I am passionate about helping my clients develop a heathier self-relationship. Throughout our lives we can accumulate shame and fear, and dismiss emotions and experiences that are challenging to look at. This dismissal of the self can cause inner turmoil, emotional dysregulation, and may keep us feeling stuck in old patterns. I create a safe space for my clients to sit with and process their emotional experiences so that they may live more wholeheartedly, show up for themselves, and show up more fully in their relationships.

Chronic pain, chronic illness, and terminal illness can impact every part of your life. You may struggle with your identity, feelings of grief, fear, anger, anxiety, or hopelessness. Facing health challenges can feel lonely or leave you feeling misunderstood by those around you. At the same time it can be difficult for loved ones to find balance between supporting someone with a chronic illness and taking care of themselves. It can be scary to watch a loved one struggle with a diagnosis, or leave you feeling helpless to support them. But what if you don't have to navigate all of this alone?

The things we struggle with do not have to determine who we are, and they can allow us the opportunity to grow and change. Just like broken pottery repaired with gold, our cracks can become beautiful. My ideal client may be struggling with issues related to mood disorders, ADHD, relationships, trauma or personality disorders. Generally, they realize that things in their life are just not working, and they want to learn new ways of behaving, thinking and relating to themselves and others to make lasting changes. My practice with clients is collaborative and supportive.

Hi! My areas of interest and expertise include working with people who have survived trauma and sexual abuse. Initially, I build rapport and a trusting relationship with you. One of our first tasks will involve identifying your strengths and what’s important to you; these are major components of allowing successful trauma processing and resolution to occur. I also enjoy working with adolescents; having once been a teen in need of additional support, I am able to empathize and quickly connect with young people. Other topics I support clients with are BPD, anger management, suicidal ideation, and self-esteem.
