Sometimes we crave change. We can struggle with feelings, thoughts or behaviors that make us feel stuck, distressed, frustrated or lost. Whether we are coping with anxiety, self-criticism, loneliness, shame, depression or grief; healing from trauma; or wanting our relationships & capacity to communicate with ourselves or others to improve - there ARE genuine ways to transform & heal. In order for change to happen we need to feel safe: to be seen, heard, and validated. Together, we will create a safe space for you to explore and understand what’s been keeping you where you are, so you can finally get to where you want to be.
The work I do involves curiosity, exploration, embodiment, empowerment & compassion. I have been through & seen a lot as a person, so my life informs my work with others - I didn't learn all I do from books or school. I LOVE to laugh, sit in sunshine, be moved & inspired by GOOD tv & films, and I love to write. Helping others is an innate part of who I am.
We may desire real change yet find ourselves fearing it or feeling a sense of embarrassment/judgement around seeking help… I invite you to consider pursuing help as an act of courage & self-compassion… I invite you to call to get a stronger sense of me, both as a person & a clinician, & if that feels right, together we will help you build the life you want.

The most important part of our work together will be creating and maintaining a safe space where you are heard, seen, and accepted for who you are, even if you have trouble doing the same for yourself. We will work at a pace that feels comfortable to you, and help you come to see yourself in a profoundly different light. Life can be better & I would be honored to help you get where you hope to go.
