Please note my practice is currently full, telehealth sessions only. I do offer consultation for therapists. People seek therapy for different reasons - life transitions, anxiety, a sense that they could be living fuller lives; some feel unhappy and stuck in old familiar behaviors. My intention is to co-create a safe, respectful, supportive space to hold the work. Some of my clients seek short term counseling for specific issues, and others want longer term counseling to gain a deeper understanding of the ways they relate to themselves and others.

Life is full of chaos and uncertainty right now. It may have brought you stress, anxiety, worries, sadness or grief. You may have had to deal with many life changes, some that you want and some that you don't. It makes sense to feel off, overwhelmed, and like you lost your footing. Wouldn't it be great to take a moment to breathe, regroup and learn how to adapt to life’s challenges? Clients come to me to feel seen, heard and sort through what is happening for them. They have overcome challenges in life and now want to find peace and healing. They want to be confident, calm, and true to themselves.

Our skilled & dynamic therapists are eager to support you.

Dealing with the effects of trauma, anxiety, and depression can be challenging and overwhelming. If you're dealing with the physical and emotional symptoms of these conditions, it can be hard to keep up with your daily life. If you're feeling trapped by anxiety or depression, finding it hard to cope with the aftermath of past trauma, or feeling lost and unsure about how to move forward, I'm here to help. I specialize in complex trauma and utilize an experiential approach.

I want to be part of your healing story. I believe that two people working together are stronger than one. I believe that most of our suffering comes from the pain around separation and disconnection and that healing and empowerment is best experienced and guided within a relational framework. I believe that the traditional or Western medical model for healing is outdated and limited and so I embrace a holistic or integrative approach to mental health. I believe that healing takes place beyond intellectual processing and that we need to integrate healing into somatic or body based processes and rewriting personal narrative.

Together, we will explore strategies to increase your insight (the ability to see your larger picture, connect present and past experiences, and plan for the life you want to live). I believe that therapy is half science and half art form...It can be skills-based or more existential in nature. You and I will find what works best for you - and then, simply stated, follow that path. It is my professional and personal conviction that you deserve to have a therapist who is 100% present for you, respects your life experience and culture, and utilizes tools that feel right and make the most sense to you.

Anxiety and depression feel like something you can’t always control and like your mind and body are betraying you. Over time, these feelings can creep into more aspects of your life and can be overwhelming. This is particularly true for teens and young adults, for people experiencing marital issues, and those struggling with addiction. Imagine waking up without dreading the future, taking the day as it comes, and no longer feeling apart from others. Imagine how you can move past this painful time and experience a new sense of calm and feel centered in both mind and spirit. Whatever the form your challenges take, You are not alone.

Are you questioning your relationship to alcohol? Is your substance use causing harm in your life? Have you tried to cut down or quit ... and felt like you can't? Realizing you may have an addiction, and that it may be harming or even controlling your life, is scary. It is also the first step towards change. By finding the right counselor to talk to about your substance use, you can find the insight and motivation to make the desired changes you are looking for in your life.

Are you experiencing: anxiety, malaise, feeling stuck, indecision, less connected, angry, or a sense something is missing? Are your intimate relationships satisfying? Is doubling down on “getting back to basics” or are you still wrestling with abstinence? We don’t fail or struggle from a lack of desire or willpower. We fail or struggle from a lack of support. You likely need more support than AA, or an IOP provides. I provide a personal, customized approach that can improve the effectiveness of your other efforts dramatically.

"You are doing the very best you can!" We enter adulthood with a lifetime of experiences-both positive and negative. Is today feeling like a replay of past trauma, relationships struggling, parenting making you feel like a failure, while the voice in your head says, "I am not enough?" My practice is based on the beliefs, “it is never too late” and “we each have infinite worth.” The quality of our early relationship with our caregivers, repeats without our awareness. Our past need not define our present. You are worthy of finding comfort within a secure, therapeutic relationship. Together we can explore and discover healing.

Everyone has a story to tell. Our life experiences make our ever-evolving story unique. And sometimes, those experiences are painful… Broken relationships that we fought hard to keep together. Hating the person we see when we look in the mirror. Constantly comparing our failures to others who seem to have it all together. It’s just one disappointing chapter after another.

Many of our wounds are relational, so establishing a secure and healthy therapeutic relationship is at the foundation of my work.
