I help clients overcome struggles, uncover inner strengths, and develop a greater sense of purpose and meaning in life. Perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed by work or personal stressors, relationship difficulties, times of adjustment and transition, or past trauma. I can provide you with the support and guidance to transform these difficulties into an opportunity to grow stronger, develop inner resources and resiliency, and connect with what brings you joy. I particularly enjoy working with individuals with a reflective and curious nature, and have specific experience working with those in creative fields.

As a therapist, it is my sole intention to assist you in nurturing your own unique insight. When I'm in conversation with my clients, we work together to name and understand the issues that trouble them. I assist them in confronting the barriers to a more enjoyable life, and together we discover what needs to change, or what can be more peacefully accepted. I am primarily a "talk" therapist. My clients have described me as "down to earth" and "personable." I also use Cognitive Behavioral techniques in order to change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior.

We all go through challenges. Stress, trauma, oppressive narratives, and social conditioning from our upbringing affect our emotions, moods, nervous systems, and sense of self. These experiences can show up as: identity/sexuality issues, depression, anxiety, low self-value, difficulty staying present, and problems with our interpersonal and romantic relationships. You want change but how and where do you start? Unfortunately, life or care-givers don't always teach us these skills. By working together, we can safely work towards finding the authentic, whole person that already resides in you.

You want to be the best version of yourself, but there’s never enough time for all you need to do. You try to be productive at work, but can’t focus and have thoughts racing. When friends/family, you feel distant and numb… but don’t tell anyone your problems due to fear of being a burden. You may feel overwhelmed, annoyed, or sad; like an empty shell of your true self. There’s also constant tiredness, yet it’s hard to relax or sleep. Thoughts may be on an exhaustion loop of worries, endless To-Do lists, or a looming sense something might go wrong. If this sounds familiar, it may be due to a type of stress or anxiety.

Since becoming a therapist in 2011, I have been helping women challenge the messages they've been given about who they are and what they're worth. We live in a society where we're taught that women are only valuable if they're selfless and productive. If we take a break from checking things off a mental to-do list, we should feel guilty. If we prioritize our own wellbeing, we should feel ashamed of our "selfishness." If this sounds like your experience and it's causing you to feel anxious, overwhelmed, and unsure of who you are and what you want, let's talk!

I have worked with people through their bodies, minds, and souls for more than 25 years. My focus is in Somatic-Depth work. Depth Psychology looks at what is going on deeper than thoughts and behaviors. Somatic Psychology brings respect for what the body has experienced, and for its wisdom. Somatic and Depth together reclaim psychology from behavioralism—-restoring a reverence for the soul. I work in a way that is gentle and deeply respectful. Together, we will listen for what is asking to heal and use modalities that support the body, brain, nervous system, heart, and soul to come into the present moment, balance, and strength.

Feeling like a side character in your own life? Do experiences from the past seep into your present? Do you feel like your internal compass needs to be recalibrated? I specialize in working with creatives who feel stuck or dragged down. Especially when it’s a result of negative self-talk, low self-esteem, perfectionism, patterns from the past reemerging in the present, traumatic residue, anxiety, depression, or other familiar manifestations of old stories.

In working with adolescents and young adults, I often see them struggle with unconscious pattern behaviors that relate to early experience. The unspoken or unprocessed trauma or negative experience can affect people for years. My role in therapy is to support clients in raising awareness of their feelings, thoughts, and needs, which can help them make healthier decisions and achieve self-actualization.
