Do you feel overwhelmed by the current state of the world and the endless bombardment of one felt catastrophe after another in addition to all you already do each day? It can be easy to get lost in the monotony of the day to day and lose track of WHO we are. Life can also become overwhelming and even the smallest tasks feel insurmountable. In therapy we take the complexities all around and seek transformation.

In my practice, I blend NARM with other mindfulness-based methods to help clients gently access and heal unresolved issues in order to decrease unnecessary suffering in their lives. My practice is ideal for clients who are curious about expanding their capacity for intimacy in their relationships and creating greater joy and satisfaction in their lives. I enjoy working with clients who are curious about and engaged in their own healing process, and who are committed to compassion and nonviolence in their relationships with others and with themselves. I welcome adults, adolescents, couples, and clients from the LGBTQI+ community.

We all get stuck & that's simply part of being imperfectly human. There are times in life when we need someone to walk beside us as we navigate new paths into healthier relationships. Relationships with ourselves and others. Intentionally cultivating new patterns of interaction and deconstruction patterns that no longer serve us. I act as a choreographer of conversations, aimed to explore emotional connections & attachment injuries and impasses. As humans, we have a biological need to feel seen to be safe, secure & connected in our relationships. I work collaboratively with clients creating safety, change & a new path forward.

I treat adults (18+) that need support, guidance and insight into their mental health challenges while actively engaging in the work. I work collaboratively with my clients and take a person-centered approach as I believe the therapeutic relationship is a critical component to success in the therapeutic work. Dual engagement in the the therapeutic process leads to clients learning to apply techniques independently and better manage mental health symptoms.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I strive to create a space for individuals and families to feel safe and open as we work through some of life's hardest challenges.

I work with adults with obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety disorders, women's issues, relational/attachment related issues, and life transitions.
Do you find yourself gripped by anxiety and worries, unable to live the life you want? Perhaps you feel stuck in old, familiar patterns that are no longer working for you? Whether you are trapped in a cycle of rumination, rituals, and avoidance or fed up with low self-esteem and unfulfilling relationships, you're ready for a change. You're ready to live life based on your values instead of your fears. You're ready to let go of what has been holding you back and gain deeper insight into yourself and your past experiences. Most of all, you're ready to love yourself again and embrace life with a renewed sense of hope.

As a life coach...my clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed and stuck. Ruminating over past regrets or lost opportunities. Life transitions can cause us to feel uninspired, unsatisfied and co-existing with a hopeless feeling. Work can feel overwhelming or unfulfilling, our wellness becomes unbalanced, our relationships become stagnant or even go away and we find ourselves feeling unconnected from life.

In today’s world, people feel lonelier than ever before. With so much time spent behind screens, it’s no wonder we struggle to connect with ourselves and others. I help young adults rediscover that connection and build meaningful relationships. Life in 2024 brings unique challenges: we feel stressed yet drained, have social media followers but lack deep friendships, and work hard without feeling it’s enough. Despite this, I believe anyone can unlock their potential through deeper self-understanding. Together, we can navigate these struggles and move forward.

My specialty is helping clients understand why certain patterns have emerged in their lives. By fully appreciating our unwanted patterns we can gain clarity about how to change them. I believe lasting change comes from an awareness of our beliefs and values coupled with habit change. Some unique issues I work with in addition to the listed concerns are; difficulty relaxing, grief and loss, feeling others' feelings, and perfectionism.

Common to the human experience are periods of sadness, fear, anxiety, harm, and loss. Various factors may be deriving this pain, such as our most significant relationships, the ways we have learned to relate to others, and oppressive societal and cultural systems in which we live. Although relationships are often the source of our deepest wounds, they hold the possibility for our greatest healing and transformation. Therapy is a place to explore our life's story within a safe and secure relationship. It is a courageous act to begin therapy and enter onto a path towards fulfillment, freedom and wholeness.

Often people come to therapy because they feel lost or stuck in their lives. They may sense that they are repeating patterns or facing the same struggles at work, in their homes, or in relationships without really knowing why or being able to imagine how things could be different.

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
