It takes 2 to know 1. As a therapist, I utilize multiple approaches (for example, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, family systems, strengths based, EMDR) to deliver effective interventions tailored for each indvidual. I will meet you where you are at, and I am committed to getting you where you want to go. Therapy is both a journey and a destination.

My passion is to help those who feel weary and lost. It is difficult to be present and live a fulfilling life when the chains of past events hold us back. As hard as we run and distract ourselves, we also run away from our sense of self. Avoiding pain can grow into unhealthy behaviors and addiction. My intention is to help build a foundation for a meaningful life. Core pieces of the foundation include insight, communication, emotions, and connection. These pieces are vital to maintaining healthy relationships and attaining the love we want. Other important areas to consider are cultural identity, spirituality, and our past.

Know that each of us deserves the space to show up authentically and without judgment, to be truly seen and heard. You are welcome here; you and all the parts that make you uniquely you, including aspects that shine bright and ones hidden away, longing for attention. Two truths that inspire my work are that healing happens together & that you already have innate wisdom for wellbeing.

I know... reaching out for therapy is difficult. The thought of a confiding in a complete stranger can seem weird. But I have high hopes that this will be the start of something beautiful. If you are an individual who feels empowered to help calm your anxieties, lift your spirits, and get rid of anything standing in the way of you living your best life, then you're in the right place.

Most of us go through difficult periods in our lives where we feel overwhelmed, alone, and confused. Sometimes, inevitable events in life, even happy ones, like starting a relationship, going off to college, or retirement, expose the wounds and memories from a recent or distant past that make the current situation painful and unbearable. While we survive those situations and adapt to the new realities of our circumstances, psychotherapy, specifically psychodynamic psychotherapy uses these moments as opportunities for a path for self-discovery and a chance to reevaluate our priorities and find meaning and purpose in our lives.

Life looks "fine" from the outside, but you sense that something is off within yourself, even if you're not sure what it is. Maybe on the inside you're quietly struggling, feeling disconnected and unfulfilled. Maybe you're looking for something more. You can usually figure things out on your own, so you feel frustrated that you haven't been able to resolve things on your own. I help adults and teens (age 14+) who are feeling anxious, depressed, or inauthentic to discover their true selves, learn new skills and feel better in their own skin.

While I love working with women in their 20's and 30's, I am also VERY passionate about working with adolescents and their families! This is such a crucial time in our brain's development, and my goal in therapy is to assist my client's and their parents in learning how to manage the complexities of this dynamic period of life. Teenage years are a time of rapid growth and desire for autonomy. This can be very disruptive to the family system without the proper tools to manage the overwhelming emotions that adolescence is infamously known for, and unfortuantely some teens turn to unhelpful coping tools to avoid discomfort and stress.
