Things are not how they used to be and you don't know how to move forward. There is a reason that you feel the way that you do, and you're not alone. Trauma has a way of making us feel "stuck", heightened anxiety and stress can feel overwhelming, and navigating uncertainty can feel scary. I believe that we all have the capacity to experience healing when we are seen as we are in a trusting environment. My hope is that you not only develop a greater awareness within yourself, but that you truly feel heard, understood, and known.

I'm here to guide, support, and maybe even share a laugh or two along the way. Let's be honest, if I'm doing my job well, we won't be seeing each other for long! But in the meantime, I consider it a privilege to be your co-pilot on this sometimes turbulent, sometimes serene adventure. Your journey deserves professional expertise, warmth and understanding. I offer personalized strategies to not only cope but thrive. Together, we'll uncover your strengths, build resilience, and lay the foundation for a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Life presents many challenges to the various domains of wellbeing. The stressors can manifest through negative or difficult thoughts, overwhelming emotions, and ruptures in our relationships with others and our selves. As a consequence, we may struggle with harmful or addictive behaviors, or overly critical self-talk, which may lead to anxiety, depression, burnout, chronic stress, and many other difficulties. Unfortunately, in the midst of overwhelm we often feel disconnected and isolated from those in our lives. I aim to create a supportive empathetic therapeutic relationship that encourages the growth and wellbeing of each client.

People sometimes feel they are alone and that no one understands what they’re going through. They might just ‘push through’ because they believe they have to, try things that work for others but not them, or forget what’s helpful to them anymore. These efforts can leave anyone feeling stuck, tired, and looking for change. I use an approach that is practical, strengths-focused, and recognizing the whole individual. My aim is to build a therapeutic relationship of understanding, possibility, and direction to help folks get closer to what they want in life.
