You’ve built a successful life but lately it doesn’t feel that way. You may be a high-achieving professional, a parent juggling too much, or someone constantly holding it together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed inside. Anxiety, burnout, relationship stress, or simply feeling stuck might be showing up in your body, your sleep, or your sense of self. You don’t have to keep pushing through alone. I am a licensed psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience helping people like you regain clarity, peace, and purpose.

I'm glad you are here. Life is hard enough with out beating yourself up and telling yourself you suck as a person, friend, partner, parent, child, employee, and on, and on. It's important to find space to give your mind a break from the negative chatter you use to push yourself forward but only holds you back. You have worth. All those to do lists can wait. Start finding moments of peace and connection to others. Take some time to be in the moment and enjoy the right now.

I believe that therapy is a place to explore who we are and how we want to move forward with our lives. It is a space to look at what is holding us back and impeding our own personal growth. My approach is to work together with individuals to unearth current and past dysfunctions that are no longer working for them and to help navigate a new way for clients to see themselves and the world around them. I help clients examine their patterns of thought, feelings and behaviors and explore the impact of their past and current relationships on their present life.

I believe that everyone comes into therapy with their own innate strength and wisdom, and in my sessions, I strive to help teens, children, families, and individuals with eating disorders tap into these qualities that are already present within. I incorporate empathy and a non-judgemental approach into my sessions to foster a safe, therapeutic relationship. It is through this relationship we can explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviors and, in time, we will examine whether they are helping you live your most fulfilling life.

I am humbled you chose me to serve you to enter your sacred space and walk along or sit beside you as you journey either in psychotherapy or in counseling with me. Whether I am your first provider or not, I am certain we both will be better because of our insightful and transformative interactions. I embrace appropriate provider transparency, so I will begin by saying, “no, my dad did not want a son when he named me, Thomasina,” as he already had a son named Thomas.

We will always start our work together with focusing on what you are experiencing right now. I can help you find peace and balance as you learn to cope and adjust to the various stresses of life. We can also begin to explore how your past experiences may be influencing you today. Often times we know that our upbringing was not maybe the "best" and as a result we can feel less than fully appreciated and un-validated. This can have longterm effects on our self-esteem and wellbeing. Therapy allows us to fully explore any repeating patterns in your life, and offer freedom from anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and suffering.

Therapy can sometimes feel awkward at first; it may bring out feelings of vulnerability and may be emotionally taxing. That's why building trust and rapport early on is crucial, making you feel comfortable, safe, and heard. Once trust is established, we can collaboratively set goals and develop coping skills to tackle any challenges you face. Each client's situation is unique, guiding my therapeutic approach. I often use an eclectic mix of treatments, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy.

We are convinced we have a problem. We're focused on it, worried about it, and it often feels like it defines us. These problems tend to show up or worsen during life and relationship transitions. Attending to what isn't working, as well as being intentional about addressing these problems, is necessary for change. Easily overlooked though, are the jewels - the opportunities hiding behind those problems. Psychotherapy provides a safe space for growth opportunities - offering compassion to those parts of ourselves we don't like or shame us, while allowing for the fluidity, flexibility and movement required for transformations.

Greeting life’s changes head on with curiosity, is what I’m here to help you do! Get ready to embrace your evolution and reignite your power, as well as address and heal what’s slowing you down. That’s the exciting part of this journey, because, contrary to what societal norms and even social media tells you, yes, our middle years are full of change, but you’re not broken, nor do you have to suffer. Let’s face it, going through life’s transitions (perimenopause and menopause, divorce, empty nest syndrome, and the list goes on) is not for wimps, and not just because of the physical changes.
