I work best with clients who are open to understanding the issues which contribute to their struggles. Sometimes these are transitional situations, like a relationship break-up, loss of a job, or moving out on ones own. Other times these issues are related to underlying trauma or chronic life situations which contribute to ongoing suffering and pain. Being insightful and curious about oneself often leads to healing—of depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and relational and intimacy issues. My goal is to provide a therapeutic relationship which helps hold fears, sadness, and anger as we progress along the journey together.

I specialize in communication techniques to help partners de-escalate and resolve conflict while feeling heard and seen by each other. My goal is to help couples build and maintain their connection to one another. Frequently, partners may misunderstand the message that their partner is communicating to them and I am able to translate your partner's words so that they hear the message as it's intended.

There is a myth that it is better to do it on our own; that seeking help equates to weakness. The truth is that no one can live a solitary life while experiencing wholeness. We all need someone to hear us, to see us and not turn away, to provide the support and encouragement that keeps us moving forward. When your thoughts and feelings are out of sync with the reality of your life, change is needed. Therapy provides a safe, comfortable space in which you feel understood, free to explore who you are and what you need to live a happy life. IFS, somatic, mindfulness, and EMDR techniques can help you to heal and rediscover joy.

Hello high achiever, nothing has stood in the way of reaching your goals. Yet here you are feeling lost, uncertain of which direction to go. Somewhere along the road of success, you made some bad decisions, began to sacrifice your dreams and traded your confidence for shame. Everyone’s needs come first; job, husband, kids and you are last on the list. You feel exhausted, burned out and the self doubt has become a deep well that feels inescapable. And that’s painful. You’re in a moment to make a big change, you feel the weight of it, and it’s scary. Finding courage to move feels hard and you just want some guidance.

My passion is for people and their relationships. Eastern thought teaches us that pain is inevitable, suffering is optional; life and relationships have the ability to create struggles in everyday life that creates pain, but it is through our attitudes, behaviors, and meaning that we place ourselves in situations where we create our own suffering. By helping people find the tools to cultivate their unique skills, I believe we can find the hope and fulfillment to overcome our suffering. My focus is on individuals and couples as they search for connection, intimacy, love and success.

Do you have traumatic memories that are unresolved? Do you need a safe person to talk to and help guide you through? If you're having difficulty engaging in new experiences, maintaining relationships, and calming your brain and body you may benefit from EMDR therapy. Our brain and body respond with specific behaviors and beliefs to help us survive traumatic experiences. However, when the traumatic events have passed, but our survival responses continue in healthy environments and relationships they can create dysfunction.

No one would believe you struggle with anxiety or self-esteem because your life looks great from the outside. You're successful, it appears you have it all. So why are you not happy? You may have had thoughts that you don't need therapy, that's for people who look like they're struggling and maybe you should just suck it up and be 'grateful'. I work with high-achieving women to overcome anxiety, perfectionism, relationship challenges, and more. You're not doing it wrong and the answer is not that you need to just do more or try harder. Mental health is complex and no one is immune to struggling with their mental health.
