Life can be really difficult. You’ve tried so much on your own to overcome the anxiety, grief and depression. The past comes up to haunt you just when you’ve thought you have come to terms with it. Day to day functioning can be difficult and daunting. Getting to sleep at night can be a challenge yet getting out of bed in the morning to face another day is difficult. Relationships are not going as you would like them to. Friends do not understand the pain and the daily struggles. You may be struggling with health and family issues as well.

Has there ever been a time in your life when you felt unworthy, unlovable, filled with self judgement, fear and anxiety? When no matter what you tried--new job, new town, new relationship; long lasting satisfaction eluded you. Perhaps you’re feeling that way now? Allow me to assist you on your journey to gain access to the emotional wellness you are seeking. I offer understanding and compassion to guide you beyond the places you are stuck. You deserve to live your life to the fullest and not allow new or longstanding emotional issues to keep you from reaching your full potential and becoming the person you want to be.

I probably don’t need to tell you we’re living in a racist, sexist, heteronormative, capitalist dystopian nightmare in a slow and painful collapse. It’s hard to cope with that knowledge while dealing with day-to-day nonsense, on top of reliving past trauma on a regular basis. It’s a lot and it’s heavy and it sucks. Some people turn to substances and other vices to cope.

I have a deep belief in the ability for you to overcome difficulties. As a therapist, I believe, you are the expert in your experience and it is my role to provide a safe, understanding, and non-judgmental space for you to heal, grow, and move into a new way of being and feeling. But that doesn’t mean you have to figure everything out on your own–we will work together. I am here to support you in your healing journey. Collaboratively, we will set goals on both what you want to achieve and things that you want to rid from your life.

My goal is to join you in the mess that is life. I am here to support you in finding meaning through the joys, pains, trials and tribulations. I'm looking for clients who are ready to dig in, grow and make some life changes. Whether you're recently out of prison, supporting a family member with a brain injury, supporting children who aren't all sunshine and rainbows or just trying to function in life without breaking down every other day, I'm here for all of it. I am generally looking for adult clients, with diverse backgrounds, looking for ways to thrive, advocate and empower themselves (and those around them) through life.

You are probably here because you are struggling in some way. Beginning therapy can be a hard decision and maybe a little uncomfortable . I hope that I can support you in this decision and make this step as simple and gratifying as possible. I work with families and adults to explore problems including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, codependence, grief/loss and many other challenges. Often these challenges stem from our beginnings and we will explore our past to be able to embrace our future. This can be an intimidating process. A safe and supportive environment can make this a very meaningful experience.

My therapeutic intervention is looking at the past as necessary in making changes for the future. I'm certain that any unwanted behavior can be unlocked by recognizing the purpose or wanted outcome for said behavior and my passion is helping you identify that unmet need and make healthy changes. I enjoy working with clients that are willing to do things outside of the therapeutic office setting such as writing, art, and/or practicing skills learned, and then reporting back in session the helpfulness of each strategy.

My ideal client is inspired to be curious together and work together to identify and remove blockages that prevent a life of clarity and abundance. Whether relationship issues, parenting challenges, grief, unresolved trauma, addiction, career matters, or even the most deeply-stuck moods (anxiety, depression, etc.), we all possess within us the capacity to instinctively heal and thrive with sustained connection, vibrancy and aliveness. It’s likely a simple solution, in need of the right "non-pathological" and rigorously client-centered approach is all. My clients are empowered to reconnect with and regain trust in themselves.

My ideal clients are couples and individuals who are tired of suffering and want to make positive changes in their lives. My clients don't lay on the couch and vent, but rather are willing to roll their sleeves up and work hard to feel better and change. If you have trauma, we will get to the root of it. No more avoidance. If you're in a relationship with poor communication, broken trust and little intimacy we will fix it. We will equalize the power between you both, and draw healthy boundaries individually, and as a couple.

Life is BUSY and it's hard to make YOU a priority. On top of that, life can be HARD. Maybe you're overwhelmed by a crisis, struggling with a major life change, or perhaps things just don't feel quite right. Let me help you take a step back to figure out where you'd like to be. We'll take time to build a relationship as we identify your goals. Change happens within the context of the therapeutic relationship, and only with trust and understanding can you take the risks to feel your best. I'll bring myself to the table - not "just" a professional, but a bit of humanity as we work toward your recovery.
