As a therapist, I understand that life’s unexpected circumstances can sometimes feel overwhelming. But remember, it's OK to seek help. This is a sign of strength and the first step towards growth and healing. I feel privileged to guide clients on this journey, providing a warm, non-judgmental space where you feel valued and heard. With over 12 years of experience in the mental health field, I provide quality feedback in our sessions, helping to identify obstacles to your well-being. These may stem from mental health issues, trauma, unhealthy relationships, or limited coping strategies.

Your Story Matters and So Do You! Each of us tell ourselves a story about who we are, what we believe, and where we come from. Understanding our story releases the capacity to influence it in creative and valuable ways. Using complementary therapeutic approaches and techniques, we will explore cognitive perceptions and behavioral strategies to help promote resiliency, balance, and emotional prosperity. Focusing on your unique strengths, the goal is to move through any challenging situation you may be facing right now and tap into your true potential allowing you to enjoy a more fulfilling and meaningful life experience.

Life is difficult and as human beings we all struggle. I like to see life as a journey and imagine us all as fellow travelers. If you feel internal distress, resentments, or angst or are having trouble with the relationship with yourself or others I would love to work with you on your journey to peace and wellness.

My clients come to therapy feeling disconnected from themselves and overwhelmed with the challenging demands life presents them. Often they present as outwardly successful and are struggling internally with not feeling good enough. They tend to have histories of painful experiences and a misunderstanding of their nervous system’s needs. Despite feeling uncomfortable, they need someone who can sit and witness their pain with them. Many of my clients are individuals within the helping profession and are people going through life changes and transitions who desire to feel more grounded in their professional and personal identities.

Feeling emotionally overwhelmed at some point is something to which most people can relate. I understand that sometimes life circumstances can leave one feeling conflicted, stressed and even hopeless and helpless. However, there is hope and there is help. As a professional, I have witnessed time and again the power of accurate information, solid resources, and compassionate support to transform even the most dismal circumstances. It is my strong desire to bring this powerful combination to all those with whom I work, as they discover more deeply their own inner resources and strengths.

Are you looking for a therapy experience that feels...different? You may be noticing patterns in your life—things in your relationships, from your past, or in the way you think or feel that have you feeling stuck. You want to start feeling better day-to-day but you’d also like to get to the deeper roots behind this. You need somewhere that doesn’t feel stuffy, intimidating or overly clinical—a place where you can feel comfortable being honest with someone else and (more importantly) with yourself. Because you know there’s more to life than this cycle you feel caught in and you are ready to discover what that looks like for you.
