My job as a therapist is to fill my bag full of tools to offer you, in order to help facilitate the growth and healing you desire. Whether it is Ketamine Assisted Therapy, EMDR, or mindfulness, there is a path to healing for everyone. Life challenges can cause us to lose touch with our inner voice and leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves. I help individuals and couples to reconnect to that inner voice that guides you towards what you want, what you believe is right, and towards any healing that may need to be done.

I use narrative practices and the strength of the therapeutic relationship, to help bring those hidden strengths forward and find new ways of coping.
Change can feel impossible. No matter how badly we want it, we feel stuck in a loop trying the same things over and over again. We want a sense of relief, for things to feel easier, but it can feel hopeless constantly fighting the same battles. Despite this, I do believe we are all inherently resilient. We possess unique strengths, but they get shielded from our view because societal expectations and past experiences box us into how we think we ‘should’ be or act. We no longer see ourselves as who we actually are, but rather who the world has told us we are. We want to hold more hopeful beliefs about ourselves and the future.

I truly look forward to meeting you. I feel excited every time I meet with a new client. It is the beginning of a journey we take together. It is an interpersonal and strengths based relationship in which it is safe for you to discover your fullest potential. I am kind and caring but wil also encourage you to look more deeply into your blind spots. I believe in respect, kindness and humor. I treat my clients as human beings, not as a diagnosis. I especially enjoy working with individuals feeling that something from their past is holding them back. And with couples who are feeling stuck. I love helping clients to find true happiness.

I know that beginning psychotherapy can feel scary. I hope to provide a space that feels warm, non-judgmental and helpful. I tend to work with adults, adolescents and couples who are experiencing trauma, depression, anxiety, grief and many of the other effects and challenges of the world we live in. Overall, I believe that navigating these experiences feels better when we get to work through them with someone else.

I view therapy as a place and space that is sacred. It is the place that is safe and allows you to be your authentic self without judgement or pretense. This is the place where the unspoken finally becomes spoken in a way and manner that is transparent, dignifying and healing. The goal is for you to be honest about your values, dreams and expectations of your life and we partner together to get it figured out. Our work will create a space that is compassionate, nonjudgmental, accepting, affirmative and empowering for each one of my clients in order to move beyond the problem story and find their preferred identity.

I offer phone and video sessions to people struggling with relationship challenges or going through an overwhelming life transition. These difficulties can bring about anxiety, hopelessness, and a sense of isolation, but you do not have to face them alone. I want to understand what you are going through, and together, begin to create conditions allowing for change where it would be beneficial. We will determine how to make adversity more manageable, and work toward a sense of competence, relief, and even joy. Taking the first step toward making changes in your life is the beginning of a journey of self-discovery and empowerment.

As a mother of four children - two college students and two middle schoolers, I understand well how challenging parenting can be at each stage of a child's growth. Working as a preschool teacher, parenting instructor, and children's department minister, I have developed an interest in the impact of temperament and personality on relationship-building. Drawing from these experiences, I aspire to share this knowledge with you, offering wisdom, compassionate advice, and support to those in need, helping you navigate the journey of love, understanding, and overcoming difficulties.

If the above speaks to any part of you, I provide individual and relationship therapy in-person and online to best support my clients, especially those who identify as empaths, neurodivergent, and creatives as well as to intimate partners who feel disconnected after significant life transitions.
You feel overwhelmed by the pressure to succeed, yet still feel like you're falling behind some invisible measure of "real success." You are over being the giver in your relationships, whether in friendships where you initiate all of the texts or your intimate relationships where you feel more like a manager than a true partner. Your nervous system is spent because you're burned out, but even the thought of downtime gives you guilt. You're ready for something to change on a deeper level so that you can finally understand yourself, accept yourself, and trust yourself, no matter the circumstances.
