Honestly, life is hard and filled with many challenges. Everyone could use help navigating these everyday challenges or traumas. I embody an authentic and real approach to therapy. My ideal client comes to therapy ready to look within themselves. This may look like taking risks, expressing their authenticity and being open to applying skills learned in therapy, outside of the room. It is important that the client remembers to bring their true self into the room, flaws and all. Only then can we begin to heal, grow and thrive.

I am experienced in working with couples that may be struggling with connection, communication, betrayal, or simply supporting relationships to adapt and grow through the stages of life.

It's never too late to learn how to create healthy connections with one another. When working with couples or individuals, I have experience working with complex PTSD, faith-transitions, interpersonal relationships, depression, anxiety, life transitions, self-compassion, and self-empowerment.

How on earth do you choose from all these therapists? We must all start to sound alike! I recommend you call at least 3-5 of us, or email even more, and trust your gut feeling. It's important to help you feel emotionally safe with me, in order to share your struggles, so that you don't have to carry them alone anymore. I strive to help you get to the root of your pain, in order to heal it, rather than put a band aid on it. Many people seem to believe that they will have to carry the effects of prior trauma forever. I want you to know that is not the case. You CAN heal.

My passion is connection, and my goal is to help you sift through the myriad of things that exist to get in the way of that connection. I work from a dual lens of attachment and intersectional feminism that seeks to understand how our relationship with our caregiver forms the way we seek interaction, and in which ways our social location is impacted by systems in our world. In other words, the melding of our past and our present. While I don't believe in eliminating relationship challenges, I do believe that our understanding of ourselves helps us to navigate challenges in a way that feels safe, manageable, and easeful.
