If worry is stealing your sleep, your moods swing fast, or Sundays bring a heavy pit in your stomach, I can help. Keeping up at work, showing up at home, and dealing with personal issues without proper support is too much for anyone. And juggling daily tasks, managing relationships, and trying to stay afloat, all while carrying the heavy weight of worry or sadness is completely overwhelming. I work mostly with adults stuck in loops of anxiety, low mood, grief, or that have relationship strain or big life changes that won’t settle down. I believe things can get better, and that I can help you, or I wouldn't be doing this work.

The state of our relationships has a major impact on our general wellbeing. If you're feeling disconnected from yourself or the people in your life, and feeling powerless to make a change, therapy may be a part of your path forward. I may be a good fit for you if you are interested in therapy that: feels warm and affirming, yet holds you accountable for personal change; acknowledges larger problematic systems; includes both the mind and the body; is sex-positive; is trauma-informed; includes heart and humor. It is never too late to shift the experience you're having in life.

It can feel like you’re taking three steps forward only to fall ten steps back. You’re tired of pushing through and always holding everything together. Maybe you’re the strong one in your family or the dependable one at work, but inside the pressure is becoming harder to hide. You may feel on edge, disconnected, overwhelmed, or weighed down by experiences that refuse to stay in the past. I work especially well with: High-functioning adults who feel overwhelmed or burnt out; Survivors of sexual assault, military trauma, childhood trauma, or racialized stress; First-generation and bicultural individuals balancing multiple roles
