You might be looking here because you're tired of feeling overwhelmed or unsatisfied with where you are in your life. Maybe you've had a recent experience or loss that is causing pain. Or maybe something happened a long time ago that's continuing to impact how you feel. Perhaps you don't like the way your mood is impacting your relationships, your family, your job, your life. Or possibly you've heard some things about therapy and you're willing to give it a try. I'm here to help you through the process of better understanding yourself and working towards making the changes in your life you want.
I strive to provide a warm and supportive space. My approach is collaborative and focused on meeting your individual needs. I believe developing a trusting therapeutic relationship is essential as it allows people the support to grow, try new ways of thinking and being, gain self-understanding and self-compassion, and make lasting changes in their lives.
I specialize in working with grief and loss; emotional, physical, and sexual trauma; relationship concerns; family of origin concerns; parenting stress; life transitions; and mood disorders. If you feel I might be a good fit with what you're seeking, please reach out to schedule a consultation.
