Life gets heavy. Stress builds up. Moods crash. Anxiety won’t let go. Old patterns keep repeating no matter what you try. If you’re worn out from holding it all together, you’re not alone. Are you ready to feel better? To make real change? Reaching out takes courage, and I’m glad you’re here. Therapy offers a space to slow down, sort through the noise, & reconnect with yourself, your values, and the people who matte. Whether it’s anxiety, burnout, relationship struggles, or simply navigating life’s challenges, you don’t have to do it alone. I offer a warm, collaborative space rooted in Internal Family Systems and relational therapy.

The idea of starting therapy can be a little scary, but with the right fit, it is an effective method for growth. My role is to help you find your way to an authentic understanding of what obstacles are in your way, and figure out how you want to address them. I view therapy as an opportunity to learn from life's challenges and uncover different things that are keeping us feeling stagnant. The reward of commitment to growth is the empowerment to accomplish our goals and ease life's stressors.

The mind can be a paradise or a prison. We find ourselves wanting things in life, but another part of us starts to pull in another direction. This can play out in your health, your relationships, your family, your job. When those parts clash, the results can be anxiety, depression, and rage to name a few. I've been helping people sort these parts of themselves out for over five years, and while it may not be an easy process at times, it is usually a worthwhile one.

People tell you to “just get over it.” As if you didn’t wish that a thousand times a day. You white-knuckle it , but the nightmares always return. Lately, your spouse has been looking at you differently. You wonder how much longer they’ll stick around. You’re desperate to get away from the images in your head, but the memories come flooding back at any moment. The flashes of memory set your hands shaking and make the room spin. You try to block them out by isolating, drinking, and distracting yourself, but you know that’s only a band-aid. You need the memories to stop!

"A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step." Ancient Chinese philosopher, Lao-Tzu. Let's face it: asking for help isn't always easy, but you've taken the courage to do so. Therapy is an exciting experience of self-discovery! As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I work with adults, individually or as couples. I use a bilateral approach, incorporating a Strength-based practice with a focus on the mind/body connection, in particular Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT). I assist clients in noticing, when automatic processes are occurring & to alter their reaction to be more of a reflection.
