The journey to truly understanding ourselves can be a difficult and daunting task to navigate alone. In one moment, we may feel like the wind is in our sails, and without warning we may get caught up and trapped in the same familiar storms of shame, trauma, and pain. This can feel isolating and lonely, but you don’t have to be alone in life’s storms. As a therapist my aim is to help you reach self-acceptance, inner tranquility, and personal understanding to better endure and overcome any poor weather that life sends your way.

Stuck. Stressed. Stranded. I hear these words in my work to help many if not most of my clients. They come to me looking for something similar to what you may seek. They want help with movement that leads to lasting growth and change. In a compassionate, curious, and at times challenging relationship with clients, I aid folks to identify patterns among thoughts, feelings, and behavior. I work with clients to reach true insight, a new understanding that draws together the head and the heart. Insight promotes clients to access powerful strengths and wisdom and gradually turn new understandings into lasting growth and change.

V Frankl: “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” My passion is helping disrupt the habitual autopilot of life in order to gain a sense of resiliency, purpose, and vitality. When experiencing burnout, acute/chronic stress, trauma, and/or chronic pain I work with you to restore balance in your life by processing stressors, trauma/triggers, and building in resources to increase resilience in the face of these barriers. This is achieved by working as a team: You are the expert of you and I bring the expertise of psychology.
