Staying sane in an insane world is crazy-making! As our modern culture has become more complicated, so have our lives. Living at a fast pace, we may find ourselves feeling isolated, lost, or even hopeless. In these times I believe it is courageous to seek therapy when something "feels off." You already possess the skills you need to live the life you envision. I can help you identify and move past blockages and emotional clutter. My role in this process is to provide engagement and collaboration as we approach the discomfort, grief, or fear with curiosity and compassion.

Choosing a therapist is an important decision. Therapy tends to work best when there is a strong relationship between you and your therapist. My goal is to create an environment where you feel seen, heard, cared for, and understood. Processing your experiences in therapy helps to deepen self-awareness, and can positively impact your mood, functioning, and interpersonal relationships. The therapeutic process can be both challenging and rewarding, so the ideal client is one who is up to the challenge.

Clients find me to be both curious about their experiences and respectful of their readiness to share difficult information. I enjoy interacting with, and learning from, people of various backgrounds. I work collaboratively with each client to determine the goals and expectations of sessions. My eclectic style incorporates cognitive and humanistic perspectives. My own experiences with anxiety and PTSD have led me to find ways to help others manage emotions and heal from trauma and loss. My focus is about the process of healing and empowerment, with a spotlight on physical and emotional safety.

Being constantly in the trenches with your mental health without the right help, knowledge, or support can feel like a helpless battle.

Together, we will work together to get you free of the hole you find yourself in. As a therapist, I am known for both my compassionate wisdom and ability to get directly to the heart of the struggle- helping guide you towards your goals and dreams. Using a combination of top down and bottom up approaches, we will work together to find healing.

Is your relationship worth fighting for? Your fights have become intense and you can feel one another pulling away. Your relationship hasn’t been working for a while now and you don’t know if that can change. Feeling good together is getting overshadowed by pain and resentment. It’s time for you both to put all your cards on the table and see if you’re able to come out on the other side, together.

No matter what’s bringing you to therapy, it’s safe to say something’s not going the way you’d like. You might be feeling frustrated or overwhelmed, unmotivated, confused, riddled with dread, or tired of the same patterns playing out both internally and in your relationships. Or maybe something’s just not going the way you thought it would and you don’t even know how or where to start changing it. On top of that, trying to find a therapist can feel daunting as well.

I believe that through real connection and authenticity, we can get to know ourselves in a deeper way in order to make lasting and impactful change.

You’ve been told a lot about who you should be, how your life should look, or whom you should date or love. You feel like you can’t hear your own desires over the noise of other people's opinions or suggestions. You can’t find that inner sense that guides you past the anxiety that is constantly weighing you down. You can see the relationship, job, or sense of confidence in your mind, but feel lost and overwhelmed. You dream of feeling empowered and confident, knowing what you want and how to get it. You have a brilliant light–let’s help you shine!

Therapy is about exploring, experimenting, discovering, and being vulnerable. In our therapy together you will learn to increase self-compassion and mindfulness, and your ability to sit with uncertainty and bear witness to uncomfortable feelings and body sensations. You will gain awareness of the role negative core beliefs and thoughts have upon mood and learn how to challenge those negative thought patterns. You will learn to set appropriate boundaries by asserting feelings, recognizing wants and needs, and identifying the role shame and guilt might play in causing unhealthy, harmful, stale, and inauthentic behaviors.
