I believe we all share the need to be deeply understood, especially during difficult or challenging times. I appreciate the courage clients show when they share stories of their lives. Without fail, I find these stories layered, complex, unique and moving. I admire clients who dare to share life stories that are "works-in-progress" -- messy, drafty, tentative. Stories with icky parts (that's a technical term!)... or tender parts...or broken parts... or out-dated parts. Stories with gaps -- spaces -- where yet-to-be-written parts will go. .I believe this process leads to healing and transformation.

Healing from trauma shouldn’t feel like another battle! Many of my clients feel overwhelmed by medical trauma, assaults, abuse, chronic stress, grief, or generational adversity. They often struggle with anxiety, panic, or feeling “stuck,” even after trying therapy before. I know how frustrating it is when people say to “just think positive” or force a new perspective when some things just are what they are, so I help clients move toward acceptance in a way that doesn’t feel invalidating. Together, we can build flexibility in the face of challenges and refocus on what truly matters!

Perhaps you're going through a transition or quarter life crisis and trying to cope with hard things that have happened in your life. You have tried everything you can think of to try to feel better and it is just not working. Are you overwhelmed and feeling stuck? Does your mind race? Are anxiety and sadness causing you to lose sleep and feel unmotivated? You may be saying to yourself "something has to change" but feel unsure of what to do. Some days you find it hard to function. Your relationships may suffer. And you long for healthier ways to cope with life.

Emotions can really suck. Due to our individual histories, we develop means to reduce intense emotional experiences that have been inexplicitly linked to anxiety. This can lead to behaviors and means of relating that lead to perpetual anxiety and destructive relationships with ourselves and others. In therapy, we can work together to recognize unconscious patterns and resolve unconscious emotional conflicts; the goal is an increase in happiness and quality of life.

Do you often feel overwhelmed? Are you constantly worrying about the “what-ifs” and the future? Are you struggling to establish healthy boundaries with the people you care about? Are you ever afraid to be the “real you" around others? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you are not alone. Whether you are experiencing everyday life stressors or have experienced past trauma and hardships, garnering support can be a helpful place to start. If the idea of therapy has crossed your mind, then there is at least a part of you that is curious about what life could be like and the possibility of change.

Find peace from within. That's my motto when working with clients and walking beside them during the most difficult moments in life. Life is often unfair and terrible things happen to us. However, we are still responsible for remedying these situations and creating our own happiness. I believe that you are capable of achieving inner peace and calm through processing your experiences and receiving honest empathy and feedback. I am here to help you take control of your life. Taking control of your life might mean making difficult decisions such as cutting out unhealthy thoughts, behaviors, and even people.

You are the expert of your own experience and know best what supports you and what may no longer be serving you. In our work together, I will seek to highlight and validate how the social environment and systems have impacted your relationship with yourself and others, and to use the therapy space as an opportunity to dismantle hierarchies. To do this, I use an integrated, person-centered psychodynamic approach grounded in compassion.

“Am I capable of overcoming this?” is a question those struggling with anxiety or grief may ask. You feel exhausted from carrying the weight of the world and cannot pull yourself out of the gravitational pull of habits, coping skills, or relationships that add more weight. If struggling with anxiety, this may be a familiar dance you wish to stop, or if dealing with grief related to the loss of a loved one, this may be a new dance you wish never started. Whichever is you, no wonder it seems impossible to overcome these obstacles continually thrown your way, yet there is a possibility – and I am here to support you in that discovery.
