The world we live in is often chaotic, demanding, and oppressive. It requires so much of us - our time, our labor, our money - and for many of us the psychological and relational cost is high. Perhaps you are feeling isolated from community, stretched thin with responsibilities, anxious with the state of the world, or dealing with trauma wounds that haunt you and impact your relationships. Together we can dig at the root of what you feel, leading with curiosity and compassion as we do transformative work. Your inner and outer world are equally important and deserve our time and attention.

If you are anything like me, you know that life is not only hard, it can sometimes feel impossible. Fortunately, counseling can be both a refuge and a catalyst for life-changing growth. I believe there’s something mysterious within all of us that already knows what we need and how to get there - sometimes we just need support in figuring out what’s getting in the way. There is no world where I am an expert on you, but I am an expert in feeling pretty miserable. And it’s from my own struggles as a complex human that I am able to be a passionately knowledgeable and creative resource for you.

With mindfulness as the cornerstone of my practice, I draw from a variety of third-wave cognitive behavioral therapies including ACT, DBT, RO-DBT, and Compassion-Focused Therapy.
I'm an individual therapist with 20 years of experience working with survivors of childhood abuse, trauma, and intimate partner violence. I also have advanced training in the treatment of anxiety disorders and OCD, perfectionism, and burnout. I particularly enjoy working with other helping professionals to navigate concerns around work-life balance and vicarious trauma/compassion fatigue. Many of the individuals I work with also identify as having some form of neurodivergence.

You are overwhelmed, overthinking everything, and overfunctioning just to keep things afloat. You are the one everyone relies on, but you are exhausted. You have gotten used to carrying everything for everyone, and if we are being honest, it is costing you your peace, your energy, and often yourself.
If this sounds familiar, it is because I hear it all the time. It reflects the lived experiences of most of the clients I work with. In our sessions, we won't just talk about what is happening. We'll get honest about what's driving it and we work to change it.
