You have an unmet need to feel heard in the midst of the noise, distractions, loss, never ending pressure, and stress that surrounds you. You want to break free so that you can enjoy a focused, balanced, and functional life, but don't know how. The anxiety, grief, depression, worry, insomnia, trauma, and chaos associated with coping and fitting in can be so overwhelming that you need some hope, directions, and solutions. Simply put, you need a blueprint for your own revolution so that you can continue moving forward, instead of running around in circles.

Life experiences can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves, our relationships, and our sense of safety. Whether you’re navigating the effects of trauma, working through relationship challenges, or moving through the profound transition of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I specialize in trauma, dissociation, attachment, and perinatal mental health, supporting individuals, mothers, and families through healing and times of great transition. Healing can begin when we have enough relational safety to process what we’ve been through and reconnect with who we are or want to be.

You may be standing at a crossroads: a marriage shifting, a role changing, children leaving, a career that no longer fits. Perhaps there's no single event, just a quiet knowing that something has been pushed down for too long. Many women I work with feel disconnected from themselves - carrying patterns, old wounds, and the weight of expectations that were never truly theirs. I focus on you, your story, your patterns, and aligning you with the clarity and strength that was always yours. Healing yourself is quietly one of the most generous things you can do.

I specialize in helping individuals who want their relationships to work but feel disconnected, burned out, or stuck in painful patterns that no longer reflect who they are. Many people I work with are thoughtful, highly capable, and self-aware, yet find themselves exhausted, frustrated, or unsure of their next step. You may notice perfectionism, procrastination, or imposter syndrome taking a toll on your relationships or sense of self. I often work with folks in mid-life as they reassess what they want. I offer creative unblocking work and systemic leadership coaching as well. See my website for more info.

Most of our society lives on autopilot. People focus on getting through the day with habits in place that seem to work for them, but keep them from wholehearted joyful living. Then, one day something happens to make living on autopilot no longer an option and feelings of anxiety, depression, dread, etc, emerge and life becomes hard to handle. This can lead to feeling out of control. Relationships can become difficult to navigate. Folx reach a fork in the road; seek help or continue to try the same methods hoping that life will get better. Do you find yourself hoping for more? Do you want more from yourself and your relationships?

I specialize in working with couples and women experiencing anxiety, chronic stress, burnout and health-related challenges. My approach is active and practical. While I believe in listening and creating a safe space, I also provide clear, effective tools you can use in your daily life.
Many people come to therapy feeling frustrated because they’ve been able to “vent,” but haven’t learned how to create change. I focus on helping clients understand how our brain works, how it affects our body and how to use that knowledge to our advantage.

Do you feel trapped in a story that you don’t like? Do you feel powerless, misunderstood, or lacking in some way? So much of what we experience is the result of stories we believe about ourselves. Often, we don’t examine these stories to see if they’re true. I want to help you break through to a more genuine understanding of yourself. We'll look for your strengths, abilities, and true interests and we'll work to discover how you can rise above the limitations you currently perceive. I have years of experience successfully working with people with anxiety, mental health challenges and addictions. I'd be honored to work with you.

Not accepting new clients
Life is difficult and unpredictable. It is often filled with pain and suffering which can leave us feeling alone and misunderstood. Perhaps, this describes you. In your life, maybe recently or long ago, you’ve experienced loss, trauma, unfulfilling relationships, disappointment in yourself or others, accompanied by feelings of shame, guilt, or inadequacy. And perhaps, you’ve tried to talk to someone about your struggles, but you felt it was too much for that person to hear or for you to share at that time. Then again, maybe you’ve never spoken to anyone about the burden you carry which has inflated your feelings of loneliness.

HypnoTherapy
How does hypnotherapy work?
Hypnotherapy works by using guided hypnosis to help you reach a state of focus and concentration through mental imagery and soothing verbal repetition. The state is somewhat like being absorbed in a book, a movie, or your own thoughts. You are not under a therapist’s “control,” but they can help you relax and turn your attention inward to discover the resources to achieve behavior change or better manage psychological concerns. Therapy sessions may involve guiding you through recognizing a problem, releasing problematic thoughts about it, and considering and accepting more productive alternatives before returning to normal awareness. Hypnotherapy is typically used by a therapist along with traditional forms of talk therapy. Eventually, your therapist can help you learn hypnotherapy techniques yourself so you can establish a stronger sense of control on your own in stressful or challenging moments.
Is hypnotherapy the same as hypnosis?
Hypnotherapy, which is sometimes called hypnotic suggestion, is a therapeutic technique in which a therapist uses hypnosis to help patients. It is not the kind of hypnosis portrayed in stage shows, or in movies or on television. You will not be unconscious or asleep during hypnotherapy, you will not lose control of yourself, your thoughts, or your free will, and you will be able to fully recall your experience. And while you will hear your therapist’s suggestions, it is always up to you to decide whether to act on them. Hypnosis by a trained mental-health professional is not a form of mind control, which is impossible to achieve anyway.
Can everyone be hypnotized?
The most common challenge of hypnotherapy is that as many as one in four people cannot be hypnotized. Brain imaging has confirmed differences in patterns of brain connectivity between those who respond to hypnotism and those who do not. Other people who could potentially be hypnotized may not respond to the technique because of their skepticism or resistance to entering a hypnotic state. If a therapist’s “post-hypnotic suggestion” is effective, it’s because they are suggesting something you want to achieve.
Does hypnotherapy work?
Through hypnotherapy, you can achieve changes that are real and sustainable. Like other talk therapy techniques, when hypnotherapy succeeds, it’s a case of mind over matter. Effective hypnotherapy involves self-healing because you access resources you need to change inside of yourself and learn how to tap into them whenever you need. Hypnotherapy has been shown to be an effective therapy for anxiety, phobias, stress, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress disorder, sexual dysfunction, and undesirable behaviors like smoking. It can be used to help improve sleep or to address relationship challenges, and to aid with pain management, digestive disorders, skin conditions, and the gastrointestinal side effects of pregnancy or chemotherapy.
