Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when you're navigating pain, uncertainty, or past trauma. I work with individuals facing anxiety, trauma, depression, and relationship difficulties, as well as those navigating periods of stress or emotional overwhelm. Whether you're just feeling temporarily stuck, or are burdened by longstanding patterns and painful emotions, my aim is to create a space where you not only feel genuinely understood, but also motivated to approach your struggles in new ways that lead to growth and lasting change.

Would you like someone to talk to - completely without judgement or bias? To have a safe space for guidance? To gain a different perspective? Everyone goes through challenging situations in life, and while you may have successfully navigated through other difficulties you've faced, there's nothing wrong with seeking out extra support when you need it. In fact, therapy is ideal for people who have enough self-awareness to realize they need a helping hand, and that is something to be noted. Here, you are taking responsibility by accepting what you are experiencing and making a commitment to change something about it.

***ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS*** ***I am also credentialed to do video therapy*** For more info check out my website and media interviews. I do not believe there is an ideal client. In my years of work I have encountered many people with many reasons for why they are the way they are. What I know is that if you are open to the process, we can figure it out. Most of my clients are nervous when they come for the first time, and rightfully so. It's anxiety provoking to talk to a stranger about your "stuff." Despite that hesitancy they overwhelmingly experience relief and begin to see a path forward after we start our work together.

You just finished work, and you’re totally exhausted. You never thought the career you worked so hard for would be this draining. Instead of fulfillment, you’re running on fumes. The long hours, constant demands, and endless responsibilities never let up. You’re so frazzled that even rest doesn’t restore you. Despite the grind, you still hold yourself to the highest standards. It’s frustrating that others don’t do the same. But deep down, you know this isn’t sustainable. If you keep going like this, you’ll never have time for what truly matters. Even if you could slow down, you’re not entirely sure who you’d be or what you’d do.

Hi there lovely, let me guess… You’ve got the Pinterest-perfect routines, a growing collection of hobbies (hello sourdough and gardening), and a bookshelf full of self-help. From the outside, it looks like you’ve got it all handled — but inside, it’s a different story. If you’re the kind of person who is high-achieving, deeply self-aware, and maybe just a little too good at holding it all together — but secretly anxious, overwhelmed, and constantly chasing the feeling of “finally getting it right” — you’re not alone. Sound familiar? You're in the right place.

You lost something important to you and your world has never been the same. Maybe you know exactly what happened. Maybe it happened so long ago, you can't remember the details. Either way, you're haunted by the ghost of a better life. It always seems to be just out of reach. Something needs to change, you can feel it in your bones. But every time you start to move in the right direction, things fall apart. Sometimes you wonder if you're doomed to feel this miserable and broken for the rest of your life.

I like to think of therapy as a really good conversation—except it’s all about you. You choose the subjects and set the goals, and I’ll be a warm, easy person to talk to along the way. If you want to keep things light, we can. Once you feel comfortable, I’ll gently help you go deeper and uncover the blind spots that may be keeping you stuck. My goal is for our sessions to feel honest, open, and supportive—so you can leave each one feeling clearer, lighter, and more connected to yourself. There's no use coming to therapy if you're just going to stay in the same place, right?
