Maybe you've tried therapy before, and it didn't help. I'm sure that some days it just seems easier to stay in bed with the curtains drawn, so you don't have to face the world. I know how frustrating that feels, to have "lost" something from the way you used to be and to not know what it is exactly, that you've lost - to feel incomplete in some way and to not have the words to describe exactly what you are experiencing. Many have told me that I am the first therapist, who has actually given them tools to cope better, rather than allowing them to "just vent." Most begin to find relief within only a few short sessions with me.

Welcome to my office building and my practice. I intend to convey a non-judgmental and non-pejorative attitude that is evident in the therapy process, regardless of the issues at hand. I use an integrative and individualized approach forming a therapeutic and productive partnership that best meets your needs.

Being everything to everyone is exhausting, builds resentment, and leaves us feeling irritable, angry, and sad. You often don’t have time for yourself and you may feel that no one truly sees you for who you are or all that you offer. The anxiety that comes from living this life can be stifling, confusing, and frustrating, but when exactly are you supposed to find the time to deal with all your feelings when you are constantly responding to everyone else's. The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are.

Have you tried ignoring your past and keep finding yourself in similar situations, feeling the same way? Are you experiencing new feelings of stress or sadness and feel disconnected with who you once were? Or maybe you appear to be handling everything well, but inside you are struggling and feel like you're falling apart. I’d love to work with you on rediscovering your joy, peace, and passion. I provide a nonjudgmental and relaxing atmosphere allowing clients to safely explore thoughts and feelings, to work through their baggage, and create the life they want.

Courage, compassion, curiosity, and vulnerability are key elements of discovery and practice throughout the therapeutic journey. My passion for counseling begins here: I prioritize and foster an honest, non-judgemental, open, genuine space and therapeutic relationship to best aid you with what your journey entails and encompasses. My work consists of supporting adults and teens ages 16 and up through complex trauma history and healing, navigating close and intimate relationships, unpacking major life transitions, intentional exploration of your identity and sense of self, or processing the unbearable loss of a loved one.
