As a therapist, this quote speaks volumes as I do believe that great change comes from working through the daily struggles that we experience: "The lotus is the most beautiful flower, whose petals open one by one.

Are you feeling disconnected and disoriented about how to move forward in your life? Perhaps change has swept through your world and left you in disarray, picking up the pieces and trying to return to a time or place when you felt you had it all together and you knew who you were. Whether it’s an identity crisis, a struggle to adapt to a new role or a profound sense of loss, change often happens in ways that can leave us feeling disempowered and alienated from our own lives. While distressing, change can often be a powerful time to reinvent ourselves in a more authentic way. Psychotherapy and inner work are a pathway through.

Whether you're becoming a student, a parent, an empty nester, pursuing a different career or retiring, changes can be stressful. Finding a new balance can take time. Maybe you've spent your whole week taking care of others and have no energy or interest in the activities you used to love. If you're struggling with reconnecting with who you are or you're feeling burnt out and overwhelmed most days, occupational therapy can help. You might feel like your head if barely out of the water, but we can build you a bridge towards who you want to be.

My approach to psychotherapy is deeply rooted in feminist and structural analyses that contextualize individual "problems" in our social environments. My therapeutic orientation is comprised of an eclectic mix of theoretical models that guide my work, including emotion focused therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and somatic therapy. While I don't practice exclusively from one perspective, I believe that it is my role to be constantly assessing whether or not the work we are doing appears to be helping you to achieve your therapeutic goals. I offer psychological services under the supervision of Dr. Leigh Karos, C. Psych.

Immediate availability for October 2024. Booking for virtual and in-person services- evenings and weekends are available. Option to schedule sessions directly through my website! Life can get overwhelming, particularly when we believe that we must always keep it together. The pressure, the stress, the expectations- it's just too heavy, too much. The truth is, we're not meant to carry it all with us everywhere we go. Often, we don't know how to put it down, take a break, or let ourselves breathe. It can feel challenging, even scary, to unlearn these patterns and develop a new relationship with ourselves.

When I look for a therapist for myself, I think of what I am struggling to make sense of: the death of a family member, a shift at work, changes in relationships, struggles managing the busyness of life... I'm looking to connect to these thoughts, these feelings, these sensations in a way that can help me first understand what is happening. After all, I never know what to do about something standing in my way if I don't know what it is first. The first thing I want my therapist to do with me is to help me see clearly. Then, we can take the time to figure out what to do about it.
