Here’s the thing: you are much more magnificent and brilliant than you ever thought possible! You may just need guidance & support to go inward and discover this truth. You may have already gone to therapy and still find yourself stuck in patterns of victimhood, scarcity, unworthiness, disempowerment, shame, anxiety, depression, and fear, just to name a few. Do you still get caught up in your old habits and stories, which causes suffering for you and those you love? Do you have anxiety and fear around stepping into your power and dream life?

All humans are equipped with the capacity for healing and transformation. I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to embrace this process and create a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling. Yet, so often, we find ourselves feeling disconnected, stuck, or overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or other challenges. As a clinician, I am deeply passionate about helping individuals break free from these patterns and rediscover their innate potential. It is an honor to walk alongside my clients as they uncover deeper meaning, heal from within, and move toward a more authentic and vibrant version of themselves.

As a therapist, I specialize in LGBTQ+ issues, trauma care, and caregiver fatigue. My work with LGBTQ+ clients focuses on creating a safe, affirming space where they can explore their identities and confront societal challenges. I believe in validating experiences and providing tools for resilience. In trauma care, I use evidence-based approaches to help clients process their pasts, fostering healing and empowerment. For caregivers, I understand the exhaustion that comes with supporting others, offering strategies for self-care and boundary-setting. My goal is to support each client on their journey toward healing.

Are you haunted by the past? Do upsetting memories interfere with your present-day experiences? Maybe you instinctively know that you over-react to situations that trigger intense feelings from your past. You just want to forget about it and move on. However, your emotional over-reactivity has been impacting your relationships, your job, and your overall sense of well-being. Perhaps you have avoided therapy because you don't think talking about it will help. If this is your story, then I can help. The models of therapy I use do not require you to talk about your upsetting memory. You get to decide what to share if anything at all.

If you’re a sensitive soul like me, just living in the world can feel overwhelming. Maybe you’re constantly worrying about the people you love, or intensely affected by their hardships - spending time and energy thinking about how you can best support them. Maybe you find yourself wading through grief or fear about all that surrounds you. Or maybe just the opposite - you’re numb, checked out and disconnected from the people around you, just moving through your days on autopilot. Maybe you can hardly remember a time when you felt connection, joy, fun or the excitement of possibility.

With the weight of societal norms and the harsh or unreachable expectations we place on ourselves, we can begin to feel hopeless. The heaviness that we feel can create distance from the ones we love and impact how we see ourselves and how we fit into this world. It can be so exhausting. I don’t claim to have all the answers, but what I do know is that we don’t have to suffer alone. The goal for the people I work with, is to guide them towards a life that resides outside of expectations or upbringing. With this, you can begin to see a path forward that is authentic to you and live a life full of meaning and freedom.

Like many therapists, I’m equipped with the tools to help others largely because of my own suffering. I was lost, looking for guidance, and tried many forms of therapy, finding most to be superficial. I felt like I was offered band-aids for the bleeding when I wanted to cauterize the wound. I didn’t want coping skills for my depression, I wanted to know why I was depressed so that I could DO something about it. I wanted real change. I finally got what I asked for, and my life turned upside-down when I discovered Jungian therapy.

Most of my clients are stressed and often feel overwhelmed by life and the circumstances they find themselves in. Some are feeling stuck and stagnating while others feel like changes are happening quicker than they can keep up with. Relationships, jobs, or family are often at the center of why they may feel anxious or depressed. Regardless of why, you are here, reading my profile, and likely ready for a change. Many of my clients feel this way when they reach out. Most of my clients are aged mid-20s through their 50s and are seeking to cope with relationships, careers, alcohol or substance use, or other stressors of being an adult.

Hello, Thank you for visiting my page. I have worked with people who have experienced trauma, depression, unresolved grief, addiction, anxiety, loss, and life transitions. I work collaboratively with my clients, while being supportive and dedicated to their increased well being. My approach to therapy is to be genuine, open, honest, supportive, and curious. I view psychotherapy as a framework for identifying, understanding, and working through problems that cause people to feel stuck, helpless or insecure about their lives. Ultimately, I consider the goal of psychotherapy as empowering others to reach aspired levels of purpose.

I connect easily with clients to feel lighter and clearer in their minds, body, and Spirit. I work with people with stressful careers in medicine, law, finance, and small businesses. Knowing the necessity of keeping a clear head and calm body, yet have been struggling with heartbreak, anxiety, fears, loss and grief that has created overwhelming stress and expectations that limits functioning. It is a challenging balancing act with career, family, relationships, along with finding some quiet time to relax. I help you master these challenges with a very confidential, (no insurance or electronic records) safe, and caring environment.

I am a 20 year private practice therapist specializing in women and older adolescent females. I take an active and challenging therapeutic approach. I meld traditional psychological approaches, life coaching modalities, and trauma work to tap into the small and large ways traumas, significant events and historic negative beliefs about yourself may be holding you back. Therapy does NOT need to last for years if you have an experienced and passionate clinician who has seen what has worked after working with 1000's of clients. I have developed techniques and approaches that are effective. We will move the dial on day 1!
