It's easy to compare our inner struggles to the polished exteriors others present. That sense of isolation can make us mold ourselves into versions of what we think we should be, losing touch with our true selves. When we push away the darker aspects of ourselves, we also dim our inner light. Together, we can explore the real "You" beyond the facade, allowing the parts of you that long to be seen and understood to come forward.

Therapy is hard work. It is also full of humor, humanity, clinical guidance, check-ins, a-ha moments, advocacy, and a sprinkle of magic I have been told "she will meet resistance with patience, gentleness, and freedom for you to exist exactly as you are" in the therapy room. You deserve to show up exactly as you are; all forms of you are always welcome. I've found when you show up as your most authentic self, the work can really begin. Asking for help may be the first step in calming the ongoing chaos.

Therapy is about being SEEN and UNDERSTOOD, perhaps for the first time--but certainly not the last.

Dealing with addiction can be very difficult and overwhelming to deal with alone. Addiction doesn't look the same for everyone but anyone can overcome addiction. Drug abuse and addiction problems can be devastating, not only to the individual but to the family as well. Knowing that you are not alone is the first step to ease your mind. Everyone with an addiction problem has their own story that should be individualized not judged but heard. Identifying the biological, environmental, behavioral, and social causes and consequences of drug use and addiction is just some of the steps that we will face together.

If you’re in chronic pain (physical or emotional), feel left out of life, or find yourself doubting your value or ability, I could be a good fit. My clients find me because they struggle managing pain, illness or fatigue. They often are depressed, anxious & isolate, with insomnia, grief or panic. They can struggle at work, home, socially & in their own headspace & heart. There can be layers of trauma. All of my clients come to me with hope, seeking a higher quality of life. I love my work because I get to see this happen - the models I teach are effective & work. If you want out of this downward spiral, I can teach you how too.

We all have aspects of our personalities that have been repressed, ignored, or unrealized, and this can cause painful psychological distress. When these aspects are brought to the surface in a safe, caring therapeutic environment, they can be addressed and integrated, resulting in a more fully realized human. This is what I do.

Life isn’t always easy-in relationships, perhaps in your job or career, and sometimes within yourself. You might feel stuck or lost, even though on the surface, you appear to be doing fine. You hide your emotions due to the fear that others will use it against you or perceive you as weak. You are exhausted from feeling not good enough, like a failure or that something is wrong with you. The noise of everyone else's expectations (and sometimes your own) makes it impossible to figure out what you truly want. But I'm here, and we will figure it out together.
