Life presents us with a variety of stressors and demands that at times may feel difficult to manage. Experiencing loss, depression, anxiety, or memories of disturbing past events may feel overwhelming and prevent us from fully living in the present. Or, we may feel stuck and unsure of what to do next. If you are experiencing similar challenges, I want to help you to process them, identify strengths, and utilize those strengths to heal. I will provide a safe, supportive, judgment-free space for you to share your story, help you to be present focused, and cope with difficult emotions and situations.

Everyone has a unique story. Feeling safe and comfortable in therapy to share your thoughts, feelings, and questions is essential to the therapeutic process. I understand that the decision to choose a therapist can be a daunting task and the first step into treatment requires a lot of courage. For the past 20 years I have specialized in working with people who have been impacted by complex trauma and loss. Anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, distorted self-image, and a sense of disconnect with self, their environment, and others are often the byproducts of trauma that I see my clients experiencing.

Navigating the change and chaos that can come along with grief, pregnancy, and parenting does not have to be something you carry alone. I work with individuals that are hoping to explore and set more effective boundaries in their life; cultivate self-compassion; and shift rigid expectations they may be holding themselves to that are no longer serving them. I am here to assist you in managing anxiety; depression; pregnancy after loss; miscarriage; postpartum anxiety and depression; and other reproductive health challenges.

In therapy, it is all about you. Do you need someone to listen to you, to feel heard? To feel like you matter? Do you struggle with anxiety and overthinking? Having difficulty with current transitions in life? Do you struggle with having the energy, or motivation, to change? Or maybe you struggle with negative thoughts that make you feel down, or feel bad. I will sit with you, listen to your story, and help you process and manage these negative thoughts and feelings you are having. Even if you don't feel completely ready, we can work through your ambivalence together; you do not have to be or feel alone with your struggles.
