We all have a story to tell. Maybe your story is one that includes traumatic experiences, loneliness, depression, or anxiety. You might be struggling at school, work, or in your relationships. Maybe you want to leave a relationship and do not know how. Or maybe, just maybe, you feel like life is okay, but really could be better. You do not have to figure things out on your own.

You know all too well that life, although beautiful, comes with its fair share of pain. Pain is messy, and uncomfortable, so if you’re anything like most of us, you’ve also perfected the art of avoidance as your way to cope and keep moving forward. That’s just “life”, right? But what if this isn’t how you were meant to live? What if the deep pain that you’ve experienced, and all the suffering that comes with it, isn’t something you’re meant to carry around? I help empower clients to address their pain and begin their journey of healing.

Have you been holding back on therapy because you worry it will be boring or filled with a whole bunch of advice you don't want? Don't worry! Therapy doesn't have to be like that. In fact, I believe effective therapy should feel engaging and light-hearted. Don't get me wrong - therapy is hard work, especially when you have something traumatic to unpack. Together, we'll sort through those issues and work toward the healing you deserve while leaving space for creativity and playfulness along the way. We'll also be able to do so much great work all from the comfort and security of your home, which is why I love video therapy.
