Waitlist for new clients
You want to appear competent and put-together, but are struggling internally. You’re someone who likes tackling challenges and exciting projects, but gets tripped up by mundane things. It leaves you feeling frustrated and ashamed of yourself. You look around and it seems like everyone else is effortlessly balancing all of their responsibilities. Like there must be something wrong with you, or you weren’t paying attention when they handed out the life instruction manual. But you’re ready to make a change - you’re ready to feel in control and content with yourself and the life you’ve created. I want to help you get there.

My goal in therapy is to hold a compassionate, non-judgmental space for clients to explore their inner lives and make day-to-day life better, one step at a time. I utilize a variety of evidenced-based approaches, including cognitive behavior therapy, mindfulness, and acceptance and commitment therapy. I help clients connect their mind and body when it comes to healing from traumatic and difficult life experiences. My clients report that connecting the mind and body promote a greater sense of goundedness and authenticity.

How the hell did I/we end up here? When are things going to finally shift for me/us? Life, relationships, job: Could be worse, but could be waaaay better. If any of these statements capture where you're at - welcome to therapy. Whether it's your first time looking for a therapist, or your second decade in treatment, with me, you can bring your whole self - with its questions, stuckness, fears, longings, uncertainties - and find ways to move through. Described as "warm" and "direct" by clients, my work is strongly grounded by anti-racism, critical multicultural theories, and affective neuroscience.

I offer clients a safe and non judgmental space to explore thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Sessions can be used to explore experiences in relationships, feelings of stress, desired changes, or symptoms associated with mental health. Clients who are interested in additional self-exploration can benefit from my talk-therapy approaches, as well as exploring emotions through the art making process. Art therapy is a creative option for clients who may feel stuck and can’t find the words to describe how they are feeling or for clients who desire visual and hands-on modes of processing.

Welcome! Sometimes we decide that we need a change in our lives. Maybe anxiety, depression, or a past experience has limited our views of ourselves and what we think we are able to do. Or we’re struggling with who we are and what feels most meaningful to us. Or we want to improve the way we perform. Taking a step toward change—especially the first step—can feel like standing still. But notice what happens when you can string a few steps together: suddenly you're a little bit further than you were before, and before you realize it, you're a lot further. That's the power of MOMENTUM.

Do you feel "drained" after interacting with certain people? Are you working on building healthier relationships and boundaries? Are you navigating a major life transition or event? Are you a high-functioning person who feels "stuck" in certain areas of your life or that you are "not living up to your potential"? Many of my clients identify as creative, intuitive, and empathic.
