Life can feel overwhelming at times, especially when the challenges you’re facing seem insurmountable. You may feel you've tried everything, only to find yourself in the same place; frustrated or stuck, but no matter how complicated life feels, there is always a path forward. The first step towards change often begins with finding the right support—a safe, non-judgmental space where you can be heard and understood. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, grief, relationship issues, or work-related stress, my goal is to help you identify new perspectives and develop practical strategies that lead to meaningful change.

Are you an aspiring gentle mother who is struggling with anxiety? You’re not alone if your whole-hearted intention for peace dissolves with each day’s triggers. You might feel like you’re drowning—overwhelmed by the relentless needs surrounding you, unable to show up in alignment with your values, and exhausted from trying so hard only to feel like you’re falling short. But there is another way. You can feel at peace within yourself, consciously connected with your loved ones, and enjoying a fulfilling life you love.

I believe therapy is most effective when there is a relationship between therapist and client that is genuine and trusting. I enjoy working with clients who are experiencing or have experienced complex trauma, anxiety, low self-esteem, relational difficulties, and spiritual/religious confusion and oppression. I don’t posit to know all the answers. Instead, I strive to partner with you in exploring what healing and growth look like today. I love what I do and the opportunity to really get to know people (like you!).

At the core of my treatment philosophy is the belief that families heal when movement occurs and people begin to step out of their comfort zones to unlock their potential and capacity for growth. Often there is underlying pain and/or trauma that needs to be addressed in order for the system to recover and break the cycle. Whether the results of the family dysfunction is abuse, addiction, estrangement, divorce, suicide, broken communication paths, or some other behavior, treatment can provide relief.

Oftentimes we seek out therapy because components in our lives are causing us significant distress and disrupt our ability to function effectively and feel happiness. I ask clients who come into therapy to bring with them an open attitude, a willingness to explore their life perspectives and their relationships with others, that they may experience true change and healing. This journey towards emotional maturity often involves a certain amount of discomfort and pain before the healing and change can occur. I provide a warm, trusting, safe space to assist people so that they may continue that journey.

I believe the purpose of therapy is to support people in gaining personal insight, understanding of others perspectives, and integrating this information while planning new and improved responses and courses of action. As we are able to discover and express our hidden emotions and create new relational responses we then have the potential to change a distressed and rigid relationship into a more secure, safe and satisfying one. My commitment is to devote my full attention to you during our time together and to work with you as supportively, competently, responsibly, and professionally as I am able.

I am passionate about working with individuals and couples. Navigating live's challenges can be really intimidating amidst the stressors of life, especially when they all start piling up and ways you used to cope before stop working. Before giving up, try seeking help from a qualified professional and learn new ways of understanding and interacting with your environment. By identifying and working through barriers, new patterns can be learned, and healing experiences can be found. Resources can be gained and emotional resilience can be improved. You can find the harmony you desire within your life, and it starts here.

Waitlist for new clients
The moment we start to think "who am I," "why am I like this," or "is this the true version of who I am" are moments I consider to be breakthroughs. Moments of self-reflection can be difficult to understand, difficult to seek answers, and just the thought seems bizarre or confusing. At times it may not even be self-reflection. Instead, it is the feeling of guilt, shame, worthlessness, or insecurities. It can also show up as anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, somatic symptoms, interpersonal challenges, or strain in quality of life. This is the result of exposure to or experiences of neglect and abuse during our lifetime.

Everyone faces unique challenges shaped by their history, identities, and the systems around them—social, political, and familial. Tragedy and trauma are part of the human experience. Often, strong emotions like anger, depression, or anxiety drive us to seek help. By exploring these feelings, we may uncover recurring patterns in how we relate to ourselves and others that cause suffering and keep us stuck. Psychotherapy can help identify and address these patterns, offering a path to growth and healing. Just as adversity is part of being human, so is the potential for recovery and change.
