Many people seek therapy because something in their life isn't working, or because challenging emotions or past experiences are holding them back in some way. I help clients overcome their past, understand themselves, become mindfully present, and gain the confidence to make the choices that lead them where they want to go. I have specialized training and experience working with survivors of interpersonal violence, complex trauma and PTSD, and those living with chronic illness, as well as LGBTQIA+ individuals, couples, and non-traditional relationship structures such as ENM and Polyamory.

We live in a world where we are conditioned by so many things around us. Do you feel you are not good enough? Do you experience the need to achieve perfection? Are you made to feel your needs are unimportant? This can be a result of messaging we have received from family, society, culture, etc. It can leave us feeling sad, unmotivated, and purposeless, among many other emotions. Together we can challenge norms and evaluate if and what we can reset. Imagine a life in which you could be relieved of all the unnecessary weight you carry. Together we can awaken parts of you that you may not know exist.

Are you struggling to stay grounded in the present? It can be easy to catch ourselves overwhelmed with moments of discomfort from the past or find ourselves worried about what the future may bring. Sometimes it can feel impossible to take notice of the world around us when we are so consumed by emotions, memories, or distractions that take us away from the “here and now”. While the though of change may bring up worries of added work or pressure, learning how to identify when we are inundated with “there-and-then” thoughts can help bring us back to our present self.
