We love to collaborate with clients to help them draw from their own expertise, build on their own positive values, discover their own skills, and use these new tools to work through conflicts and hardships. We are systems therapist. What that means is: we like to approach problems that people have within the context of social, political and cultural storylines that influence the way we view ourselves and our own personal stories. We use this same approach in family therapy to seek ways to change the way the family system works rather than trying to "fix" a specific family member.

Life transitions and relationships can be both beautiful and difficult. Everyone deserves a safe space to share and explore their thoughts and feelings. Often through reflection, when we allow ourselves to slow down and notice what we are experiencing in the moment, true self discovery and capacity from within can be found and cultivated. With compassion and openness I walk along side my clients as they work towards relief and resolution. I utilize a blend of traditional therapy approaches along with experiential modalities such as Brainspotting, Mindfulness exercises, and Guided Visualizations to tailor the therapeutic experience.

As a Psychologist, I have the honor of working with individuals in their journeys of self-discovery, healing, renewal, and growth; journeys which, at times, have emerged out of periods of life crises & emotional upheaval. I offer individual, couples, and group psychotherapy, working with people navigating a range life transitions and challenges. I work compassionately and collaboratively with clients to explore, discover and overcome aspects of their lives that keep them from recognizing and meeting their full potential. This also involves recognizing and emphasizing clients' strengths, resilience, and assets they already embody.

Currently accepting new virtual clients! We all encounter challenges and setbacks in life. Therapy can support you in overcoming them while co-creating a life that you love. I approach therapy through a wellness lens to help you flourish, which means that instead of focusing solely on what's wrong, we pay attention to your strengths and ways that you can feel your best. As a trauma-informed therapist, I recognize that healing happens within the context of felt safety and connection so I strive to create a therapeutic space where you can show up as your whole and unique self. It is an honor to be there as a witness and guide.

Do you struggle with self-doubt and overthinking? Do you have a loud inner critic? Have you experienced a major loss? I help individuals gain clarity and feel empowered while navigating major life transitions (death of a loved one, new parents, empty nesters, job or relationship change, infertility, unexpected pregnancy, new health diagnosis). Through caring and purposeful sessions, you will find support, learn mindfulness techniques and thought management strategies that will help you get to know yourself better so that you can make difficult decisions and move forward in your life.

Is your substance use is getting out of hand? Do you feel like you can’t control your anxiety, worry, or fears? Or, are you tired of just existing and feeling like there’s no hope? Maybe you have experienced a traumatic event, are struggling to adjust to a life change, or have been using substances to cope. What if I told you there was hope, and there is another way to live? I have the tools to help you engage with your life, and the people in your life, in a more meaningful, authentic, and peace-filled manner.

Are you or a loved one feeling overwhelmed as a result of receiving a new medical diagnosis or living with a long-standing chronic condition? Is your physical health interfering with aspects of your daily life and causing stress and emotional turmoil? As a Health Psychologist, I understand the importance of tending to both the body and the mind. I will support you in learning new tools for coping with your health challenges, making changes in your health habits, adjusting to a "new normal" after a life changing health event, and managing your physical and emotional symptoms that detract from daily life.
