Are you overwhelmed with Worry, Sadness, Uncertainty? Do you feel stuck in self-defeating patterns? How would your life or relationships be different after Therapy? There can be effective ways to manage and gain better understanding of the issues, feelings and questions facing you. The first step is getting your support, your safety net... someone who sees you and hears you and understands that your pain is real. Together we can identify issues, enhance your coping skills, develop strategies for depression, anxiety, trauma or relationship troubles.

As life has called each of us this year to dig deep to sustain the emotional rollercoaster, it's entirely understandable to feel deep fatigue. Dealing with the uncertainty can be a feat all of its' very own. You see friends, coworkers and neighbors seemingly making lemonade out of lemons, you yearn to do the same...but, something has been nagging at you this last year. Feeling reflective, you know that there is an another path calling you...a path revealing authenticity & joy. You know in your heart its there and possible but, have no idea where to start and/or have had a few false starts. Your intuition is right, follow it.

Life is full of challenges. I believe these challenges can also be stepping stones to our own personal growth.

As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, I strive to make my office a comfortable environment where those "hard conversations" can happen, resulting in a deeper understanding of what roles we play in relationships as well as how our thoughts impact how we feel and act.

From pre-conception to postpartum, becoming a mother rarely looks how we expect it to, and the strain between those expectations and our realities leave us vulnerable to feeling postpartum anxiety or depression.

The list is endless, and moms carry the weight of it.

I love working with couples! A flourishing relationship gives us access to a more fulfilled life. When we feel seen, understood and supported...we thrive!

It is my sole purpose to help individuals cultivate meaningful connection and trust within themselves and their partners. Don't let old stories and stuck behavior keep you from learning, expanding and healing. I do believe in hope and transformation!

I consider my role as a psychologist to be one of great privilege. As I journey with others through the issues that have brought them to therapy, I often feel invited into sacred spaces, filled with suffering, pain, confusion, or one’s deepest longings of the heart. It is in these sacred spaces that there is also opportunity for change, for hope, for healing. My hope is that through the process of psychotherapy people will come to experience greater freedom and vitality, deeper capacities for love and creativity, and more meaningful and redemptive relationships.
