You might be someone who understands everything.
You can explain your patterns, you’ve read the books, maybe even tried therapy before. And still… something feels off. You feel stuck, disconnected, or like you’re living more in your head than in your life.
That’s usually where I meet people.
I’m an existential therapist, which means we slow things down and pay attention to what your experience actually feels like — not just what makes sense. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, self-aware, and used to holding a lot together, but internally feel anxious, overwhelmed, or alone in it.

At times, life can send us down a path that we never expected to be on. The unexpected can leave us feeling lost, isolated and hopeless. Whatever it is that started you down this path, know you do not have to walk alone. I use a collaborative approach to help clients move along this unexpected path and overcome challenges along the way. The true joy is seeing clients recognize that while this path isn't one, they would have set out on their own, there are truly beautiful steps taken on their journey to healing.

I provide a safe, comfortable, and supportive enviornment where I guide individuals and couples to help them overcome mental health and emotional issues to bring about a new level of awareness and change. This is done by identifying and understanding the underlying causes, changing destructive thought patterns, and behaviors. I am also a certified Thai Yoga therapist. I keep both practices separate in that I do not do psychotherapy with Thai Yoga clients or vice versa.

Have you ever gone through a rough patch in life and felt like you didn't know how to get out of it? Some of us struggle for long periods of time and feel that it's our fault or that no one would be able to understand how we feel. Maybe you live with a vague feeling that something's not right. Personal experience with psychotherapy is what turned me into a believer in its power to transform life. I had always felt that I wanted to help people but after my life was changed by experiencing therapy, I really felt that I wanted to pass this gift on to others.

You don’t feel like yourself these days. You find yourself overanalyzing every situation until you’ve thought of every scenario. You may feel like nothing you do is ever good enough. Maybe you say yes to things you don’t actually want to do, because that people pleaser inside of you can’t say no. Maybe you prevent yourself from finding happiness because you feel you don’t deserve it. You’re tired of feeling numb or empty. You want to feel like yourself again, but the thought of starting this process seems daunting. Afterall, you’re “fine”….or at least that’s what you tell yourself. Maybe it seems like things will never change.

The one thing I’d like people to know about this process is that it’s just a conversation. You don’t need to know anything, or bring anything. If you are uncomfortable with small-talk, leave it at home. My recommendation for first and all subsequent appointments:
“Come as you are."
Whether you are looking for a warm place to express yourself, a sounding board, structured education, trauma processing, or identity exploration, I work with you on what you need- even if you have no idea what that is right now. We will start with a brief phone call to meet voice-to-voice, and I can generally begin sessions within a week.

Adversities can rob you of peace and affect your ability to stay on life’s course. The distress experienced in today’s world can be associated with toxic stress, cycles of trauma, depression, grief, fear or experiences of racial and social injustices. The way you respond to life’s difficulties matters. True healing occurs when you give yourself permission to explore and face frightening or limiting beliefs that may live beneath emotions causing discomfort and pain.
