Psychology works because it is a way to help people understand their problems and correct or change so that they can live more healthy or satisfying lives. Many people come for therapy if they are experiencing problems with depression, anxiety or relationship issues.

I am a holistic, trauma-informed therapist and work across the lifespan to address symptoms of depression, anxiety , trauma, and relationship concerns.

In considering mental, emotional, physical, social and spiritual well-being in our work together, we can more effectively address whatever concerns or pain you may be experiencing in a deep and meaningful way.

Therapy can be a difficult but worthwhile endeavor. I believe healing is a life-long journey, it is not linear, nor does it happen in isolation. I honor your trust by providing a space where you can feel safe, supported, and most of all vulnerable. A space that is free of judgement and of unsolicited advice. I provide a person-centered therapeutic approach that includes psychoeducation, EMDR, mindfulness, Buddhist Psychology, Motivational Interviewing, and cognitive behavioral techniques, all rooted in a trauma informed and holistic perspective.

My primary goal is to support clients to connect with their innate strengths and personal power. I believe we are all doing the best we can at any given time, and sometimes we lose sight of that. Kindness and understanding, with honesty and connection, is how I believe we get there. Without connection, we often become isolated, lonely, and depression and/or anxiety can set in. I am not able to promise much, but I can promise my primary goal is to see and hear You. I believe connection and acceptance are at the core of our ability to heal. All parts are welcome.

**NOT TAKING ANY NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME ON MY CASELOAD OR WAITLIST ** Feelings of depression, anxiety and loneliness can stem from a multitude of experiences. These can include those who have experienced trauma; or, someone who is Neurodiverse and is attempting to navigate their life and understand who they are in this world. Sometimes the depression and anxiety are absolutely crippling, to the point where it feels like there is just no way out. Or, you may be a parent with a child who is just struggling and you feel like you have tried everything possible, to help and understand your child but it seems like nothing has worked.
