Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, LISW-S
I love my work, and I feel fortunate to walk beside people like you who want a better life. It's incredibly fulfilling to see someone come out of the confusion and into a life of awareness and meaning. I combine evidence-based practices of western psychotherapy, mindfulness meditation and yoga to help people develop greater peace so that they can turn toward difficult feelings and find their own inner truth.

Are you tired of just managing symptoms that always seem to return? Have you found yourself saying, “maybe I’m just chronically anxious”? Do you find yourself saying, I know this is true, but I still feel another way? I’m here to help you reclaim your identity and discover what a life worth living looks like for you! I believe in moving past managing symptoms and really understanding where these stem from. We do this by creating an individualized approach to counseling that makes sense to you, incorporating resources for temporary relief while digging into the root of these concerns to create real change.

The climate of our country has caused an increased number of people feeling overwhelmed, stressed, depressed, anxious and feelings of uncertainty. Battling those feelings can make you feel exhausted, irritable, and even want to give up. Instead of giving in to the very thing that is weighing you down, choose to focus on yourself and reestablish happiness.

Internally you are feeling a rollercoaster of emotions, and this imbalance is affecting your relationships, work life and overall sense of wellness. You notice your concentration is worse, patience is low, and irritability is high. You struggle with prioritizing yourself, communicating needs, setting boundaries and creating balance in your life. You know something must change, but nothing you’ve tried so far has worked long term. You feel that the next step is to reach out for support and form a relationship with someone that can assist you with healing, improving overall wellness and moving past these barriers to your ideal life.

Life is a journey full of unexpected twists and turns that can leave us feeling overwhelmed, confused, stressed, anxious, angry and hurt. It happens. Sometimes when we are faced with an unexpected event or tragedy or we just feel like we "aren't ourselves "and we just aren't sure who to talk to or what to do, therapy can help. I would like to be there to help you through the twists and turns.

Graduate Student Intern accepting new clients both in person and virtual visits. Being a holistic therapist means that I use a whole-person approach to address presenting concerns, identify individual strengths, and promote a higher quality of life. This happens through understanding and gathering insight on the many factors of a person's life that influence their well-being. I emphasize the mind-body connection in my approach to therapy. When we experience mental and emotional stress, trauma, or fatigue, our bodies are also affected, and vice versa. I emphasize the power of exercise, nature, and self-care in therapy.

Making the decision to begin therapy can be scary but can be the beginning of a unique healing and self-growth journey. The therapeutic process is special to each person as each person experiences life from a different lens. I desire to understand your personal experience and work together to determine what therapy techniques may work best for your personality, experience, and healing process. Therapy should be a place where you can rediscover and be your most authentic self. The work you do in this space may allow you to bring insight and compassion to your own life story.

My goal is to help make our sessions feel comfortable and safe to be able to explore what is needed.

Therapy is about the process of change: Your change. Whether you wish to manage a life challenge; improve your mental health; heal from trauma; or address addictive behaviors, my role is to assist you in your journey. Importantly, we establish a therapeutic relationship, which is one that you feel safe and thus able to open up about your concerns, inner experiences, and life situations. We will engage in treatment goal setting, guided by the problems and concerns you have, as well as your aspirations for change and growth.

I work with adults experiencing difficulties with a variety of behaviors that are holding them back from the lives they seek. These include protective behaviors like anger, anxiety, depression; numbing behaviors (alcohol or substance abuse.); distractions (goal-fixation, promiscuity, exercise, and others), and more. I work to help bring clarity and build safe connections within families, relationships at work, and elsewhere. I work to guide safe processing of grief, loss and loneliness. Together, we focus on you and your needs for emotional health.

I guide my clients to identify the emotions behind protective reaction. This improves their ability to recognize emotional needs, communicate more effectively, and begin leading a life within their conscious mind. Adversity and trauma can lead to chronic emotional deregulation, and through emotion focused therapy, DBT, mindfulness and psycho education I guide clients through the healing process. Attachment wounds and painful life experiences can lead to living in chronic protection mode. Through collaboration, compassion, and acceptance, I guide my clients to deeper connection; not only with others, but also with themselves.
