When asked, "How are you?" Clients often respond, "I feel lost/empty," "I don't know who I am. What's wrong with me?" I hear confusion as they ask for help, but these feelings can change.

Life is a journey; along the way we step over pebbles and there are times we feel we are standing in front of an unmanageable boulder. We are faced with a multitude of circumstances that challenge our strength. At some point, we discover feeling disconnected from ourselves or those around us. You can gain clarity and balance with difficult life transitions.

I think of therapy as a safe space to truly be heard, a place to catch your breath, and gain support in processing and sorting through difficult emotions and situations. As a clinician, I value authenticity and humor in my connections with clients. I believe a strong positive alliance between myself and my clients is what fosters trust and hope, allows us to explore vulnerable emotions and difficulties, and ultimately work towards our therapeutic goals.

I primarily use IFS therapy to bring a sense of organization to inner turmoil and mixed emotions in order to identify a path toward resolution. This process can help you to gain understanding and insight about yourself that often results in less anxiety, less depression, less dependence on others and substances, less frustration and conflict, and more choice in how you want to feel and react. IFS offers a means to break these patterns through gaining understanding, insight, and resolving underlying core needs.

Are you feeling anxious or depressed on the inside but trying to hold it together on the outside? Do you feel the weight of the world on your shoulders but have no one to talk to about it? You have already completed the hardest step, reaching out for help! I enjoy creating a safe and judgement free space to listen to your struggles. Within our sessions, you will learn tools to better cope with emotional triggers, manage daily life stressors and set boundaries to achieve a healthier you. I work with children, adolescents, teens, and young adults to manage challenges and navigate through individual concerns.

While it is very difficult to ask for help, we all have times in our lives when we need to talk to someone. What I offer is a non-judgmental environment for all to work through their problems using talk therapy. Through self reflection and behavior modification I feel that we all can overcome our troubles.

It’s okay to not be okay. Sometimes, we all need somebody to lean on and help us understand the problems we are facing. I provide a nonjudgmental, safe space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings and behaviors through a compassionate and curious style. I recognize that coming to therapy and being vulnerable can be challenging and, at times, scary to do. Finding a therapist who is the right match for you is important! We have to be able to feel comfortable in the therapeutic relationship in order to foster a sense of trust and vulnerability that are necessary to make real changes and promote healing.
