Sometimes our lives can feel like an untamed wilderness, we get lost in uncharted territories of anxiety, depression, conflict or feeling “stuck” with our partner, feelings of low self-worth, trauma, and so many others. As your therapist, I am committed to braving that wilderness with you as we explore new pathways together to discover your best life possible! Making the decision to try therapy and reaching out to a total stranger to share your most vulnerable self can be very intimidating and scary; I commend your bravery in getting this far. You have the first step towards inner peace and freedom!

Frustrated. Heart-broken. Hopeless. Exhausted. Life and relationships can feel daunting. You may want a stronger relationship with your partner but feel out of sync. You want deeper connections with the people in your life, but past experiences hold you back, telling you not to trust anyone. You want to feel secure and empowered, but you feel broken or defeated.

Substance use disorders, eating disorders, & other destructive behaviors are often used as a way to cope with emotional distress and/or avoid pain. I help individuals heal by being curious & compassionate about the destructive behaviors to discover what purpose they serve. This often looks like assessing biological & social factors, healing unresolved trauma, grief, attachment issues, and learning new coping skills. I utilize a collaborative & holistic approach to treatment. Together, we can heal the pain, and find new ways to cope with emotional distress.
