Even the best mountain climbers need help to get to the top sometimes. The mountains of life look different for everyone--grief, trauma, anxiety, feeling lost--but one thing remains the same: they feel impossible. Imagine the bitter climb to the peak, full of scrapes and bruises, feeling like the steep twisting trail will never end. Picture yourself standing at the summit, filling your lungs with the sweet air of victory. See the treacherous trail behind you, and think to yourself “I did it!” No matter your mountain, you can feel that fresh breath filling your soul. You are a conqueror, and I’m honored to climb with you.

Hello! (: My practice is geared towards a holistic view of who you are. Our thoughts, feelings, actions and past events all come into play in our current lives. Sometimes they are difficult to handle alone. Are you ready to start the work and truly heal yourself? I hope so! I use a mixture of movement, inner child work, memory retrieval, journaling, meditation, and other techniques to truly understand and heal the individual Self. I also have extensive experience working with children, families, couples and difficult behaviors in youth. I work to support what is needed in the family or individually.

I believe that people do the best with what they have. Trauma, stress, anxiety and adverse life experiences can, at times, derail us from being our “best”. My role as a therapist is to help you reach your pinnacle. I always work from a strengths-based and client-centered focus. The client is the expert of their own life, but I serve as an agent for change to assist in developing, applying and supporting the therapeutic growth. I have experience with children, teenagers, young adults (up to age 35), couples and families.

Feeling authentically connected within our community and family is at the core of the human experience. For this reason feeling disconnected from those around you can be intensely painful. As your therapist, I can help you build tools to reconnect with those who mean the most to you. I am particularly experienced in working with people who are queer, have ASD or ADHD, and couples in conflict. Whether you are seeking safety and belonging as a queer person, wanting to establish sexual connection with partners, or forging new patterns of connection with friends and family, I will walk with you on your journey towards a life of meaning.

Pornography, sexting, and sexual behavior problems are real, pervasive among both adults and teenagers, and, the destruction can be terrifying for you or your loved ones to confront. You are not alone, people recover. My clients begin to find meaning in themselves and start to meet their goals for long term success in all facets of their lives! Together, through authentic connection, challenging negative and old thought processes, and exploring your purposeful strengths, the heaviness of your situation will lighten. People find power and strength in their best selves! My approach is nonjudgmental, specialized, and compassionate.

*I CURRENTLY HAVE A WAITLIST FOR NEW CLIENTS; I AM HAPPY TO PROVIDE REFERRALS TO THERAPIST WITH MORE IMMEDIATE OPENINGS* Are you coping with trauma? Was your birth traumatic but you don't want to complain because "it could have been worse?" Have you gone through a rape or abuse and while everyone means well, they just don't get it? Is your mood all over the place and you are tired of feeling this way? Trauma can leave you feeling alone, unsure and frightened; it might be hard on your relationships or you might be avoiding things because of intrusive thoughts or emotions that come up.
