Life is now. We all experience inner and outer obstacles that interfere with living life to its fullest. Growth / progress usually stems from understanding who we are, what needs to change within ourselves and our relationships, learning new ways to heal, forgive, and communicate, and letting go of patterns that interfere. Therapy is unique for each of us. I integrate and tailor various approaches to address the mind, body, and spirit. We will partner together to address your goals. I will bring compassion, creativity, sensitivity, warmth, accountability, and insight to our work together.

All of life is about relating. All day long we are in some kind of relationship with another person. How comfortable and how capable are you in communicating your needs and desires? Do you feel understood by your partner? Are you feeling stressed or directionless in your relationship, your career, your life purpose? Have you suffered a loss and are grieving? Do you have a Inner Critic that is always whispering in your ear critiquing your every move? If you would like non-judgmental support, practical tools and straightforward feedback, please call.

Visit my website to see my real-time availability and to request an appointment. Your personal story is unique. Sometimes your story may feel difficult for you to understand, let alone share with others. Therapy can help you make sense of your story and better understand how it affects your present and future. As a licensed clinical psychologist, I help individuals process challenging life experiences, understand the impact of those experiences on them and those they love, and utilize skills that can help even their most troubling experiences become an integrated and less troubling part of their story.

We heal best in the presence of others. A trusting relationship is key to this process and you’ve already taken one of the most difficult steps…to let another into this space with you. Everyone can benefit from shared space and time with a neutral ally. I have over a decade of experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds with various relational needs. My clients describe me as approachable, present, empathetic, authentic, knowledgeable, & candid. Understanding our relational patterns, the impacts of our experiences, & our nervous system cues are essential in shaping new ways of being.

Good on you for thinking about doing therapy. You don’t have to have a mental health diagnosis to benefit from it! It can be scary to start, and hard work to do, but the payoff can be incredible. The right therapist helps us dismantle unhelpful beliefs and create a framework that allows for radical shifts in how we feel about and engage in our lives. If you’d like to change patterns of stress, disconnection, and overwhelm, and have a life that is more present, balanced, and fulfilled, let’s talk.
