Life doesn’t come with a manual and if it did we still might get a little lost. Let’s be honest, life can be a rollercoaster. Sometimes you’re thriving, other times you’re up at 2am googling “how to get my life together”. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed or just need someone to help you untangle the chaos of life, I’m here for you. As a therapist, I believe in creating a space where you can be real, feel heard, and actually work through what’s weighing on you or maybe even stop overanalyzing that one conversation from three years ago. Therapy doesn’t have to feel stiff or clinical I believe humor and healing go hand in hand.

Healing begins when we explore ourselves with curiosity instead of criticism. Together, we’ll explore how your past experiences may be shaping your present struggles so you can feel more connected to yourself and create meaningful, lasting change.
Many of my clients often feel different, misunderstood, or like they never quite fit in. My clients are often chronic overthinkers, people-pleasers, or the person others rely on while quietly struggling themselves. They often feel emotionally stuck, understanding what needs to change, but finding it difficult to break from familiar patterns.

Accepting New Clients. Have you been through the spin cycle one too many times in your relationship or marriage? Asking yourself, "How did I get here?" Coming out of divorce or considering divorce or separation? Do you think your partner is a narcissist? Or are they avoiding issues that you know are relevant? Do they blame you for everything? Have you or your partner experienced childhood trauma and it is wreaking havoc on your relationship? Maybe you have just had enough and you need to sort out your feelings and get grounded. The fact is that relationships, both past and present, lie at the core of all of our problems.

Who’s in the room with me? Men who feel lonely, isolated, unseen, and unheard in their relationships; Women burdened by silent emotional labor and relational over-functioning; People navigating relationship issues, difficult break-ups, or seeking a clearer sense of self; and couples looking to move beyond surface tension, address deeper issues, and build more resilient relationships.

If your mind never seems to slow down—constantly overthinking, replaying conversations, or worrying about what’s next—you’re not alone.
Maybe you’re the one others rely on. You show up, keep things together, and try to avoid conflict, even when it means putting your own needs last. Over time, it gets exhausting. You might feel anxious, on edge, or overwhelmed, even if it looks like you’re handling everything on the outside.

Symptoms tell stories and those stories must be heard, understood and thought about. I work with people who desire to understand themselves more fully, and interested at investing in a deep and long term process. I work with individuals wanting to address a variety of concerns, symptoms, and issues. A goal of my work is increasing self-awareness and having more satisfying long-lasting relationships.

At different points in life we can find ourselves "stuck," feeling anxious, overwhelmed, defeated, exhausted, depressed, or feeling disconnected from ourselves or others. Sometimes something just feels "off." Therapy is an opportunity to make positive changes in one's life and relationships. By gaining an understanding of our needs, motives, and fears, we can move out of an "auto-pilot" mode and into an active role in our lives. I work alongside clients to help them develop awareness of their options, identify self-defeating patterns, and help remove the obstacles creating distress. Together we shed light on what has been neglected.
