You deserve to live a life that leaves you excited to wake up every morning! Are you currently struggling with daily life, parenting, career, work, relationships, grief, feeling sad, anxious, worried, overthinking, little to no motivation and not sure about where to start? I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. You really can have a life of abundance, peace and joy! How can I help you? Let's talk!

Life can be crazy sometimes and as a therapist, I want to walk with you through anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, a new medical diagnosis that threatens life as you know it, or transitioning from one stage in life to another. Therapy can be a long or short journey to help you gain the insight needed to explore how past and present experiences impact your ability to manage life's daily stressors and help you develop the coping skills you need to get on with your life. I strive to establish a therapeutic relationship that builds on trust, honesty, empathy and compassion as the pathway to healing and wellness for yourself.

If you're finding it difficult to manage anxiety, mood changes, life changes, relationships, school/career stress, or recovery from substance use; I'm here to offer you a safe and supportive space. Together we will find ways to manage the challenges you face in a way that works best for you.

My hope is to be able to connect with those who are "surviving" by exploring each individual's strengths to build resilience and help flourish. Each of us is born with an empty book filled with chapters to capture each stage in our lives. Let's creat a beautiful story together.

The challenges of life’s situations, the loss of a loved one, underlying trauma, mental illness, substance misuse, intimate partner violence can bring on feelings of loneliness, sadness, fear, anger, desperation, hopelessness, and grief to name a few. These emotions can at times leave us feeling “not like ourselves,” overwhelmed, and out of control, thereby, interfering with our daily lives and our ability to enjoy life to the fullest. Take a moment to imagine your life without these problems.

Sometimes you feel like a failure. No matter what you do, nothing works and you just don't know what to do anymore. Perhaps you are feeling very alone; yet putting up that façade so people have no idea what you are going through. When we are feeling so stuck, hopeless, or alone, it is really difficult to know what to do differently and it is hard to know how to reach out for help. You have taken the first courageous step in making a change by coming here. What if I told you that there is hope? We will explore what is meaningful to you and help you recover joy. We will cry, laugh, and work on your strengths.

Congratulations on taking the first step toward potentially changing your life for the better. Partnering with the right therapist is of primary importance to your healing journey. I have been described as compassionate, authentic, nonjudgmental, and honest, with a well-placed spark of humor. A therapy session with me might be based in person-centered modalities, EMDR, mindfulness, holistic practices (like meditation or hypnotherapy), or whatever you need. I have experience with and truly value working with adolescents, adults, and older adults diverse in gender, race, sexual orientation, and beliefs. All are welcome.

As a marriage and family therapist providing care to individuals, couples and families, I utilize a systems approach to improve understanding of self, others, and the issues you are struggling with to facilitate more effective problem-solving. Together, we explore the systems in which you function - family, relationships, school/work, and the larger community - to identify opportunities for change that promote individual and relational well-being. Systemic/relational therapies promote problem-solving and healing by supporting communication and flexibility, building empathy, promoting connection and building healthier relationships.

Are you looking for a supportive space to process your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgement? Are you carrying around the weight of stress, trauma or worry all day? Whether you're looking for structured trauma treatment such as EMDR, anxiety and depression management through CBT or emotionally focused talk therapy for everyday challenges, your needs will be prioritized in sessions. Together, we will work on creating a plan that feels comfortable and effective at helping you feel better so you can get back to your life. I offer in person and virtual appointments depending on your preference.

Starting therapy is a challenging decision as we typically feel that we should manage things on our own. However, you realize that your symptoms are worsening. It may be getting to the point that it's interfering with your performance at school/work. You are having more difficulties getting out of bed and/or you may be overwhelmed by everything going on.
