Sooner or later life brings us challenges that feel overwhelming. And yet, many of us find it difficult to seek support. If this is you, I can help. My clinical approach is grounded in a commitment to help you to reduce the suffering you are experiencing.
Adult life can be very stressful and finding a way to balance work, money, children, relationships, and past trauma without a loss of physical and emotional well-being is not easy. I work holistically to help you to restore the mind, body, and spirit connection.

I believe therapy is a place where you can show up just as you are — to be seen, heard, and understood. When you feel safe enough to explore even the darker or more difficult places within, real change can happen. Many people seek therapy during times of transition or when they feel a deeper calling for growth and healing. Therapy offers a supportive space to slow down, breathe, and share your story without judgment. It’s a chance to uncover patterns that may no longer serve you and discover new ways to move forward with greater ease.

Pajama Forward Therapist here! If white knuckling, self shaming, and pulling yourself up by your bootstraps worked, you’d be “cured” a billion times over. It doesn’t. At least not for me or people whose brains are different. Our minds race and it feels impossible to turn off and rest. Sometimes we use substances or other behaviors in a harmful way just to get through the day. There’s more to life out there. A more peaceful and meaningful life is possible. We need to go deeper and get to the root of things. I’ll go with you. Unable to take insurance.

Within a warm, down-to-earth, depth oriented approach, I work from a contemporary psychoanalytic and Jungian perspective, with an emphasis on the transformative potential of the therapeutic relationship. Together, we may explore recurring patterns, emotional impasses, bodily experiences, and the underlying forces that contribute to feelings of disappointment, loss, frustration or anxiety. My practice often focuses on life transitions, grief, loss, anxiety, and depression, with particular interest in the treatment of traumatic and dissociative states, chronic physical concerns, and processes of psychic maturation and growth.

I work well with clients who are motivated to change their lives. Often, our greatest challenges come during times of major life transitions. Through active listening and genuine empathy, I help my clients focus upon the inherent solutions to their most pressing problems. Motivation to change comes with the willingness to look closely and investigate the stories we tell ourselves. Often I discover with my clients that their oldest and most damaging internal stories are simply not true. By having a fellow human who is open and fully present witness our lives, we can discover the very real possibility for greater health and happiness.

Chaos is merely order waiting to be deciphered, wrote the late, great writer José Saramago. In my practice, I work in communion with my clients to assist in interpreting their own personal chaos. The desire to be heard and understood is a fundamental need, one that can lead to better self-understanding, paving the path toward positive change. My goal as a licensed therapist is to offer a safe, non-judgmental space for my client to express the most troubling aspects of their daily life.
