If you are willing to embark on an open and honest journey of healing and self-discovery, then my services are for you. I work with people of all pronouns who want to embody their most aligned life.

Sometimes life goes exactly as planned and other times we face unexpected curveballs. This can result in grief, loss, depression, anxiety and more. When this happens, life can seem daunting and insurmountable but there is always hope. With a caring ear, guidance, & therapy methods that fit your situation, the challenges of life can be a catalyst for growth, healing, and joy! I consider it an honor to come alongside clients as they work on healing and overcoming their trials.

Everyone needs hope. We despair and turn to alcohol, food, shopping, sex and the infinite screen to fill our void. We think we know what we want: intimacy, confidence, inner peace and a sense of achievement. We want to matter. We are tortured at times by self doubt implanted by past traumas. I offer a secure place to be yourself to unravel your secrets, fears, shame and guilt. I have 26 years post-doctoral clinical experience counseling individuals, couples and families. I view human problems from a social systemic perspective addressing the individual and their social context.

Transformative coaching & hypnotherapy to clarify your purpose, release limiting beliefs, embrace healthy habits, enhance creativity and self-esteem, align your actions and values, and embody your best self.

Life can be painful and confusing sometimes. Maybe you are struggling with anxiety, depression, or challenging life changes. Maybe you are grieving the loss of someone, or some part of your life...feeling alone and afraid to take the next step. lt might be time to get a different perspective on your problems so that you can start to feel the relief you are seeking and move forward. I will work carefully with you to uncover the basis for your distress, reexamine your expectations and choices, then explore new ways of experiencing your life that make sense to you.

New clients welcome! Life is a complex journey, and we all need skillful support along the way. As a counselor, I am oriented toward your wholeness and uniqueness. I provide individualized care based on your needs and goals. I facilitate the therapeutic process from a place of non-judgment and collaboration, navigating the path to your therapeutic goals while holding space for your long-term vision and purpose. I maintain a therapeutic container that is both strong and soft, held in compassion, activated by my commitment to supporting your development, and nourished by constant attunement to deep listening and skillful practice.

While it can be tempting to avoid things that cause distress, it can create problems that leave us feeling disconnected or stuck. It happens when parts of our story contain difficult experiences that we aren’t equipped to hold. We find ways to alter or reject those parts, like little life-hacks to be self-reliant, find control, hide emotions, or people please to name a few. Except our lives are complex and without all the pieces we also lose connection with the parts we desire - relationships, academics, careers, or health & well-being. Therapy gives us to the tools to restore the altered pieces and live from a place of connection.

Come as you are and embark on this journey with the support you deserve. Together we will focus on helping you find the best strategies for improving your life and working on your goals.

I am most skilled at working through trauma and helping clients understand why they have the issues they do. I can help you identify the real source of your issues, so you can begin to transform your life. I also do a lot of work around gender exploration.

Are you highly motivated and ready to overcome life dissatisfaction to realize your potential? My practice is tailored specifically for individuals like you who are determined to transform their lives. While addressing underlying fears and core beliefs causing distress, we focus on your capacity to live the life you envision. As a certified Functional Nutritional Therapist, I leverage my knowledge of body systems, nutrition, and lifestyle to optimize treatment outcomes. This approach is particularly effective for those navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, and recovery from addictions and eating disorders.

Finding the right therapist can be challenging! But feeling connected and safe is essential to the work you will do in therapy. It takes a lot of courage to open your life up to someone else, to be vulnerable and willing to work on yourself. I place a high priority on creating a safe space for clients to share, we get enough judgment elsewhere in life. I am passionate about helping individuals struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, body image, relationship issues, work/career stress and communication issues. I have experience working at intensive treatment settings for eating disorders, substance use and chronic pain as well.

You have worlds to explore within yourself, so much strength to uncover, feelings to connect with, and pain to heal. My intention is not to "fix" you, but to help you reclaim your power so that you can feel confident in your innate ability to work toward balance and growth. My aim is always for you to feel safe, seen, and heard. In a world that seems to constantly pull your energy outward in a way that doesn't serve you, I want to provide you with a space where you can turn inward, with intention and compassion.

Welcome! Making the choice to start therapy can be overwhelming. Knowing what to expect can help. Our sessions will take place via secure Telehealth or in person, depending on your needs. I have over 15 years of experience in working with individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, chronic illness, grief/loss, motherhood, postpartum depression/anxiety and adults navigating life transitions. I utilize holistic, relational and strengths-based approaches to work with you towards growth and healing. I work with adults, couples and adolescents and I am LGBTQIA+ affirming.

Whether it is the stresses and anxieties of everyday life, which at times build up to seemingly insurmountable levels, deeper lingering depression, or living with other mental health issues that impact your daily life in negative ways; having a safe place to discuss and explore your experience can make all the difference. You are the expert on your life and your experiences, and with your insight we can work together towards improving the quality of your daily life. Please do not hesitate to call with questions. I currently only see clients on weekends.

I believe, and the research clearly indicates, that the bond you form with your therapist is the biggest predictor of positive outcomes. I therefore place a high emphasis on establishing a warm, safe environment for our relationship to grow. I like to understand therapy as a shared endeavor at pattern finding. If we can understand the personal and interpersonal patterns that contribute to your difficulties, we can address the root causes of those challenges and open up new ways of experiencing yourself and others.

You are ready to dive deep and explore the inner workings of your life in order to understand, heal, and thrive. You'll find my services particularly effective if you are going through transition (career/livelihood, relational, geographical, physical, gender, financial, and so on), wanting to explore traumatic experiences, seeking support for learning or acquired physical disabilities, you are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, and parts of your life that feel out of control. You might also be seeking support through use of nature and mindfulness-based or somatic therapy modalities, dream exploration, and spirituality.

You may feel as if everyday life has become challenging due to issues of anxiety, depression or an inability to integrate a loss in your life. These issues become apparent in symptoms you experience, behaviors you develop at work or at home, or through a narrative you tell yourself.

Have you ever wondered why certain life patterns have been so hard to turn around? Perhaps you struggle with money problems, feel hopeless, suffer from weight problems, or addictions you can't seem to beat. Psychological and physical ailments such as these, as well as self-doubts, often originate from past events of which you may be unaware. They don't have to remain a mystery-or have power over you anymore! Real lasting change comes not only from an understanding of those events, but from creating corrective emotional experiences that allow you to release those old, unproductive patterns.
