Have you been experiencing anxiety, depression, unwanted memories, upsetting bodily sensations, or anger you struggle to control? I am here to help. My therapy dog, Toby, is also on your team! I have helped children, adults, couples, and families to heal through these issues over the past 12 years. The services I offer fit well with clients who have short or long term mental health goals, relationship or social problems, and/or existential work they would like to explore. Helping my clients to heal and thrive through life’s adversities is my passion. To me, therapy is an art, so let’s create something beautiful together!
It would be an honor to work with you in creating a life that you find truly worthy of living. We will process through the hard stuff in an accepting, safe space. I use an attachment focused lens, based in the neurobiology of emotion and relationship. I focus on practical skills building as well. For kids, we do this through play and art therapy strategies.
It is an interesting time to be alive. Our lives are full of contrast: highs, lows, and everything in between. I want to hear your story, to witness your layers and contrast, and to help you to develop your most authentic life. If you have questions about my identity, lived experience, modalities I utilize, or how sessions run, please feel free to reach out.
