I want to learn what makes you unique, help you build confidence in yourself, and help you reclaim your life narrative. Let's explore those places of power within you to work through the liminal parts of your life.

Healing isn't about erasing our pain and avoiding the things that make us uncomfortable—it's learning to transform our relationship to our pain, and finding new ways to interact with the challenging, unpredictable world we find ourselves in. Whether it's softening the impact of burnout and overwhelm, moving forward from trauma, or learning how to love and be loved more deeply, I believe we're all just trying to do our best with what we've got—and that the right help, at just the right time, can make a whole world of difference.

It's my belief to "Keep life simple." Life is stressful enough. Balancing work, family, social life, friends, and relationships can be overwhelming at times. I practice from a harm reduction holistic theoretical orientation. It combines person-centered (respect for autonomy) with CBT/systemic therapy (a critical look at culture and attachments). By identifying wants and needs, I can assist clients with locating triggers and establishing healthy coping skills to alleviate any mental, emotional, or physical stress. I work particularly with parents and clients dealing with ADHD,career choices, pregnancy, self-esteem and accountability.

I believe that each individual is the expert on their own life and that every person’s lived experience is valuable. I want to provide a safe and inclusive space for people to define and work toward what they determine is a full, beautiful life for themselves. I also believe that there are systemic issues in our society that contribute to mental health and other struggles. Therapy is not a fix for these issues but can help build coping skills while we do work in the outside world to dismantle systems of oppression and inequality.

Sometimes life can be hard AND you CAN STILL find contentment and even joy despite life's pain. Whether your suffering comes from old injuries or current life challenges, you CAN experience healing. It takes courage to do the self-exploration needed to clean out the wounds, and this is essential to keeping the wounds from causing more suffering. Our internal pain often impacts our relationships with loved ones, our ability to bring our best to our work or hobbies, or to just live a satisfying life. Therapy is a path to recovery from emotional wounds and to guide you on the journey of self-healing.

Are you feeling like your life has been more difficult to manage than it used to be? Are there things holding you back from feeling content with your life, whether it has been weeks or years? There are so many moving parts we are constantly managing to keep a balanced and fulfilling life, and keeping it together alone doesn't always work. My goal is to help you make sense of the chaos and get to a balance that works for you, like a piece of art composed entirely of dots. I provide a space driven by empathy, compassion, and the value of an outside perspective to help find blind spots or reframe meaning.
