Do you want to see real change? Let's be honest: healing takes work. Do you feel stuck reliving the old anxiety ridden patterns? Maybe you feel like there’s a barrier between you and other people. For some reason you feel like no matter what you do, you’re never enough. No matter how hard you try to overcompensate, “fake it until you make it,” or avoid it, you still feel the same. You may even be successful or moving forward and you tell yourself “this works”, and you’re still miserable. Now more than ever, we all feel like we have so much to lose when we try to heal. But it doesn’t have to feel like this.

We all have an image of our best self. This is the person we'd be if we just weren't so tired, so anxious, so angry or so depressed. I think about my work as the process of helping people to become who they already know they are - or could be. Our work together is to find out why you feel those things in the first place so you can move past them and start feeling happier, more productive and more connected to the life you want.

You are likely searching for a therapist because there is something in your life that is not working well. You may be feeling overwhelmed, distressed, hopeless, or noticing things in your life or in your relationships that you no longer find satisfying. Therapy provides time to consider who you are; it is a collaborative conversation that helps you to explore the ways your experiences have shaped your beliefs, feelings, and assumptions, and to identify the factors which prevent you from making the changes you desire in your life.

We are all alive and trying to learn something about living; we live the way that we feel. We do this automatically (and whether we know it or not) in relationship: in relating to our self and to others. Therefore, my philosophy is everything is emotional and relational and personal; everything matters. And, most often, what really deeply matters in most unknown to ourselves.

You may be considering therapy because you feel stuck or dissatisfied about some parts of your life. You might be aware of the person you want to be and can be, but something is getting in the way of that and you would like to understand what. Or, you might need a place to talk about difficult experiences so you can make sense of them. As someone who truly believes in the healing power of therapy, I am glad you are considering it as a way of reaching your potential, regardless of whom you choose as your therapist.

Therapy works best when it is tailored to your needs. My job is to provide a safe and welcoming place for you to show up just as you are, to feel heard and supported, and to work through the issues that are causing distress. Sometimes we know why we are feeling what we are feeling and sometimes we don’t—both are great places to start therapy. Together we can explore what is happening in your life and find solutions that best suit you. I enjoy working with teens and adults on a wide range of issues and most recently spent time working with adolescents as a school-based therapist in middle school and high school.

I specialize in helping adults and adolescents who are struggling through difficult life situations. My hope is that my clients will begin to emerge from the experience with strength, insight and a sense of empowerment to address the next challenge with grace. Using a strengths-based approach, I employ concepts of cognitive therapy and mindfulness to increase self-awareness and choice within life's challenges. I also use EMDR, an evidence-based approach, to help release the impact of past experiences on current emotions, thoughts and behaviors including traumatic events and childhood trauma.

Something may feel a bit off in your life. Maybe you are more weighed down or less comfortable with others than you once were. Perhaps you can’t quite put your finger on the problem - or you know exactly what it is, but you aren’t sure how to tackle it. Without attention these experiences can take up unwanted space in our lives and unknowingly place barriers in front of our goals. They may surface in symptoms such as repeating cycles, confusing priorities, or an inability to enjoy life. I work with individuals and couples who are experiencing stuck, disconnected, or overwhelming feelings and are ready to make a change.
