“Be easy. Take your time. You are coming home to yourself" (Nayirrah Waheed). Taking steps towards our own liberation and healing is our bravest act of self-love. If pain and trauma enter through relationship, then healing comes through cultivating more honest connections with ourselves, others and the earth. If pain and trauma come by way of the stories we've been told, then liberation comes by creating new stories to tell. We find a way forward when we are given a space to breathe, work through feelings, move through stuck places, and find language for what happened to us.

I believe that the working relationship we establish is the foundation for the changes you seek in how you view yourself and how you engage with others.
Welcome to my practice. People often seek out a therapist at a time of crisis such as a loss, transition, career change, or relationship problem. Therapy can be helpful with many such situations, and can also serve to cast a wider view on recurring themes in our lives. Thus, it can be just a few sessions, or a longer-term working relationship. I welcome, and honor, clients of all backgrounds and identities. I strive to provide a safe, open, respectful, and warm environment for you to explore your concerns. As a licensed psychologist, it is my privilege and my responsibility to offer a professional perspective on your concerns.

Therapy is a space to bravely share your story, to vulnerably explore your strengths and growth areas, to boldly challenge each other towards fully-embodied growth, meaning, and connection. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, work stress, grief and loss, personal or professional identity, relationship problems, life stage transitions, general stuckness/burnout, I am here to support you. We will collaborate together to decide what it is you would want more or less of in your life. We will set a plan to get you closer to your goals with each session, while having some laughs & fun along the way, too.

The most important aspect of successful therapy, more than orientation or modalities used, is the relationship between client and therapist.
I believe the therapy space is a sacred space - a time focused completely on you, where you are supported, listened to, and seen. Navigating life is complex, but it doesn't have to feel hard. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, feelings of low self-worth, or desiring to heal from past trauma, my approach is the same. You will be met with deep care and compassion, as well as a desire to understand what is bringing you to therapy right now. I will also challenge you in sessions to help you see unhelpful patterns and core-based beliefs that are inhibiting your growth, happiness, and well-being.

Feeling unhappy in your body? Feeling like you are using drugs and alcohol to cope with life? I specialize in working with women and adolescent girls who are experiencing struggles around body image, their relationship with food, and substance abuse. So many women don't feel comfortable in their own skin. Food, drugs, and alcohol can be a way to cope with this experience. As women, we receive a wide variety of messages about who we are vs. who we should be. Holding onto these messages is at the root of many struggles in our daily lives.

I work best with clients who are looking for a liberation focused, conversational approach to therapy & who are interested in being challenged to grow in their current situations & supported in healing old wounds.

In this time of unprecedented loss and stress due to COVID-19 and other world events such as accelerating climate change, I can help you deal with anxiety and depression.

In my psychotherapy practice, people have achieved new levels of personal freedom and self-esteem. Together, we can enrich your quality of life and enhance your creativity. Integrative healing encompasses body, mind & spirit. We all deserve to be happy in our bodies and our lives. I work also with couples to resolve relationship issues.

A strong therapeutic relationship is essential, and I want to provide a non-judgmental environment where we can work together, learn, grow, and change.
Human flourishing involves movement and growth. Throughout life, we become stuck and lose our direction. Anxiety, depression, or grief can take a huge toll on our lives and well-being. Embracing change is essential for growth, allowing us to discover new joys and pleasures while also letting go of things that no longer serve us, like relationships or habits. This process can bring both joy and sorrow. As a therapist, my goal is to help integrate these experiences to embrace a movement toward growth.

I serve a wide range of clients. I believe individuals are more than an inflexible set of theories. Thus, I strive to foster a therapeutic relationship above all else. I think this is the essential aspect that a clinician can bring to all therapeutic endeavors. Additionally, though I will contribute a proficiency in psychology to our clinical association, I merely assist you in realizing the change you want to see. I feel you are the expert regarding the circumstances of your unique situation. Consequently, I take pride in assisting individuals in dealing with life’s challenges.

A solid therapeutic relationship is key to successful therapy.
Fall means new routines and settling into school, and for some kids and parents, hard transitions. For adults, the season can feel like a new beginning, but what if you are unsure where to start? If you are looking for support for yourself, your child or your family, I have weekday openings. Therapy with me is a collaborative process. I want to hear about your hopes and dreams and co-create a plan for you to meet them.
