I view therapy as an invitation to bring awareness to the here and now. For many of us, we press forward, through, and over difficult feelings when they arise in our daily lives. Often they show up as unwanted thoughts or images. They not only fill us with dread, but we will go to great lengths to avoid them. On the other hand, what if moving toward our feelings actually reduces the influence they have over us, allowing us to attend to the very things we value, thereby creating meaning and purpose in our lives.

Therapy enables clients to safely examine painful emotions, false beliefs, and the unhelpful actions that accompany them, all on a foundation of established trust and objective acceptance. It is important that my clients feel their needs are met and they are heard. Clients can develop a better sense of self and improve the quality of their experiences and relationships with others by incorporating insights with tools and strategies for wellness in therapy.

Are you seeking a space to be seen and heard? Are there parts of you that are feeling lost, stuck, or overwhelmed? Are the big emotions feeling particularly heavy? Your story is important and is what makes you uniquely you. I believe that we are shaped by our past experiences, relationships, and environments. Our stories rarely unfold in the way we expect. Oftentimes, to move forward we need to heal from things in our past. Together in therapy, we will explore all parts of your story – from the chapters already concluded to those not yet written.

I help people in challenging relationships clarify what is going on and find their path back to feeling cared for, respected, and loved. Anxiety is tiring. It is always there, nagging: “What if ...., What if ...?" You want to feel at peace – to breathe in and out, have space, and not feel pressured. Anxiety hijacks your thoughts and squeezes the space out. Things get tight. Time is short, money is short, and relationships are at risk. We will work together to understand your anxiety better. You can’t know it well when you run away from it, or it runs you. We will help you get back in control, feel at peace, and enjoy your life.

I have experience working with survivors of sexual assault and certified in trauma-informed therapy. This works by using somatic techniques and mindfulness to bring awareness to your body. The approach is a “bottom-up” method, where importance is placed on body sensations that tap into your internal wisdom to find relief.
