Life can be a challenging process. You don't have to tackle life's problems alone. Sometimes we need some extra help to be the best version of ourselves. The process begins by identifying barriers that are blocking us from achieving our desired goals. Life is an ongoing journey.

Life can be overwhelming at times and hard to manage. In therapy with me, together we will work to cope and work through areas that bring you distress. Feedback I have received from individuals who have entered into therapy with me, is that they felt I was not “a robot” & felt comfortable due to my warm and relatable approach. I have assisted individuals discover & create boundaries, healing from trauma, & overcome daily obstacles such as anxiety attacks and depressive feelings. I have helped couples successfully confront their issues, build communication skills, and understand the dynamics of their relationship more clearly.

For everyone, life has challenges, and sometimes those challenges can cause us great pain and suffering. When you find you are having difficulty with feelings or relationships, and that you need someone to help you, therapy can be a powerful tool for finding relief from your suffering. One of the most important parts of therapy is the relationship between the therapist and the client.

I am set up for telepsych meetings. I am an experienced therapist who works with adults. I have a specialty in family and interpersonal relation problems. Persistent negative experiences can cascade anyone into emotional difficulty that feels overwhelming. My style listens to your personal experiences, helps you find ways create new experiences and communicate effectively where needed. Feeling supported, heard and validated are profoundly empowering and if not present in your current relationships is extremely emotionally painful and destructive. Goals:Courage to define your own integrity, recreate yourself and overcome.

I'm passionate about helping people navigate conflict and cultivate healthy relationships. I want to learn about your experiences, support you in creating meaning, building compassionate connections, and moving toward wellness. This leads to healing and a more congruent life. I have extensive experience working with couples /partners, and individuals who seek therapy for relationship conflicts, LGBTQIA+ experiences, trauma, divorce, trust issues, and life transitions. You don't have to go it alone.

Any individual, couple, or family making the decision to embark on therapy has made a brave step toward growth and change. Once rapport and safety is established, giving the self permission to be raw and vulnerable is what I strive for with clients. Feeling safe to explore discomfort and navigating different means of communication is at the heart of my work. The approach of curious exploration and demystification helps the individuals, couples and families that I work with resolve stressors related to anxiety, depression, grief, relational issues, work and academic influences, family dynamics, and LGBTQ issues.

Whatever the path may be that brought you here, I am ready to listen with an open mind. People come to therapy for a variety of reasons. I am here to help whether it is navigating through discontentment in your life, struggles within relationships, transitioning careers, seeking balance, or ways to manage everyday stress. Collaboratively, we will work towards balance, improving your overall capacity to lead a successful, productive, happy life. Recognizing that it can be difficult to make time for yourself, would you like to talk to someone virtually wherever it is convenient and comfortable for you?

An eclectic approach is utilized to fit the specific needs of the client.

It's time to end the cycle of overthinking and its hold over you. If your here, I am assuming you are exhausted, stressed or overwhelmed with the repeated thoughts in your head. You're tired of second guessing. You're overthinking about the process of therapy as we speak. You're hoping to find the magical fix to ceasing the daily, excessive and daunting anxiety that you feel no one truly understands. Do you have a hard time slowing down the hamster wheel of thoughts once the cycle begins? Maybe even your thoughts have been so powerful they have created self-doubt or impacted your relationship with others. Are we getting close?

Are you looking to heal? To change? To accept challenges and cope with grace? Become more well balanced, enjoy life and relationships more, flourish in your chosen path? I welcome individuals and families coping with issues of aging such as chronic/progressive illness, pain, and cognitive changes; as well as those with trauma, ambiguous loss and disenfranchised grief; stress, depression and anxiety. I will be a witness, a listener, a partner and a guide as you use self-awareness, self-compassion, wisdom and intentionality to learn and cope with the practical and emotional tasks and challenges of your life with heart, mind and soul.
