NEW Virtual Group: https://bit.ly/mindfulpathgroup. Things feel like they are always your fault, like something is wrong with you–you are flawed, broken, and it seems things will never be good for you in life. How much longer can you keep going like this? Emotions are stronger for you than other people and you can't seem to get what you want or make anyone happy, no matter how hard you try. Some days you have to stop caring just to go on with life. You are tired of screwing up your relationships, losing friends, and people asking "Why are you acting like that?" Be different, act different, feel different – if only it were that easy!

Pathway to peace. Hope and change. Possibility and potential. These are just a few of the words I think of when describing therapy. As a seasoned professional I've guided countless people out of confusion and despair and back into a place of strength and empowerment. My ultimate goal with everyone is to increase their understanding of themselves. I do this by teaching you how to notice information that is currently being missed. Or you notice it, but don't know what do to about it. I place an emphasis on the “Now what?” phase of therapy that shifts the focus from an intellectual understanding to the application of the material.

I am passionate about helping women cope with everyday stress caused by a variety of sources. If you’re feeling overwhelmed and don’t know where to start, I can help. I believe in helping women achieve a positive relationship with themselves so they feel whole, heard, and happy in life. Some of the issues and life areas I can help you resolve include going through divorce/relationship ending, eating disorders, sexual assault/trauma, work life balance, professional development, depression and anxiety, as well as other mood disorders, sensory processing disorders (including highly sensitive individuals), life transitions, grief/loss.

I work with adults facing a variety of challenges who desire to make meaningful changes in the ways they understand and work with emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and relationships. I draw from psychodynamic and existential perspectives and use an empathic, relationship-based approach to tailor our therapy process to your unique needs, circumstances, and goals. By looking together intensively at the historic roots of problems, insights can develop into ways that old solutions get perpetuated in the present and new possibilities for more satisfying ways of being can emerge.
