I specialize in helping those that frequently feel like the odd one out, are struggling to find where they fit in the world, feel lost or without purpose, are often told they are "too sensitive", often feel overwhelmed by people, and/or feel the pressure of living their "best life" when they’re just trying to keep their head above water.

When navigating life itself feels daunting, I recognize that embarking on the counseling journey can feel equally so. When you feel lost, stuck, anxious, alone, or exhausted – and you’re just trying to figure out how you can make it through – it takes a tremendous amount of courage to reach out for help. Knowing this, I want to honor your efforts and provide you with a supportive environment to pursue both resolution and healing.

“How did I end up here?” Maybe you’re starting over — a new town, the end of a relationship, or a desire for something more from life. Maybe you feel too burned out to take another step forward. Or maybe you feel like life is heading in reverse. Having lived in multiple cities across the U.S. and Europe, I know how overwhelming it is to navigate major, sudden, or unforeseen life transitions. These changes can make you feel lost or lonely. You may question your belief system, your choices, or your very self.

Life presents a journey for us all to take. Whether it allows for hills or valleys, we have to decide how each defines our life. Therapy becomes our first step in taking back control and leaning into the joy that comes with healing. Wherever you are on your journey, I would be honored to walk alongside you and conquer what’s to come. You’ve made the difficult decision to no longer allow shame to prevent you from embracing vulnerability. Healing can be difficult, but if given the opportunity, I will hold space for who you are. Not who you have become due to the challenges you’ve faced but who you are at your core.

Merriam Webster's definition of attune: to bring into harmony; to make aware or responsive. Feeling "out of tune"? Overwhelmed? Struggling to identify all of your feelings? Anxiety will often show up when we are trying something new (or even just thinking about trying something new, like therapy :) Maybe you're feeling uncertain, paralyzed by fear of change. Past traumas or grief impacting your present life? Longing for loving relationships and community? I believe that deep healing occurs through attunement and connection, not in isolation. I would be honored to support you in healing and finding harmony.
