Life isn't always easy. Even happy occasions can cause emotional stress and anxiety. Utilizing resources such as counseling doesn't mean you are weak or flawed. Instead, it is a sign of courage and awareness that you believe life doesn't have to be this hard and you are willing to do the work to create change. As a client-focused therapist, my primary objective is to provide a safe and trust-worthy environment where, with warmth and compassion, I will guide you through the exploration of your struggles and help you create a more fulfilling life.

I have a very deep respect for your interest in seeking therapy. It is an honest and brave way to move towards growth. One of my favorite quotes is by Carl Jung: "who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes." Our sessions will be a collaborative exploration of your physical state, thoughts, and emotions to help you find some clarity, direction and healing. I aim for change to be deeper than our thoughts. It needs to be felt and integrated. I use Polyvagal theory and EFT/Tapping to inform the psychological work that we will embark on together.

I appreciate the courage it takes to reach out for help when you are feeling overwhelmed, troubled, or just plain stuck in your life. And I believe that making the decision to seek help during those times indicates true strength of character. I offer a therapeutic practice that is based on mutual respect, and is focused on helping you live life to its' fullest by meeting the goals you bring with you to therapy.

Together, we walk the path of progress and change, taking steps towards becoming the best possible version of ourselves, as often as we can. Call or email me to learn more about getting started!

Our live's might hold experiences that have caused us to feel pain, rejection, and grief. As a result, we might find ways to numb, shame ourselves, and repeat old patterns that no longer serve us.

Therapy is a powerful tool that can help you to reconnect with the different parts of yourself that have been injured, left behind, or forgotten.
