I utilize the therapeutic relationship to support clients to help support them in getting through life challenges and to work through what is not serving them. I believe therapy is a team effort to work together and engage in the process together. I use a holistic approach helping clients achieve overall wellness.

Maybe you’re dealing with painful emotions by using strategies that–wait for it–generate more pain. Some of my clients feel so overwhelmed that not existing is starting to feel preferable. Others are managing unwanted, uncontrollable thoughts about horrible things that have happened or might happen. Many are figuring out who they are beyond societal and family expectations. Growth and self-discovery are awkward processes, so let’s walk into that awkwardness together and see if we can make things a bit more bearable.

I have been a therapist for over 20 years and use a method for helping others that is compassionate, collaborative, and goal oriented. I use a cognitive-behavioral model and will help you look at multiple aspects of problems: environmental factors, stressors, and the heart of cognitive therapy- your thinking patterns. Some might think that CBT doesn’t give credit to our emotions, but this isn’t the case! In fact, therapy starts with exploring the painful emotions that bring people to therapy. Before changes happen and goals are set, I want to fully understand what clients are going through by listening with empathy and compassion.

Therapy can help you work through challenging life experiences, both past and present, to help you feel better and to accomplish your goals.

As a therapist specializing in anxiety and trauma in women, I know it might feel like you’re stuck in these cycles.
Do you feel anxious just thinking about the demands of your day-to-day life? Are you wondering if your past experiences might be impacting the way you feel today? Most people who start therapy feel stuck repeating the same painful patterns but aren’t sure how to change them. Maybe you don't look forward to much or you feel like you want to escape your life and your commitments. Perhaps you’re struggling to relate to others, like you can’t truly connect to your loved ones. You might feel overwhelmed by emotions like anger, irritability, guilt, or anxiety.

Welcome! As a licensed therapist I am continually inspired by witnessing clients make sense of difficult life experiences, past or present. Maybe this is a starting point for you and you are new to therapy, or recommitting to therapy after a break. Sometimes what holds people back from seeking help is self judgment (‘I should be able to handle this’), or fear that things won’t improve. You are certainly not alone, help is available, and change is possible.
