I believe everyone has the capacity for growth and self-actualization. We are the best experts on ourselves and have tremendous capacity for change. However, sometimes we don't know how to put that potential to use. Sometimes, anxiety, trauma or low self-esteem can keep us from coping with circumstances or trusting our abilities. We feel trapped, overwhelmed or helpless. But it doesn't have to stay this way. Therapy can provide the support to feel accepted and the confidence to start facing your biggest challenges.

“Before you assist others, put your oxygen mask on first." Prioritizing your wellness is essential. Perhaps you feel pulled in a million directions or you have suffered a loss. Perhaps you are stuck in an unhealthy relationship or you constantly compare yourself to others. Breaking unhealthy cycles of thought can be life-changing.

Many of my clients come to therapy because they're exhausted by the same conflicts, anxiety, or emotional struggles repeating in their lives and relationships. My first priority is understanding your experience. Together, we'll identify the emotional patterns that keep you stuck and begin creating new ways of responding. Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and, when appropriate, EMDR, I help individuals and couples strengthen relationships, reduce anxiety, and experience greater peace and connection.

Sometimes the things we experience don’t come with words to express them. I use an integrative trauma-informed body-aware approach to help clients listen to the stories that their bodies, emotions, and experiences are trying to tell them. I provide a compassionate, supportive atmosphere to allow your inner experiences to be witnessed and processed in a welcoming and non-judgmental space. I often incorporate grounding exercises, mindfulness, coping skills, and integration of both EMDR and art therapy when working with individuals to connect deeply within themselves to provide safety and empower them to transform their lives.

Hello. I am a therapist in private practice with over 20 yrs experience. In these challenging times, it can be helpful to have a person to talk to in a setting that is safe, supportive, and confidential. Essentially, I see this work as being about Resilience and Joy. Therapy in my practice usually includes skill building in the areas of mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), self soothing, and assertive communication. Other influences that impact my perspective are years of mindfulness and meditation practice, long term martial arts training, and being a singer/guitarist.

Sometimes life just knocks you over. You play a simple event over and over in your head until you're sobbing and feeling more alone than ever before. You feel broken down from the painful memories that haunt you and the flashbacks that have you frozen in time, not knowing why you can't move on. You struggle to find the motivation to get out of bed. You keep it all to yourself because no one cares/no one wants to listen to this stuff/other people have it worse/everyone has their own crap. Please know you aren't alone in this. You aren't "defective", you aren't "crazy", you aren't "broken"... you're alive. And life is hard.

One of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Our past shapes how we see and respond to the world—but sometimes, it creates pain that lingers. Do you feel anxious, depressed, or struggle with self-worth?
You’re not alone.
Reaching out for help can feel overwhelming. That inner voice might whisper that you’re not worthy, that nothing will change, or that you have to carry it all alone. But the truth is—You are worthy. You can begin again. And things can change.

Beginning psychotherapy is a very significant step in a person's life. I understand, and very much appreciate the trust that needs to be built to share thoughts, experiences, and pain that have brought you to this point. I also understand how difficult it is to share these kinds of things with someone you don't know. I realize that trust and this process takes time, and I believe and respect that the patient knows when they are ready to reveal and talk about their experiences and their emotions. I commit to providing you with a safe environment where you will feel comfortable to share and to achieve your treatment goals.

My goal as your therapist is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported without judgment. I believe that healing begins when we feel safe enough to be ourselves, to be honest about our struggles & to know we’re not alone in them.
I will meet you where you are and together, we’ll work to untangle the barriers that keep you stuck-whether that’s managing anxiety or depression, navigating substance use, healing from past trauma, or understanding patterns in relationships.
I’ll bring curiosity, compassion, and evidence-based strategies tailored to you. My approach is collaborative and flexible.

I believe that at any given moment we are all doing the best that we can with what we have within us. Everyone has found themselves in the midst of the struggle at some point, and that struggle may appear the same or differently each time. I enjoy working with a wide variety of concerns such as anxious/depressive symptoms, relationship conflict, trauma, and personality disorders. No one can force a change to happen so there is never a guarantee of services. However, if you are looking for someone to provide safety and support while challenging you to better understand yourself and your roles - this may be a good space for you.

As a mother, grandmother, teacher and former family and divorce mediator, I am sensitive to finding the right words to soothe, comfort and connect with others so that each person feels heard, understood and valued. In therapy I will help you recognize, accept, investigate and nurture your feelings. From this connected place your interactions with others will reflect your heart instead of your threatened brain. My approach is based on the science of neurobiology, the wisdom of Buddhist philosophy, a dose of humor, and the warmth we generate together.
