourself for reacting the way you do.
