The symptoms that have us seek out professional help are often rooted in trauma—experiences in our lives that told us we were unlovable, not “good enough”, or “bad”; that change how we feel about ourselves and how we show up in the world. The challenges that so many of us face today, be it anxiety or chronic stress, depression, substance abuse, or relationship issues, can frequently be traced back to these experiences.

Are you searching for understanding? Are you wanting to better hold the complexities of your life? Often, truth and wisdom can seem out of reach. This can be due to a number of things that act as obstacles and obscurations to our full understanding of ourselves, others, and human relationships. This experience of being confused, perplexed, or lost is a natural and normal part of being human. This does not mean, however, that you are destined to remain in a state of suffering and confusion. Your brilliance, intelligence, wisdom, and way to wellbeing remain within you. I can help you reconnect to this innate wisdom.

Does this resonate with you? You're constantly battling feelings of inadequacy and dissatisfaction with your appearance. Insecurity and frustration have become your daily companions.

You know one thing for certain: you're ready for relief. You're eager to break free from the relentless barrage of critical thoughts. You're prepared to start feeling good enough, to find peace, and to embrace confidence and capability again. I'm here to help!

Are you struggling with feelings of sadness, fear, anger or emptiness? Are your relationships unsatisfying? Do you find yourself doing the same things over and over, even though you don’t like the results? Is it hard to know what you want, or how best to take care of yourself? Having a compassionate counselor can help you to see these difficulties as opportunities to learn more about yourself and the past that shaped you, and to build inner strength to rise to the present challenge.

If you feel overwhelmed by the state of the world, and find yourself thinking "A cloud of worry and criticism seems to follow me wherever I go. I have a decent job, most of my problems seem small compared to others, and yet that doesn't change the fact that most days I want to give up. My free time is a minefield of avoidance, distraction, and overwhelm. The things I really want to do with my life feel far away, and mustering the motivation to do something about it can feel impossible. I'm terrified that my whole life will be one long, crushing disappointment. Why does it have to be so hard?" I can help. We can do this together.

New Clients WELCOME (April 2024): Are you a highly sensitive person who is feeling overwhelmed & uncomfortable in your own skin? You’ve always felt a bit different from others. In order to fit in, you’ve learned to mask your true self — your deepest emotions & thoughts, your natural ways of speaking & moving. You’re so used to the mask, you’re not sure who the real you is. After being told many times that you’re “too sensitive,” you don't know how to trust yourself. There are painful experiences that you know you need to process. You’re ready to heal — truly heal — and live a more empowered life. I would like to support you.

As a therapist, I prioritize creating a nonjudgmental relationship that allows my clients to explore themselves and their lives as honestly and gently as possible. My clients have called me insightful, humorous and results oriented. Together we'll uncover the roots of your struggles and create new patterns of being in the world. I also offer other forms of support, such as courses, groups, online tools, and more.
