Do you feel as though you are just coasting through life? Do you want to be more engaged and grounded in your experiences? When life becomes too hectic and confusing, we often feel frustrated, angry, and alone, and wonder “What is the point.” There is another way, another perspective! By utilizing your strengths, you will emerge from each session with a renewed curiosity and excitement for what is possible. You deserve a place where you can articulate the thoughts you crowd out as quickly as possible because of self-doubt, life traumas, or even just a sense of “Why bother.” You deserve the time to explore!
I strive to create a supportive therapeutic space where you can explore strengths via proven therapy techniques to provide motivation for a more engaged you. I specialize in trauma recovery, life crises, anxiety/depression, attachment issues, and self-concept/esteem. Approaches range from narrative to trauma talk along with mindfulness and wellness.
I firmly believe that when we share our burdens, they are more bearable. Within that collaborative and interactive therapeutic relationship, you will be successful in understanding your reactions to life to live a more empowered and meaningful life.

I often use an eclectic mix of therapies to ensure a good fit. In your first session, we will explore what brought you to therapy and then decide on ways to support your journey. With most therapies, we will explore thought and behavior patterns and how those impact our experiences. During treatment, we will review habits, and goals and learn how to manage those to enhance daily life.
