My clients struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, overwhelming emotions, and shame, which are often connected to relational or intergenerational traumas and painful family of origin histories. They seek help in how to break unwanted cycles of internal conflict, self-doubt, and unhealthy relationship patterns, and to find their particular pathway toward a more realized, fulfilling, and happy life. Many have found talk therapy to be helpful, but have not been able to access deeper layers of experience that lie at the root of their struggles. Our work together often integrates somatic, systemic, and creative approaches.

I provide support with clients struggling with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, low self-esteem, or motivation. They may have perfectionistic tendencies, traumatic backgrounds, or self-neglect issues leading to procrastination, burnout, or self-blame. They seek relief from these symptoms and desire to improve their mental and emotional well-being. My goal for them is to develop healthier beliefs, enhance their coping skills, and achieve a balanced, fulfilling life.

Experience utilizing evidence-based therapy methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, humanistic therapy, and motivational interviewing. I use a straightforward approach with clients to get them to open up and work towards achieving their goals. I find incorporating one's strengths to drive treatment allows for easier participation and transitioning to using those strengths to begin independently solving problems as they arise.

Are you feeling "stuck," indecisive, depressed, or anxious? We all face life difficulties that limit our skills and tools for managing our emotions, reducing symptoms, building relationships, and having a sense of self-worth. Understanding, learning what is happening in your brain, and practicing skills and coping mechanisms are vital to living a worthwhile life. I have spent the last few years assisting clients, building their toolbox, understanding the emotional system, and improving their lives.

Finding a therapist that is the right fit for you is a crucial first step to a successful therapeutic experience. My approach to therapy is client-centered, meaning that I will work collaboratively with you to tune into your struggles, explore new and creative ways to cope, and strengthen your ability to manage your emotional experiences. I believe in using art in conjunction to traditional talk based therapy, as I have seen it provides an alternative way of expressing oneself for children, adolescents, young adults, geriatric clients, and on an inpatient psychiatric unit.

I follow the concept that therapy can heal emotional pain, improve relationships, and increase self-understanding. Beginning therapy can often be intimidating, but can make a big difference in your ability to cope with challenges or make sense of what has happened so you can gather the skills to move forward. I am open to addressing unresolved or present barriers in your life, guiding and helping you make sense out of your own thoughts ideas, and conflicts (situational).
