All people seeking therapy should be met with compassion and empathy in a safe and non-judgemental space.

I work with clients of all ages who are struggling with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, alcohol and/or substance use disorders, ADHD, trauma, identity, relationship problems, and life transitions.

It would be an honor to join you on your journey towards a happier, healthier life.

I help high-achieving women connect with their vitality, happiness and joy by guiding them to release old trauma and painful emotions that are keeping them stuck. My technique is based in creative arts therapy and trauma-informed care that include a playful, holistic approach to healing that leads to a sense of safety and comfort in your own skin. I also love working with couples who want to deepen their intimacy and connection, improve communication and learn how to play together as a team. Couples therapy will help strengthen your bond and set you up for a harmonious and successful long lasting relationship.

Regardless of the individuals and families particular difficulties, two things have struck me time after time in my work with them. First, is the rightness of their 'symptoms.' If I listen close enough and with enough openness to learn the language of their 'symptoms,' that which, at the onset, seems to have an its own private mind boggling logic, makes a great deal of sense. Second, was the level of determination and creativity people attempt to resolve said difficulties ... a determination and creativeness I attempt to match and respect during my time in their lives.

Life is challenging. Sometimes those challenges can seem daunting. If you are seeking a path beyond what you can see today, there is hope. Together we will take the journey and find a better, healthier, and more satisfactory way forward.

Our society is built around what we should or shouldn’t be/do/have to feel worthy or valuable. We all get stuck, lost, hurt, or overwhelmed and we all need extra support, better tools, or a new perspective. As a clinician, we'll work collaboratively to uncover what matters most to you: what you truly know, need, and want. Practical, optimistic, and creative, I support well-being in all areas of life while discerning patterns and connections across thoughts, feelings, and actions so you have the agency and awareness to choose who and how you want to be.

As experiences impact our lives, we shift and change accordingly. Trying to make sense of these experiences alone can be painful. Together we can develop ways for you experience more fulfillment in your relationships, your work, your emotional life, and your creative life. We can work towards a better understanding of how the past has shaped you and focus on healing, self-discovery, and growth. Therapy is a collaborative and creative process, and I believe problem solving and self-discovery is best approached by developing original, constructive, and productive approaches to the questions raised by life's struggles.

Perhaps you have the things you always thought would bring you happiness, such as family, friends, and a good job, but you still feel like something is missing; that you are not as happy as you “should be.” Life can be challenging at times, resulting in feelings of sadness, anxiety, and stress. We can start to feel like we have lost control of our lives, or that we do not have the power to make positive changes. Genuine happiness feels out of reach, leaving us with a sense of emptiness or lack of social connection. Tackling these issues can be scary, leaving us feeling vulnerable and exposed.

My ideal client is ready to challenge themselves to do the work and is tired of feeling stuck or on autopilot. You may have long struggled with focus, sticking to a plan, anxiety, or follow-through. You may find you're still living your life according to your upbringing, rather than in the present. As a result, you may feel overwhelmed, depressed, like you've wasted time, or have no control. I enjoy helping people through life transitions. I also have expertise working with people in startups and technology fields, decision making, and adult ADHD. If you are ready to make some changes, but need a partner, consider reaching out.
