It is exhausting to feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or like you’re walking on eggshells with people you love. It is miserable to feel like you’re just faking it every day, not liking yourself, or not knowing how to manage your depression, anxiety, or trauma. I provide my clients with the care, guidance, and support they need to make positive change and feel better. My approach is non-judgmental and grounded in respect. I work collaboratively with each client to understand their unique situation, struggles, and goals; working to develop the tools needed to improve relationships - including their relationship with themself.

I've been through my own storms, faced my share of rainbows, and I understand how these struggles can affect various areas of your life.

Immediate telehealth openings as of 4/22/24. Some wounds have a hard time healing. These wounds show up in different ways – sometimes through people-pleasing, feeling too guilty to relax, always keeping busy, struggling to say “no,” or lashing out at others. This pain comes with anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and negativity about life - and other side effects. It can also make you feel “stuck” in some ways and unable to move forward. Maybe you’ve found yourself there – if so, you're in the right place. I want to help you take steps forward to heal your wounds and get back to living the life you envision for yourself.

Life is challenging and seems to grow more challenging by the day. I offer a warm and non judgmental space to explore the pulls on our lives- parenthood, work, adult parents with personality disorders. We may explore how your childhood impacts today or process through a trauma that has been a barrier to moving forward. I offer both a space to explore feelings as well as solutions to the challenges we face.

What's keeping you up at night? Worrying excessively? Unable to just "shake it off,” deal with it,” or “get over it?” You've come to the right place and thank you for stopping by!

Currently accepting new clients and offering sessions in the evenings Monday through Thursday and Saturday.

I provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for adults (18+) as well as Ecotherapy approaches and concepts. Accessing therapeutic effects from nature is of great help to attain balance, effective coping, rejuvenation, and personal insight. Ecotherapy can be a key add-on to the immense healing that CBT can provide. Online telehealth sessions focus on what you want to ADDRESS and remedy (e.g. anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, stress, relationship troubles, parenting, self-esteem, addiction, panic/phobia, aging, and more). as well as how to COPE with challenges, uncertainty and distress.

I believe every one has their own unique potential in overcoming adversity. Life is not easy and often times we need support and someone to listen to our fears, hopes, dreams. We sometimes, need a nudge in a certain direction that we can't clearly see. I can help provide that nudge with whatever your are struggling with and provide insight on how to get there. I also do life coaching. Life coaching is different than therapy in that you may need guidance but not have a psychological disorder.

I know scrolling through Psychology Today profiles can be frustrating, and challenging. Making sense of all of the therapy terms and acronyms, (oh so many of those!) can be exhausting.

The path to change is often marked with unknown barriers and systemic trauma. My aim is to help others identify interpersonal and systemic barriers standing in the way of growth. I am trauma informed, and an ACES DV survivor and advocate. I work hard to provide a safe space to grow the therapist client alliance.
