People who have had painful past experiences often feel stuck or as if they are not really living their life. Sometimes that painful past suddenly rears its head in the present. Other times there is a feeling that the past has never really let them go. You may be experiencing panic, racing heartbeat, or the urge to escape. The world that you once knew may no longer make sense to you. You may have difficulty ever feeling safe or cared for. Relationships can feel fragile, illusory, or temporary. And you may be spontaneously re-experiencing those painful past events while asleep or awake.

Acceptance, empathy, and respect are the core values I live by and believe necessary when establishing a safe space while walking through the challenges you are experiencing. I get it, it is hard taking the first step to seek help. You may have been going through some difficult situations for a long time, but it does not have to remain that way. I believe you are the expert of your life and I honor that by providing a sacred space for you to process your thoughts and feelings. Together, we can discover your natural ability that fosters the change you seek.

I bring over a decade of experience to my practice, where I work with a wide range of struggles. I bring special expertise to self-image issues, trauma, and grief. As a holistic practitioner, I don’t limit my focus to treating symptoms or replacing behaviors. I work with body, spirit, heart, and gut, offering a space where you can step into a transformed relationship with yourself. My primary clinical influences are Gestalt therapy, Buddhist/mindfulness-based therapy, EMDR, and humanistic therapy. I've trained in many other approaches and am always interested in your thoughts about what kind of approach feels best.

You’re always exhausted. The alarm clock buzzes, and you struggle to open your eyes. The blanket feels like it’s made of lead as you attempt to get out of bed. It’s the same every morning, and things only worsen from there. You sleepwalk through each day in a thick, hazy fog. You’re not fully present, but you go through the motions because you’re supposed to. It’s getting difficult to remember a time when you actually felt good, and you can’t imagine ever feeling happy again. You've tried fixing your problems, but no solution lasts for long. You know that something needs to change, but you don’t know how. It feels hopeless!

We live in a world that constantly tells women who they should be, shaping expectations around family, career & identity while political shifts & systemic barriers add even more uncertainty. These deeply personal experiences should be met with choice, autonomy & support but too often, they’re dismissed, leaving many to navigate them in silence. I work with women navigating the complexities of their lived experiences, trauma & identity especially those carrying the compounded weight of reproductive choices, intergenerational expectations, systemic oppression & hormonal health concerns.

You aren’t quite sure when life became so overwhelming, but the memories of past events, the feelings of a racing heart, and the constant panic are leaving you feeling hopeless and desperate for a solution. After the stress of a big transition or difficult, life-changing event, you aren’t sure how to cope. You miss feeling connected to yourself and others.

Let’s sit down together and start changing your narrative to reflect the best version of you. Our work together will consist of identifying thought and behavior patterns that no longer serve you well. During our sessions, we can begin to help you identify positive thoughts, emotions, behaviors that best fit with your goals. My approach to treatment is centered around the needs of each individual I work with. I will often check in with clients I work with to ensure the approach I am using is effective and assisting with meeting the goals.

Life's demands, painful experiences of disappointment, shame, guilt, anger and sadness, feeling overlooked due to the pressure of pleasing others, and the constant push to put ourselves aside can make it difficult to see our value, obscuring the clarity we need to live purposefully. We become driven by obligations, fear, others opinions, expectations, rarely pausing to truly see ourselves or process our emotions from it all. This often leads to a sense of disconnection and a feeling of living without true direction.

Are your kiddos having a hard time regulating their emotions? having frequent tantrums out in public? fighting with others? struggling with life transitions such as starting at a new school or having a new sibling in the home? Constantly worrying? Or just not acting like their usual happy selves? If you answered YES, then play therapy may be the answer to getting your child on the right path. Play Therapy is a great modality for kids and teens because its age appropriate, since many kids don't know how to communicate their emotions using words in the same way adults do. Play therapy can be adjusted to fit persons of any age.
