I focus on helping my clients process their experiences, recognize their strengths and resiliency, build awareness of patterns of stuckness, tap into their disposition towards growth and change, and cultivate skills they need to do so. I am particularly passionate about working with anxiety and stress, as well chronic physical conditions. As a former high-performance athlete who has undergone a life-changing injury leaving me with chronic pain, I bring a personal understanding of the powerful relationship between our physical health and mental health and the multi-leveled challenges that can come with major life transitions.

Accepting new clients in my practice -Sometimes it’s easier to say I’m fine – instead of admitting the truth, even to yourself. The truth might be that you are feeling sad or lonely. The truth might be that you are feeling insecure or hopeless. The truth might be that you are disappointed or hurt, anxious or maybe embarrassed. The truth might be that you are feeling ashamed. The truth might be that you are minimizing, avoiding or ignoring core parts of your identity. Maybe you have inadvertently locked yourself into what you think is socially acceptable?

My own journey through illness in my 20's woke me up to the value of our inner world. That a sense of peace and connection to ourselves can give us the strength to face challenging situations and loss. I learned that having a compassionate witness to see yourself through is very empowering and reassuring.

All feelings welcome! Every experience and decision you've made in your life, has brought you to the present moment in time, to the NOW. I am passionate about providing a safe and caring environment where you can feel felt. Helping you connect with, take care of and honor the most important person in your life, YOU. As we all heal and integrate our past experiences, we are able to apply self-compassion, forgiveness and acceptance which we can then radiate to those around us. When we provide that safety and trust to ourselves, we are able to grow confidence, motivation and feel secure.

If you're struggling with insomnia, your might feel consumed with worries: What if I don't sleep another night? What if it just keeps getting worse? As a therapist, coach, and former insomniac, I get it - one of my passions is helping folks heal the root of their insomnia. I also work well with neurodivergent folks who are seeking support with trauma symptoms, burnout, or anxiety / depression. You may be hard on yourself, experience self-blame, have a tendency to people please, and struggle with boundaries. There's a sense that underneath these patterns is a more grounded, self-compassionate and creative version of yourself.

Are you high-functioning and competent on the outside, but a hot mess on the inside? Under your mask, do you secretly struggle with anxiety, not feeling good enough, poor boundaries, a sense of emptiness, and/or difficulties in your primary relationships? If so, isn't it time you cultivated a relationship with the REAL you, the one who has gotten lost underneath all of those long-standing negative emotional and relational patterns? I know you're still in there. And it would be an honor to help re-connect YOU with YOU, so that you can experience more ease, clarity, presence, emotional awareness, and authenticity in your life.
