When our thinking becomes blurred, our behaviors will be altered, consequently affecting the people around us, and beyond; we suffer, and so do our loved ones. Sadly, for a long-time people have avoided seeking help because of the stigma attached. Fortunately, this thought process is changing; more people are getting help rather than suffering needlessly.

At this stage of my life and career, I am drawn to working with individuals and couples who feel stuck - stuck in their thoughts, their emotions, their relationships or the direction of their lives. Many of my ideal clients are people who outwardly appear to be functioning, yet inwardly feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of themselves. They may be wrestling with anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, or the sense that something isn't right.

As an EMDR trained clincian with advanced training in perinatal and post partum mental health, I support individuals, couples and families of all ages find the relief and connection they are searching for.
It wasn't supposed to be this way. Long days filled with even longer nights, feeling like it's never enough, that you are not enough. You feel disconnected from yourself and others, wondering if it will always be this way. Perhaps you feel "different" from those around you, and think to yourself "how could anyone understand me?" Feelings of shame, doubt and guilt grip you, and you wonder if you will ever feel like you again. In a world that values busyness over presence, it's easy to feel disconnected, untethered. You are searching for peace, understanding, connection and overall to feel "better." It's what has brought you here.
