Lately -and more often than you'd like to admit- it feels like you're about to break. You're used to managing ALL of the moving parts: school, the house, kids- all on top of your high stress job and normally you're fine, in fact you kinda love the pressure of all the things!
But right now? Everything feels tenuous - maybe it's a relationship that's no longer a place of refuge, or your anxiety about the world is through the roof or you're feeling more scattered than normal - whatever it is you know you hate it and you don't know how to get back to feeling in control. I can help you figure out what's going on.

Life can feel heavy when familiar patterns keep showing up. Overthinking, people-pleasing, or self-doubt might seem like insignificant passing thoughts in the moment, but they leave a big impact. You may be finding that anxiety, stress, or past experiences are making it hard to feel grounded, confident, or connected in relationships, work, or daily life. It can feel frustrating when old thought processes keep resurfacing, leaving you drained or uncertain. You want clarity, balance, and the confidence to navigate challenges and show up as your authentic self - cultivating a deeper sense of peace, connection, and purpose.

Feeling overwhelmed–personally, emotionally or relationally–can wear us down and leave us feeling stuck. And especially when you’re stuck, searching for resources for change and growth takes strength and guts! Counseling creates opportunities to increase awareness and facilitate change with guided support. You may have specific goals you want to focus on, or a deep sense of wanting more.

As human beings, pain and challenges are all integral parts of our lives, but it does not mean that we have to suffer because of those - we can learn to be peaceful, and handle challenges effectively and efficiently. My goal in therapy is to meet people where they are in their lives without any prejudice, understand their situation and needs, offer them the needed support, comfort, and resources, teach them the needed skills to cope with distress, help them heal from their emotional wounds, and bring peace and optimism into their lives. I specialize in providing individual as well as couples therapy for teens and adults.

I treat anxiety, depression, chronic pain, medical trauma and sexual trauma using EMDR. EMDR is a transformative therapy technique that shifts how one’s body and brain respond to stress and distress. You may be struggling with mental health symptoms that have lasted for months or even years. It takes you away from your work and family. You may have spent a lot of time and money on treatment or struggled to find effective treatment. EMDR is different than other types of therapy because healing and relief happens more swiftly. I use Telehealth exclusively.

Shining our light in the world is our deepest and innate calling, yet conditions weighted upon us from sociocultural oppression, obligatory roles within our family system, or within intimate partnerships may serve to dim our shine. Through relational repair and attuned presence, I seek to encourage, unearth, and exalt each person's radiant self.

Imagine walking into therapy without the burden of having to perfectly explain what you need. Imagine working with someone who eases the pressure of knowing exactly what to say, who offers genuine understanding, and has the knowledge and intuition to guide you towards your goals.
Most of my clients come to me after having a series of experiences in therapy that did not work for them. They are looking for someone they can relate to and feel safe expressing their true selves, and who recognizes that healing starts with truly being accepted and supported for who you are.

On the outside, you look calm, capable, and reliable. On the inside, you’re overwhelmed. You push through exhaustion because you don’t want to let anyone down, but your body is screaming for rest. When you do “rest” you feel guilty or behind, leaving you even more exhausted. You feel wired and tired at the same time, but minimize your stress because “others have it worse” or you can still function. If this sounds familiar, you may be struggling with chronic stress or burnout. While stressors are part of life, getting stuck in survival mode doesn't have to be your default.
