It's hard to find a therapist. Especially when you're not feeling your best. I applaud you for getting this far. Now it's time to invest in your relationship with yourself. I know what it’s like to feel alone with your problems. Maybe you have no one to talk to. Or maybe you feel bad making your friends, your family, or your partner listen to your problems again. I know what that feels like, and I’m here. I’m ready to listen. It’s time to let go of anxiety, sadness, frustration, anger, and shame. I want to process these things with you. You don’t have to go through this alone anymore.

Do you feel like all the pieces are falling apart? Have life transitions caused you to feel completely unsteady? Are you experiencing an inner battle where who you are and who you wish to be, are in conflict? Do you carry shame, trauma, and secrets so deeply and feel unsafe exploring and healing these parts? Do you live an alternative lifestyle (LGBTQIA, Poly, Kink, BDSM) and do not know where to turn, to process the dynamics of your relationships, passions, and trauma? Is living life authentically a goal you wish to achieve? Can you imagine loving yourself completely as you are, without concern for how others view you?

Do the pressures of life sometimes outweigh your strength? Being strong All. The. Damn. Time. Is exhausting. Do you have BIG feelings and feel them only when you are alone? Hiding them so the world can’t see and call you weak? Slowing down is not an option; because you fear what might happen if you do. Haven’t taken a REAL vacation in who knows how long for whatever reason you come up with. Do you have a little voice in your head that is mean and doesn’t shut up? Not sure if it is even possible to truly accept yourself? Can you answer the question “Who am I?”

Is your child or teen struggling with transitions? Does everything end up in a power struggle? Are they frequently anxious and angry?

Happiness is possible for each of us. It can seem out of reach, but together we can uncover your goodness and joy. You will feel less worried.

Feel your toes, notice the colors, breath in--good. That's it. This is something you already know how to do. We will build a practice of gratitude and happiness from this spark.

As a fellow human in progress, I believe our greatest resource is relationship and the ability to connect with one another. It is often in the messiness of relationships we’re hurt, but it is also in relationships that we find healing.

Tired of feeling like you are stuck on a loop? Would you like to feel at peace and have some clarity of how, when, and where to move forward?

Often times, I’ve noticed that people seeking therapy already intuitively know what they want, or even what their potential solutions may be – before stepping foot inside my office. What they may lack is the support towards making those desires a reality. That’s why my therapeutic approach is collaborative and centered around strengthening your voice and choice in your life. I won’t stand in front of you to pull you in this direction, or behind you, to push you in another; but rather you can find me walking beside you serving as your rock and partner in healing.
