Are you facing recent life changes, a loss of sense of self, or symptoms of anxiety/depression affecting your relationships, daily functioning, and progress in school/career? Do you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and like there's no light at the end of the tunnel? Are you a young adult finding it difficult to cope with life demands of high school or college? Or are you a parent facing challenges with your teenager's independence, self-esteem, or mental health? If you've tried therapy without success, you may wonder if things could ever improve. All of this can feel tiresome and impossible at times.

My approach to therapy centers on building a trusting relationship with the individuals I work with. I recognize that entering in to therapy can be a vulnerable and challenging experience – to speak to a stranger about your thoughts, feelings, fears, and dreams. First and foremost, I strive to create a space that feels grounding, safe, and compassionate. From this space is where I believe individuals can tap in to their inner wisdom, challenge themselves, explore their depth of mind and achieve a greater sense of understanding and peace.

Do you constantly feel like you aren't good enough? If this feeling is getting in the way of your relationships or pursuing a fulfilling & meaningful career, you are not alone. Therapy can help you untangle from unhelpful expectations from childhood and our demanding culture. You may have learned to overwork yourself or perhaps felt that it's not even worth trying. While you may not have chosen these beliefs, they may be getting in your way of living your best life. Learning to recognize and understand the beliefs that may be holding you back will allow you to get unstuck and live more fully and authentically.

If this is your first time looking for a therapist, or continuing your journey into self discovery finding someone to connect with may feel like a difficult task. I believe that the most important step in finding success in therapy is connecting with someone who understands you and can hear your perspective and respectfully challenge your thought process. Whether you are someone who comes to this setting thinking, “I don’t even know where to start,” or are coming with a list of tasks to begin working on, I would enjoy getting to know you.

Have you thought about seeing a therapist, but the idea of talking to a stranger stops you from taking the next step? Perhaps you have needed this for a long time, and you have finally decided to take the next step? My style is warm, collaborative, and down to earth. Lets face it, we live in a stressful society where we need additional support. I know reaching out can be difficult so I try to make the process as simple as possible. You can call, email and/or text me to set up an appointment. I maintain a highly responsive, accessible, and concierge-type practice so you can have as much or little support you in along the way!

It takes strength to admit that life has become unmanageable, that your previous ways of coping are less effective than they use to be. The first step to healing is acknowledging that those negative thoughts and feelings have been impacting your ability to lead the life you want. The next step is to ask for help. While asking for help can be overwhelming, I provide clients a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental atmosphere in which to explore their path to healing. I offer a strength based and person centered approached to treatment. I will work with you to meet you where you’re at and help you reach your wellness goals.

Not accepting new clients
My ideal client would have moderate level of self-awareness, previous exposure to therapy or some form of self-help program as well as a willingness to learn new coping skills. This client would have an identified area of struggle in their life in which they are actively seeking to learn new ways to approach and interpret their current life circumstances. Possible areas of focus; substance use, relationships, identity, past trauma, attachment, boundary setting, work life balance. They would be willing to commit to consistent sessions to explore and reach a deeper understanding of themselves to increase overall life satisfaction.
