You don't have to be experiencing a breakdown to benefit from therapy. Perhaps you're just exhausted from loss, life stressors or painful relationships. Maybe you spend your life caring for others as a parent, spouse or health care worker. You find yourself spent, frazzled and anxious. You feel stuck about problems you cannot fix and feel discouraged about keeping it all together. Therapy can help you process what's going on so you can more fully engage in the moment and in the rest of your life. You can work through losses, gain insight and address burnout. You can collect tools to deal with how you respond to what life hands you.
As your therapist, I promise to be authentic and to meet you at face value. Given my medical social work background and relevant personal experience, I can help you work through the losses, anxieties of the moment, and difficult life transitions. Together we address what you brings you to therapy and explore strategies for living with more meaning.
Are you curious to learn more? Reach out and we can have a chat. Trust me, you have what it takes to manage. Like many of my clients, you can feel less bogged down by what bothers you and can learn to lean into your experiences-joyful, painful and anything in between. You can cope purposefully while navigating life’s challenges.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, loss and other life transitions. Throughout our sessions, I invite you to recognize stress in your body and explore ways to calm yourself when feeling anxious or panicked. Along with body awareness, you will collect tools for coping through difficulties while also processing how your thoughts and emotions are related to your behavior and actions.
