Please note: I am only accepting coaching clients at this time, and am not providing therapy services. I work with people navigating big life changes or stresses and are wondering if they can get through it. Change is more difficult when you have a mental health diagnosis, difficult experiences in your past, or are adapting to a new culture. This kind of stress makes everything harder and can overwhelm all the skills you have! But there are skills and experiences you can both learn and strengthen so that you can navigate whatever life brings more effectively. I specialize in integration coaching and self-knowing coaching.

Is anxiety or depression getting in the way of the life that you want to lead? Do you want to move towards independence but feel confused or overwhelmed?

I offer a calming, nonjudgmental presence providing support and helping you to learn new ways of overcoming the difficulties that you face.

Are you finding yourself in unproductive patterns within your life or within your relationship? Do you feel stuck and unable to identify what to do next? I find that unhealed wounds, emotions, and thought processes can keep people stuck. This may prevent you from being able to engage in ways you would prefer. With guidance, clients create a solid foundation for themselves enabling them to function from a place that promotes personal growth and healthier relationships.

I believe that coming to therapy when your life is not proceeding in the way you wish is a courageous and important step in building the life you want.

I respect the decision to begin therapy and understand that it's sometimes a hard step that requires great courage. I firmly believe that however you're feeling now, there is a capacity for healing, change, and joy within you.

Sometimes on our life’s journey we encounter obstacles or situations that are difficult to handle on our own. A listening ear and alternative perspective can help find solutions, insights, and ways of coping that address these obstacles and lighten the load. People have the inner resources to make it through challenging situations and emotions, to grow, learn, thrive, and find happiness. I endeavor to support them as they build on their strengths and insights, and to provide helpful techniques.

Feeling stuck is natural and finding your way out may seem like an impossible goal. I meet clients where they are at building upon their strengths to move forward and achieve greater quality of life. My passion is working with motivated clients managing depressive symptoms, anxious symptoms, issues stemming from trauma, problems with addiction, issues of sexuality and sexual orientation, and challenges related to life transitions. I support individuals with achieving their personal goals. I focus on the whole person physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I enjoy working with clients from varied cultures and backgrounds.

Feeling unlike yourself or that you don't even know yourself can be painful and confusing. Feeling like you have to hide can compound the pain.

You may relate with some of my areas of focus including: identity confusion/concerns, addictive or obsessive behaviors, sexual concerns, fear, or those needing assistance managing personal and institutional barriers related to succeeding in high performance academic pursuits or jobs.

I am dedicated to helping couples and individuals strengthen their relationships, build security, and navigate the challenges that can arise in intimate partnerships. We are wired to connect with others, yet emotional and physical intimacy can be so tough at times. Often couples are impacted by differences in desire, emotional expressiveness, upbringing, communication, broken trust, or past traumas. It makes sense why relationships can be so hard to do on our own, but we are all capable of loving, safe, and healthy intimacy. I would love to help you break out of the frustrating relationship cycle you may feel stuck in.
