I work with individual adults on issues related to anxiety, stress, relationships, perfectionism, and traumatic experiences - including climate and metacrisis anxiety. Sometimes change is a choice, and other times we are blindsided by life. Regardless of what leads to a shift for you, having a compassionate ally on the journey can make all the difference. As part change expert/part companion, I help you to process, make peace with, or initiate steps towards transitioning into more presence, agency and engagement. All with the intention of reaching a place of less suffering, sustainable hope, and increased joy.
My approach is collaborative and strongly influenced by an understanding of neuroplasticity, attachment, and trauma. I have formal training in EMDR, AEDP, parts work, and mindfulness-based therapies. Working from an integrative and holistic perspective, I help clients heal and shift old patterns and cultivate self-compassion and acceptance.
I believe all people are incredibly resilient and creative, and yet, we all get stuck at times. Finding a therapist you like and trust can be daunting. Whether it's your first time reaching out for help, or you're re-entering therapy, my goal is to make the process as easeful as possible. Reach out via phone, email or my website for a free consult.

I work with clients experiencing anxiety, stress, overwhelm, and burnout, often due to perfectionistic patterns, ADHD symptoms, career dissatisfaction, caregiving roles, and increasingly, climate change, politics, and/or the metacrisis. In the initial session we take a deep dive into the issues at hand and then come up with a plan to move forward towards more presence, agency, and hope.

I most commonly use a blend of mindfulness-based, experiential, and emotion-focused techniques. Simply put, I believe change and healing happen through relationships (in our lives and the therapy room) and by having new, reparative experiences. It's my goal to help folks live more in the present, with increased compassion and capacity to navigate life's inevitable ups and downs.
