I work with people that are struggling with problems like anxiety, depression, trauma or substance use issues and want to make positive, lasting changes to themselves and their lives. Change can be really hard, and sustaining a change can be even more difficult - and to make it even more challenging, a person may not fully understand why they are struggling to begin with or why they can't just handle it themselves. This is where therapy can be very helpful. I can offer a trained and experienced perspective, as well as tools and skills to open up new and healthier ways of living, thinking and feeling.

I am a master's level clinician who offers professional treatment of the family system. Within my private practice, sessions focus on individuals, adolescents, families, parenting, behavioral issues, addiction, & any issues causing strained relationships which negatively affect the home environment. I use a unique mixture of humor, directness, relatability, & acceptance to provide a safe environment with my clients. In a non-judgmental space, one’s inherent strength & mindfulness can submerge. Using a strengths-based approach, I help clients find tangible ways to obtain their individual versions of positive change.

You feel stuck. You're in your head processing everything, all-day, every-day, from your relationships to your work-life. You’re always overthinking, over-analyzing… each conversation and replaying every interaction in your mind. A never-ending loop of anxious thoughts spins through your mind. These thoughts distract you from living your life. You try to do self-care, but you can’t seem to get any relief. Instead, you feel overwhelmed with fear, guilt, and confusion. Self-doubt consumes you. It’s exhausting endlessly second-guessing yourself. Your fear and insecurities overpower you and they’re taking over your life. You feel lost.

Reaching out for help can be a difficult thing to do, and I am honored to partner with you in this decision to move toward a place of greater healing and fulfillment. In therapy, I seek to help my clients identify the inherent strengths they possess as well as the barriers that may be getting in their way. As a therapist, I am led by my belief in the innate goodness and worthiness of each person and approach the challenges that may be bringing you to therapy from a place of warmth, curiosity, and compassion.

People come to psychotherapy because they want to feel better. A big part of a therapist’s ability to help a person feel better lies in their taking a compassionate and loving stance toward that person. As a transpersonal, mindfulness-based and person-centered therapist, I strive to create a safe space to explore your inner world. I work with you on strengthening a mind-body connection to support a whole-person healing journey. By aligning to clients’ innate wisdom I assist clients in feeling heard, empowered and supported to work through their relational patterns, wounds and trauma.

Looking for better Communication and Connection in your relationships? You want to get along better with your spouse, partner, kids, parents and coworkers. I can give you the skills necessary to start you on the path to better communication and connection with everyone in your life. Lowering your anxiety and feeling better starts with you. Come in on your own or with those close to you.

I work with individuals struggling with the effects of unresolved trauma, which can look like experiences of anxiety, depression, and panic attacks, as well as challenges in relationships and sex life. My counseling incorporates a mind/ body approach that is based on an understanding of the neurobiology of trauma and that is highly attuned to cultural and societal context so as to promote more possibilities for healing. My aspiration is to support my clients to feel keenly aware of their sense of empowerment, agency, and wholeness in the present moment rather than feeling defenseless against overwhelming emotions and bodily states.

The cycles of overwhelm, internalized aggression, and self-abandonment are not solitary experiences - they happen as complex responses to trauma, stress, depression, grief, and disconnect. Whether you are struggling with addiction, life transitions, or any challenging pattern, the impulse to escape the present moment can influence a painful cycle of suffering. In the process of reclaiming the self, we cannot approach healing on a solely cognitive level. Every aspect of the collective self holds the wounds and wisdom that, if honored in mutual regard, can guide an individual towards profound growth.

I believe that each of us possesses our own capacity to heal. And when we deepen our connection and understanding of ourselves and the world around us, we are better able to access the parts of us from which we draw strength, peace, and joy. Together we will explore the sources of difficult emotions and long held beliefs that have interfered with your ability to walk your unique life’s path to self-actualization, fulfillment, and purpose.
