Together, we can explore your experiences, values, and beliefs to foster self-empowerment and trust, helping you to shed old narratives and stuck points.

It's my belief that people have many of their own answers, they just need the dedicated time and space to process and explore. I assist my clients in understanding and overcoming the challenges that they face day to day. Through a transparent and collaborative therapeutic relationship, I guide clients in honoring their needs and accomplishing their goals. Therapy can be a powerful tool in one’s mental health toolbox. My goal in therapy is for clients to feel empowered to use ALL of their tools including social support, health care, boundary-setting, well-managed medication, joyful movement, and effective communication.

Find the Missing Peace! My philosophy is that emotional pain is a result of feeling broken and incomplete. Therefore, therapy focuses on healing what is broken and seeking what is missing. Generally, we hope that something outside of ourselves will fill the emptiness -- job, money, relationship, food... In my experience filling the emptiness is an inside job. Accepting yourself, with or without those things, allows us to heal and enjoy the "stuff" so much more. My approach is collaborative, working together to explore and remove the obstacles in the way of your happiness and peace of mind.

"The world breaks everyone and afterwards many are strong in the broken places" (Earnest Hemingway). That's why there is nothing I enjoy more than helping people reconnect with their internal power to grow from, cope with, and transform wounds that tend to separate us from our own highest good. Although this life and physical body are temporary, at our core we have a connection to an unlimited Source of power, wisdom,health, and healing.

We can all benefit from therapy, but taking the first step on your mental health journey can feel daunting - that's why I strive to make it as comfortable and welcoming as possible. Whether we're meeting online or face-to-face, my aim is to create an environment where you can truly be yourself. Therapy shouldn't feel like a formal interrogation. I strive to bring warmth and ease into our sessions, fostering a conversational atmosphere where you don't have to watch your words. Being authentic is key to our work together, and I encourage clients to express themselves freely, expletives and all.

Through a feminist and relational lens, I work diligently to empower my clients through their growth process. I believe that counseling should be as unique as the individual or relationship seeking guidance, and we will work together to find an approach that will fit best.

Does your weight interfere with your ability to feel good about yourself? Does your eating feel out of control or a constant source of anxiety? Have you tried diets, only to end up feeling like a failure? No matter where you are in your relationship with food, I can help you calm the vicious cycle of binging and dieting, allowing your body to return to a healthy and natural weight for you. Problems with eating affect every aspect of our lives, from relationships, to physical activity, and most importantly, to the seemingly simple act of enjoying one's own company.

I offer safety, acceptance, support, and challenge as we collaborate on the road to thriving. We often feel stuck, critical of ourselves, and unable to initiate taking steps toward change. The unfamiliar can frighten us into accepting our current circumstances. Let's work together and shift your feelings and thoughts that can lead you toward making changes in your life that get you to thriving! I work with people coping with anxiety, depression, PTSD, inaction, and a lack of connection. Often times folks have spent years of wondering 'what's wrong with me' or 'why can't I be happy'? I want to help you with these questions.

You might look for individual therapy because you experience obstacles that happen again and again; you are trying to figure out who you are and what you want in life. You might be looking for couples therapy because you feel disconnected from your partner or have difficulty communicating; you fight or have difficulty with being intimate. You might be looking for family therapy because you don’t know how to connect with your kids; there is conflict in your family and you don’t know how to resolve it. You might be a person of color, immigrant or second generation and struggle with issues mentioned above.

I believe life and relationships are full of challenging, yet rewarding transitions. These transitions provide us with valuable opportunities to understand ourselves more deeply, and to strengthen our relationships. By recognizing our patterns of behavior and understanding why we have them, we are then able to decide if, and how, we want to change those patterns. I strive to help couples and individuals reach this place of understanding by drawing on their strengths and fostering compassion.

Do you struggle to trust yourself, validate your own needs and feelings, or set boundaries? Did you grow up with an unavailable, unpredictable, or critical parent? Are you quick to take responsibility and blame yourself for relational struggles? Longing to address these issues, process a painful loss, or find freedom from limiting patterns and beliefs, my clients are seeking clarity, healing, and empowerment. Often, we are navigating relationships, family conflict, career choices and satisfaction, and hopes for the future.
