I use a variety of cognitive and sensory techniques to help clients break out of old patterns and cope with the stressors of life.

People have been telling you to "talk to someone" for a while. Even if you knew who to talk to you, you don't know what to say. Everybody seems to have an opinion about you, but nobody asks what you think. That trauma you don't want to talk about keeps you up at night. You're using substances and nobody knows. The littlest things seem to set you off and you end up saying or doing things you wish later you hadn't. Being a teenager is hard. Being a parent is much harder than you thought it would be. Your relationships seem to be on the brink. You feel alone and nobody really knows you. Something's got to change. But how?

Part of being human is the inevitability of encountering difficulty. Most of us accept this quite easily, but it is harder for us to accept *ourselves* while we face that difficulty! So many of our experiences in our families and our culture train us to ignore or get rid of our emotions, so space or compassion for ourselves seem next to impossible. Together and with mutual vulnerability and creativity, my heartfelt wish is to effectively nurture and challenge you, and to help you discover resources within and without to meet your experiences with strength, clarity, and hope.

For couples in coaching, I offer a neutral, active, empathetic third party who can observe and identify your dynamics and quickly help you make progress in your connection (building or rebuilding).
Being a person is hard af. That's the first thing to acknowledge when you consider reaching out for support; I promise you: everyone is struggling in some way or another, despite what their social media might suggest.
Sorting through your shit and figuring out what to toss and what to keep is a journey, and you may need different things at different times.
If you're at point where what you need is less "and how does that make you feel" and more "wow that sucks have you tried this other thing" - I might just be the right fit for you. I like people who want to really dig in and see what's underneath the layers you may be avoiding.

Have you ever asked yourself, "Is this it? Is this all there is for the rest of my life? What about me? This is not what I thought my life would look like at this point. I want more! But how do I get it? I'm not even sure what 'more' means, but I know something is missing in my life. I just want to feel fulfilled." If you are nodding along with this, you are not alone. Nearly every woman, whether she's 22 or 52, is saying the same thing: "I want more out of my life!"
