Are you struggling to maintain healthy relationships? Do you experience anger, depression, anxiety, mistrust, daily confusion, difficulty with communication, fear of failure? If you’re struggling with one or more of these things, let me help you find the balance that brings greater self-awareness, self-worth, self-compassion, and improved connections with others. In addition to utilizing evidenced based approaches, I also enhance the treatment with music, art, and geek culture.

My ideal client is either someone that has been having difficulty connecting to themselves with knowing who they are or what they want after a life-transition, a traumatic event, an Autism or CPTSD diagnosis, or maybe for the first time ever. Or someone trying to connect better to the people around them in building their friend group, their sense of community, their bond with their children, or their intimacy with their romantic partner.

Stress, anger, worry, sadness, something isn't right. Stuck, tired, frustrated; not feeling like yourself. Anxious, agitated, or numb, acting in a way that is not you. Shame, guilt, or negative thoughts, it is hard to see the bright side. Work, relationships, family, and/or health, are a struggle. If any of these words resonate with you, it is time. There is no need to prolong these feelings or make a bad situation worse. Stop the madness. Talk to a professional. Invest in yourself and get back on track. You can do this.

My work is guided by a commitment to those who may feel uncertain or stuck, struggling with self-doubt, inner conflict, or feeling overwhelmed by their emotions. They may navigate difficult relationships or find themselves repeating patterns they don’t fully understand. Anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem may leave them feeling disconnected from themselves or uncertain about who they are. They are curious (or open to curiosity) about their experiences and appreciate a journey toward deeper self-understanding. They seek a space to explore their emotions with curiosity and compassion.
