Our patterns paint the picture of our everyday experience. I believe in the importance of slowing down and observing these patterns with acceptance and curiosity (exploring mind, body, and spirit) in order to shift the way we interact with different aspects of our lives. As we slow down and re-evaluate our own truth, the models of the world we have subscribed to begin to shift as does our ability to be open to new and different possibilities.

Do you often feel anxious, disconnected, depressed, or burned out? Maybe you're struggling to function in daily life, and responding to triggers with helpful coping skills. I help highly sensitive, creative, and compassionate people like you get “unstuck” by harnessing their inner resources, processing trauma, and reconnecting to the empowerment of personal values, authenticity, and compassion.

In our lifetime, we find ourselves at many crossroads, and we can feel stuck or at a loss for direction.

Life is challenging, the options can feel overwhelming, and it's easy to feel lost and lonely; we've all been there, many times. You don't have to wander and struggle alone; I'm here to guide and support you, and provide ideas, skills, and even scientific research to help you decide.

As children, play is how we live our lives, interact with our environment, communicate our thoughts, feelings, and passions. Often times the stresses of life, relationships, job pressures, traumas, and losses make us forget how to play, how to explore, and seek growth. Wherever you find yourself today, I would be honored to help YOU find YOUR way back to your playful spirit. One that encourages you to grow, explore, and understand yourself. Gently pushing you to be the best you, you can be. So that you can overcome obstacles that are in your way, conquer hills you are seeking to climb, and relationships you are hoping to create.

For the past 25 years, I’ve been helping individuals and couples just like you find their way. If you’re here for you, I’ll start by understanding where you’ve been, what you’ve gone through, as well as the harmful stories you’ve been told by others. ‍ Then, I’ll use a compassionate, insightful approach to therapy, and together we’ll break you free to reclaim your natural self, live a relationally rich life, and build a better tomorrow.

I am glad you are searching for a therapist to help you with whatever life issue(s) you may be struggling with. Finding someone you feel safe and comfortable with is vital when deciding on a therapist. As part of my practice, I strive to create a secure and nurturing environment where you can share concerns and vulnerabilities while also making progress toward goals and the changes you would like to have happen in your life.

I believe in a holistic approach, meaning my view of the therapeutic process is shaped by a curiosity about the whole person situated within relationships, community, and social context. Through discovering an individuals inner knowledge, their intuition, and that inner spark of existence, I believe there is value in exploring who we are as people. The goal of good psychotherapy quite simply put is to become more of who we authentically are, everyday. It is also my belief that people naturally go through phases in life of seeking and integration, and that in an ideal outcome the therapist becomes obsolete.

In our work together, you will learn how to relate to yourself and the painful realities of life skillfully. To begin, I'll support you in slowly turning attention inward while remaining grounded and open. From this connected space, we'll inquire into the thoughts, behaviors, emotions, and sensations that color your experience of life. Naturally, unresolved trauma and unacknowledged grief will call attention to themselves. We'll meet them together, with genuine curiosity and compassion. Insights emerge both spontaneously and gradually when relating in this way and 'the work' begins to feel more authentic, enjoyable, and healing.

We work with individuals, couples, families, and children at any time in their cycle of life. We are a great fit for people who are seeking respectful, professional, warm, and empathic care. We have training and interest working with any number of life experiences including challenges in relationship, familial issues, and attend to the unique experiences of children and adolescents. We work with folks who are seeking real support and transformative change.

Early in life we learn to disconnect from our bodies and emotions in order to survive and adapt to the environment. Overtime, this manifests as patterns of behavior and self-rejection that though were once adaptive, now only keep us stuck. These patterns typically manifest as anxiety, depression, self-hatred, toxic shame, addictions, obsessions, compulsions, codependency and relationship problems. I work experientially in the moment to get to the root of what is getting in the way of desired experiences on an identity level. Many clients describe this process as a gradual “coming home” or reconnection to their authentic self.

Are you influenced by a strong inner critic telling you stories about yourself that don't match with who you want to be? Maybe you don't have anyone you trust with whom you can really talk. Perhaps you weren't taught adequate coping skills to deal with whatever is overwhelming you right now. If you don't know where to turn or what to do, why keep swimming in the same old muck? Let's meet and work out a plan to see how you can be truly yourself, a creative and functioning human being, capable of happiness, fulfilling relationships, finding meaning, letting go of past dysfunctional behaviors, and engaging in truly joyful living.

I provide caring and professional counseling services to adults, children, couples, and families using individual or group therapy. I believe that each person should be treated with the utmost respect.
