I am accepting new online clients! We all go through periods in our lives in which our goals seem out of reach. Turbulent life transitions, anxiety, and depression can leave us feeling immobilized and unempowered. These experiences can also be invitations to dig deeper, to let go of limiting beliefs and habits, and to summon what truly produces contentment, connection, and joy. My goal as a therapist is to support each client on their own unique journey toward thriving.

Life can be full of challenges and unexpected events. I can help assist you in processing the things you can't control, while simultaneously taking charge of the things you can control. Whether you are suffering from PTSD, sexual abuse, death of a loved one, divorce, chronic illness, cancer, work issues, addiction, depression, or anxiety, you do not need to navigate those challenges alone. Every day life (and a pandemic!) can also be reason enough to want additional support. Together, we can explore and identify the patterns in your life that are no longer helpful so you can become your best self!

When it comes to making meaningful life changes, there are things that work and things that don't. If you feel like you've tried everything - or are desperate to try something new and don't know where to start - I can help. If you or a loved one are facing challenges at work, school, in relationships, with health, or simply feel overwhelmed and exhausted by the demands of daily living, there is help available. If you are looking for solutions that work, you've come to the right place. I use evidence-based techniques for real, rapid, observable change.

UNFORTUNATELY I AM NOT TAKING NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME. Anyone can have a time in their life when they may need to speak with someone to help them get some clarity or another perspective. First we need to see where you are in that process and together develop a plan to help you learn the skills you need to improve your daily functioning, improve your relationship with yourself and others, improve your ability to self-sooth and self-regulate, increase your ability to "bounce back" from difficulties and/or increase your sense of connection and self-worth. Relationships are rewarding and hard work. I often work with couples/families.

I am here to help you stop running and start living! Your healing is a journey that needs a strong co-pilot!

Do you feel like you and your partner are more like roommates who are annoyed with one another instead of romantic partners?

Many people experience a deep sense of longing often described as a feeling of emptiness. What we use to fix or fill that emptiness can begin addictive processes like alcoholism, love addiction, and codependency. My approach is to meet that longing with compassion, understanding and love.

Together we find the meaning that is generating or keeping the presenting symptom or problem in place and then move to swiftly create positive lasting change.
