Therapy is the experience of reflecting on our stories, finding authorship in them, and making edits along the way. You deserve a space to feel heard and to share those stories without judgment, reclaim the power in those stories, and to allow yourself space to heal. As a therapist, I provide a compassionate, playful space for clients wanting to understand the impacts of their relationships, navigating stressors and life changes, and exploring trauma (including sexual abuse). My aim is to create a comfortable space where you can allow yourself to be vulnerable and unapologetically yourself.

I work with adults, adolescents, and children. Often, as adults, we find ourselves stuck. You keep trying, yet things aren’t getting better. Usually, this means you have developed a self-limiting belief. Let’s talk. Together we can identify the root of the issue, develop new core beliefs, and create a plan to develop a more fulfilling life. Children and adolescents need a safe space and a person that accepts them for who they truly are, so they can express themselves openly. I focus on helping them see their true worth to enhance their growth and development, while teaching them skills to express emotions and cope with stressors.

Everyone has a story to tell. Sometimes it is filled with dark twists and turns, shadows, and the unexpected. Other times it is full of light, gentle breezes, and warmth. Stories are often full of both and it can be daunting to try and revisit some of the harder chapters alone. I offer a place of solace for your stories. A place where we can open and read each chapter of it together, learn from them, and gather tools to face the battles ahead. A place where we can challenge the things that still haunt us from these stories, and then put them on a shelf, a reminder of where you came from and what you’ve overcome.

Breast cancer and other cancer survivorship are also areas of specialty. Together we co-construct an approach that fits your needs, balancing the practical with exploratory.

I was a traditional therapist for a decade; I now offer life & relationship coaching. It suits me to be so much more free & authentic! Coaching focuses on solving the current problems in your life; clients typically report feeling better after just a few sessions. Sometimes after just one! BUT it's not appropriate for everyone; I can't treat trauma or mood disorders. Coaching assumes you've done your therapy work already. If you're specifically looking for practical support for life, relationships, or work, check me out. You can easily book yourself on my calendar if it feels like a good fit, and I offer equitable fee options.
