Let’s find you holistic solutions to life’s stressors. Perhaps you simply need natural ways to cope with stress, improve mood/sleep, gain energy, find work-parenting-life balance, mental clarity and focus. But you are a soul living a physical life, and likely have lost touch with this aspect of self and your purpose for being. Anxiety, depression, burnout commonly result. You may no longer resonate with your life, and need more confidence to pursue your highest dreams. Worse, completely lost, you don’t even know who you really are. You wear a mask, feel like an imposter. I can help you feel the real you, often for the first time.

Let me pour a cup of tea, and let's talk! Do you feel stuck? Do you find yourself in the grips of anxiety, trapped in the depths of depression, or oscillating toward both? Are you having trouble with making decisions, in relationships, focusing, functioning in daily life, giving and receiving love, or engaging in activities that were once your everyday life? Do you find yourself stuck in a loop of negative coping mechanisms leading you down a harmful path? I strive for empathy, understanding, and healing with everyone who pulls up a chair with me.

Are you experiencing life changes, issues within your relationships, or suffering from anxiety and depression? Life is too short to let trauma control us or be stressed/ angry all the time. I want you to be free of emotional pain, able to deal with life on life’s terms, and find purpose and meaning in work, family, friendships, and all other life areas. We can all overcome challenges and rise above them, but sometimes, we need guidance. Allow me to help you on your journey of healing and self-discovery.

I have been fortunate to have the majority of my referrals come through friends or family of prior clients. The passion I felt when entering the field of counseling 20 years ago, seems even greater today. More individuals and couples are genuinely motivated to seek deeper levels of understanding and self-awareness. Most behavior and thought patterns are learned early in our development. Many suffer due to repeated behavior and choices, involving friends, family, and relationships. Change in the choices we make, often results in positively altering the way we feel, perceive, and live life. Authentic change begins within oneself.

It’s tough when you’re dealing with depression, self-doubt, anger, relationship struggles, grief, or trauma from your past. You might feel lost, stuck, or like you're carrying the weight of it all alone. You want things to feel different—better—but don’t know where to start. Therapy can help. Together, we’ll take the time to explore what’s behind those feelings, find ways to manage them, and work toward lasting change. Taking small steps toward change is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone.

Sometimes, when our emotions feel out of our control, we do things that don’t reflect our values. My goal is to assist you as you work to engage in life more authentically using effective nervous system regulation and increasing skillfulness. I believe that people are always doing the best that they can with the resources that they have, and they also want and need to deal with the hardships of life more effectively - that's where I step in to support, accept, educate, and guide. Some of my areas of specialization include Addiction, Anxiety, BPD, Depression, Identity Exploration, Trauma Resolution, & Relationships and Communication.
