People often say, I don't know why I do that, referring to an unfavorable behavior. This is evidence of our unconscious. We are all products of our earliest emotional conditioning. That is fine, if your parents were wonderful, loving, and understanding. For the majority of people, there was some form of negligence and/or dysfunction that occurred due to the complexities of child rearing. We tend to push away what is good for us and seek what is familiar. Unconsciously, we will repeat negative relationship patterns unless addressed.
We all are deserving and able to be the best version of ourselves.

Therapy is not one-size-fits-all, and needs to be a good fit for both the client and therapist in order for meaningful work to take place. My approach is empathetic, collaborative, and eclectic – but most of all, personalized to the individual client’s needs. I approach my clients from a non-judgmental standpoint and aim to make each one feel comfortable and safe, as therapy is often the one space a person has that is truly only for them. My goal is to create an environment where my client feels seen, heard, and understood. Together, we will identify problems, create goals, cultivate understanding, and move towards healing.

I believe that the therapeutic journey is one that begins with stepping out of one's comfort zone and welcoming change. I make diligent efforts to create a safe space for my clients to openly talk about vulnerable issues. I work hard to build a strong alliance with my clients as well as a space that reflects my nonjudgmental and supportive stance. I specialize in working with pre-teens, teens, and adults who struggle with anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts, trauma/ PTSD, adjustment issues, and self-esteem problems. I also provide therapy for challenges that relate to family conflict and divorce.

Are there major challenges with relationships, substance use, loss, work or past trauma? Are your best efforts to avoid suffering keeping you "stuck" on the same path? Are you struggling with feeling you have become someone else's version of you?

I specialize in working with neurodivergent folks who were diagnosed later in life and have experienced invalidation trauma in childhood which led to Big "T" traumas. I know that you are doing the best can at all times, sometimes that means checking off all of the things on the to-do list, and other times, that means stumbling out of bed only to use the bathroom. Let me assist you in reconnecting to their needs, preferences, opinions, and desires to live their most authentic life. We will connect in a safe space for you to heal from your past and live the life you deserve.
