There is a common misconception that seeking help, in this case going to therapy, makes one "weak." Truth be told, asking for help demonstrates an incredible amount of bravery & resilience. Many of us are conditioned to believe that we must stuff our pain deep inside and move on. Not only can this be deeply harmful to our psyche, our bodies also hold trauma & pain in such a way that can impact our health at large. My hope is to offer a safe space for you to navigate the story of your life, past and present, and begin experiencing homeostasis of mind, body & soul. I am passionate about body liberation and self-acceptance work.

My desire is to create a safe place for adolescents and young adults to express themselves and work through the challenges of life. Growing up brings many natural transitions that can be challenging at times. With additional life stressors, life can feel overwhelming. Problems at school, low self-esteem, family conflict, past traumas, loss/grief, and other issues can create strong feelings that get in the way of normal functioning. I believe every person has a story of resilience and my role is to help integrate past experiences, cope with present hardships and create hope for the future.

Seeking therapy can be a daunting process, while also being one step toward greater wholeness/healing. Relationship is where we are both wounded and healed. I work with individuals seeking relief from distressing symptoms such as; demanding too much of yourself, finding it hard to trust self, your experience, your mind, self-soothing through addictive behaviors, pleasing others at your own expense, anxiety, depression, PTSD. Our patterns of relating develop early within our first attachments, so our journey might include visiting some of those relationships to wonder how they impact you in the here and now.

Many people seek therapy when they feel disconnected from themselves, their story, their body, or their community. As a therapist, I understand that being human can be complex, challenging, and even messy. However, it can also be beautiful and delightful, especially when on a healing journey. My goal as a therapist is to help my clients connect with their innate ability to heal and grow. I believe that my clients are the experts in their own lives and experiences, and my role is to support and empower them throughout the process.

I specialize in working clinically with adolescents and their families as they navigate difficult and overwhelming experiences, relationships, or transitions. I also enjoy working with individual adults and couples who need a safe and honest place to reimagine what life can be. While our work can include clinical assessment and specific treatment goals, you are likely interested in therapy for more personal reasons. Perhaps your life has become dominated by loneliness, confusion, broken relationships, unmanageable anger or deep sadness. Perhaps you feel completely stuck. Your priorities and needs will guide our work together.
