You're struggling to understand what's wrong, and life feels out of control or meaningless. You tried therapy before but it left you feeling dry. Something still isn't working, and what motivated you before doesn't make sense the way that is used to. Accomplishing success ultimately brings its own problems, and now that you're here, you just can't seem to find the drive that you had before. It's like you're doing everything right, yet nothing is improving. You've read endless articles about mental health, sleep hygiene, and other topics, but still can't quite seem to find the change you're looking for.

Something crazy or intense happened. Maybe you know what it was or maybe you don't. Maybe it's still happening. Or maybe something has always felt a bit off or harder than seems necessary. Or maybe you just feel stuck. I would be happy to walk the path with you of finding ways to resolve, rebuild, and renegotiate how you respond to situations, people, and yourself. I am trained in many body- and nervous system-based modalities, such as Somatic Experiencing, NARM, BASE, co-regulating touch, Brainspotting, NLP, Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), & EMDR. I also work with couples learning how to communicate better.

The struggle in life can get real, sometimes more often than we like. Maybe you are struggling with feeling stressed, isolated, hopeless, anxious, lost or unmotivated. It could be that life has become misaligned and you are ready to address your substance use whether it be alcohol and/or other drugs. Maybe you are the primary caregiver for your aging parent or grandparent, and the physical and emotional challenges have become too overwhelming. You are the expert in your life. I will encourage you to be creatively brave as we navigate and discover ways to strengthen your self-esteem, relationships and coping skills.

Rumi wrote, “Don’t turn away. Keep your gaze on the bandaged place. That’s where the light enters you.” We spend a lot of time running from our pain, trying to drown it out or stuff it down with distractions--work, relationships, media, alcohol. When we stop running, stop hiding, we are able to face our pain head on. Only then, are we able to be fully present and aware, which is the first step to acceptance and later, transformation. Partnering with a therapist can make this feel less daunting. I can teach you skills to manage your emotions so that they won’t overwhelm you. Together, we can help you find where the light enters you.

I have been providing individual, couples, and family therapy for over 35 years. Areas of specialty in my clinical practice include couple/family relational issues, anxiety, depression, stress and health, life transitions, and work systems issues. Anxiety may interfere with a person's ability to think clearly at times of stress or crisis and may impede their finding a course of action. Through the initial assessment phase and as therapy progresses, the ability to think more calmly and objectively about a problem can return. A person may then more effectively address the inevitable challenges in relationships and in life.

I walk alongside my clients during these arduous times, whether it’s for a brief moment or a longer period. I consider it the highest honor to hear and hold my clients’ stories. I'm currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Christian Counseling from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary.

I work with adults from diverse backgrounds, especially in times of transition and uncertainty. My approach is relational, depth oriented and mind-body-Spirit focused. I draw from psychoanalytic theory, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and somatic therapies. In sessions we work with emotions, thoughts, body sensations, dreams and free associations to explore both conscious and unconscious material. I pay special attention to what is happening in the present moment of the sessions, while honoring the impact of important relationships, life circumstances and ancestral history.

I see my job as supporting people in stepping into lives of consciousness, authenticity, meaning, and joy - whatever that looks like for each particular person. My focus is primarily with people who are dealing with grief, addiction / recovery, and/or aging, although many of my clients are outside these particular categories but yet are longing for a deeper life. To get there, healing has to happen first. Trauma needs to be addressed. Beliefs, communication styles, and relationship patterns that are limiting need to be considered and reformulated. Stressors and anxiety needs to be managed. This is the path we travel together.

The experience of engaging with a therapist for the first time or re-engaging after a pause can feel foreign, intimidating, and uncertain. I aim to meet clients exactly where they are with a warm, comforting approach that eases them in at a pace that they set, while making sure the time together feels rewarding, fulfilling, occasionally challenging, and well-spent. I enjoy walking alongside clients on their journeys of successes and struggles, transitions and decisions. I am excited to have some space open in my practice to welcome new clients. Feel free to reach out by email, text message, or phone call to explore next steps.

My hope is, the therapeutic "space" we create can become generous enough to invite our combined intelligences and curiosity to move toward a kind attending to your deep mysteries, desires, conflicts, motivations, (helpful and unhelpful) patterns, felt senses, griefs, losses, traumas and limitations. I hope this work might help you find the ground in difficulty and heartache, as well as empower you to build a life (within and externally) (within the confines of reality) that feels more genuine, connected, courageous, creative and even, sometimes, joyful.

For over 13 years, I have dedicated myself to supporting people of all ages through a range of stressors, including anxiety, depression, tense family dynamics, grief, chronic illness, and life transitions. In this work, I’ve seen firsthand the tremendous pressures individuals face to appear “okay” and the self-blame that often comes from not meeting unrealistic societal expectations. These experiences have deepened my passion for helping those who are entering parenthood, raising young children, caregiving, redefining roles and boundaries in relationships, and navigating the complexities of grief and loss.
