With proven healing methods like EMDR, IFS, and coping skills, you can start relating to yourself and others in a healthier way, without the burdens of self-doubt, relationship anxiety, and people-pleasing behaviors.
It’s a hard thing to be a highly sensitive person, and even more so when you’re also balancing the challenges of being a high-achieving woman. It’s all too common that we doubt ourselves or face mental health struggles, navigating the space between feeling both “too much” and “not enough”. Over the years of work that I’ve done, I’ve come to realize that the ease with which we navigate this space is largely determined by our ability to embrace and celebrate our strengths while simultaneously accepting and holding the parts of ourselves that we might not appreciate so much with non-judgment and self-compassion.

Additionally, I am certified in basic training for EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).
Therapy offers a space to discover where our inner observer may be hidden and how we can bring it forward through the unconscious layers. It allows us to identify the aspects of our self-dialogue that contribute to our dissatisfaction and to feel emotions aligned with our experiences. This is the path to change, where we, as a team, can help you embark on the life you've been waiting for. Whether you're dealing with addiction, family conflict, identity issues, lack of passion, anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges, I provide a space where we can address these concerns together.

People are always saying that you seem to be doing ok but they have no idea how much you struggle! Ever since the terrible thing happened you have been distracted, irritable, having nightmares, and you cry at pretty much anything. You are the friend who will always be there for others, but often feel like you are losing yourself in the process. You just want to laugh more, have good relationships, get your grades up or get better at your job. You have hope that you can feel better, but right now you feel stuck because you really don’t know how.

****CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS *** I know sometimes it’s hard to shut off that voice in your head that says you’re not good enough. I also know the stories that we tell ourselves about who we are are (usually) a bunch of bullshit...but even bullshit stories have a powerful effect on you. I want to help you create a more accurate story about yourself. But guess what? That’s not something you can do alone. If you want help managing your addiction recovery, improving communication, walking through trauma, managing anxiety/perfectionism issues or are having difficulties with your relationships, I can walk you through it.

You’ve been putting everything into your relationships and job since you can remember and you are TIRED. Tired of saying yes when you already have too much on your plate, tired of the exhausting task of managing other people’s lives, and just plain tired of not having enough room for YOU in your life. It’s been so long since you prioritized your own needs that you aren’t even sure what having time for yourself would look like or how to get it. Part of you is terrified that people won't like you if you start saying no to their requests and part of you even feels guilty delegating some of these tasks.

Sometimes life becomes challenging. We get sad, depressed, overwhelmed, and often we can’t seem to get back to our “old self.” Sometimes we just need someone to talk through our feelings with no judgement. Therapy is a great way to navigate through these feelings and experiences and I look forward to working through it with you.

My work includes helping clients know a sense of peace within, and increasing understanding about their sense of discontent, anxiety, or depression. This can show up in various ways, such as in relationship problems, anxiety, or old emotional pain. My style is to provide a safe place with a trauma-informed view to exploring client concerns in their path toward a life with a greater sense of wellness. Together we develop more healthy coping skills, ways of understanding troubled parts of the self, and methods to create a life of well-being and joy.
