You want to be the best version of yourself but you are worried you keep coming up short. You overthink things you said or did, feel anxious, and worry about pleasing others.

Most days your body feels like it is on high alert, waiting for something bad to happen. You have feelings of danger panic or dread, and it is making it increasingly difficult to get through your day. Everyone experiences anxiety from time to time, you tell yourself, but this nervousness and tension is starting to interfere with your day to day activities- work, family, friends and fun. You can’t concentrate and feel like you overthink everything. A restful night’s sleep seems to be a thing of the past, and you are worried it is impacting your physical health. As your irritability increases, you realize this is no way to live.

I am a relational therapist who believes the path to healing is best done in partnership. My therapeutic style is based in understanding and compassion; I will meet you where you are so we can work towards where you want to be. It is my goal to offer you a space in sessions where you can feel heard, understood, and connected. Together we will work to identify and overcome unhelpful patterns that have been built to protect and navigate difficult situations. In this therapeutic space, these unhelpful patterns can be transformed into confident behaviors.

My work has been devoted to helping people work through relationship issues. Often clients enter therapy feeling lonely, depressed, or anxious. I hope to help clients feel comfortable with therapy and to begin to learn more about their early experiences, which may have led to negative thoughts and/or difficulty in relationships. I utilize EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples) to help clients understand how their underlying feelings may result in behaviors which contribute to unsatisfying relationships. My ultimate goal is to help clients change negative patterns and find more comfort and closeness in their lives.

At what point does the pain of coping with the challenges in our complex lives require us to reach out? When do you say "it ends with me but I need help to do this". I work with cycle breakers. My passion is to release individuals and marriages from the old patterns that often bind us to reactions that don't serve us or our hopes and dreams for the future. We want both comfort and tools to tackle anxiety and stress at work, at home and with family. We want to be responsible but not so overwhelmed we can't take care of our lives goals. Counseling can offer the space to connect to your inner world with intention and safety.

There are many reasons why people struggle in their daily lives, which leads them to seek out therapy.

Life can be exciting, scary, beautiful, painful, and most often is a combination of all of these. It may feel that the ground beneath us constantly shifts as we work to keep our balance. Some days it is a challenge just to get out of bed and face the day. Other days seem easy, we have energy and we wonder how to make it last. At times we may find ourselves engaging in unhealthy behaviors trying to quiet the anxiety that never completely resolves no matter how hard we try. Self-doubt creeps in, we question not only our choices but our very selves. Traumatic events, recent or remote, may shake our foundation and make us wonder if we will ever feel safe again. Life is hard and messy and beautiful, all at the same time. Therapy can help you discover your personal strengths and resources, allowing you to confidently face the hard and messy parts. Therapy can also help you connect with your courage to pursue and embrace all that makes life beautiful for you. In addition to acceptance, empathy and guidance, I offer my belief in your ability to grow and flourish when you can’t find it in yourself.

I get it. You've been wanting to make a change for a while, but it's exhausting just to think about taking on another thing. It's a chore just to manage all the day to day stuff of work and family and making everything run smoothly; much less eating healthy, going to the gym, working on relationships, AND going to regular therapy sessions! It's a spiral that's so easy to get lost in and it's hard to find a foothold to steady yourself and find a way out. Therapy CAN offer that foothold; some guidance to help figure out how to feel peaceful and content with your life, and have the energy to do things that make you feel fulfilled.
