Difficult conversations are my specialty. I offer a compassionate and accepting space for my clients to explore the stressors that keep them from being who they want to be. The adults and adolescents that I work with often come to me feeling stuck and uncertain about how to best navigate important decisions in their lives. By connecting to your desires, your needs and yourself, you can learn to put yourself first and live your life for you. Throughout this process, you can count on me to shine a light on even the littlest of wins while you experiment with new ways of navigating the world.

Life can get complicated and there is no handbook on how to handle things like depression, anxiety, addiction and relationship problems. It is important to know two things: 1. you are not alone, 2. challenges are always opportunities to grow and change your life. You are probably here because it's time to "do something different." Let us help guide you through this journey!

Are anxiety and overwhelm preventing you from living your life freely? Maybe you feel like you've been having more bad days than good days. Self critical thoughts and spiraling worst case scenarios crowd your mind. Your friends, family, or partner want to help but they don't know how. Do you feel like no matter how hard you try, nothing seems to work? Have you recently realized, "something has to change here." If you are looking to learn new skills and feel like yourself again, you have come to the right place. I work together with my clients to break this anxious cycle and finally start to do things differently.

I am a therapist that emphasizes action, curiosity and change; clients that work well with me tend to be open to being challenged and interested in challenging themselves and building new skills. They also tend to be interested, as I am, in defining and measuring progress to make sure they are moving forward in their lives.

I have a particular passion for helping people cope with the challenges that can arise during the perinatal period, which includes pre-conception, pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond. I work with many moms and dads and understand how common it is to feel a mix of emotions during this vulnerable stage in life. Many people feel overwhelmed, anxious, guilty, exhausted, happy, and sad... sometimes all within the same day. I use a CBT and ACT approach to provide the most effective interventions to help people not only cope better with “the grind” of the daily tasks, but also to shift from surviving to thriving.

I strive to create a safe, supportive, non-judgmental environment where we can collaboratively explore, understand and clarify your feelings as well as find more adaptive ways to cope and problem solve the issues in your life. I believe that you can’t really understand someone’s present world without understanding their past experiences and how that is negatively or positively impacting their life now.

You might find yourself interrupted by reminders and feel like you're reliving the past. Like you’re always on edge. Your nerves are constantly frazzled, leaving you exhausted by the end of the day. It's tough to relax or unwind when you’re always anticipating the next trigger. Your relationships are feeling it too. Maybe this leads to interactions you aren’t proud of, like snapping at your kids or your partner. This constant state of tension can leave you feeling drained and overwhelmed. You’re looking for a glimmer of hope. Your experiences have shaped you, but they don't have to dictate your future. I'm here to help.

A natural and common response to anxiety can be to shut down and try to avoid difficult feelings and sensations. However, this often results in a smaller, constricted-feeling life, where we are not doing and pursuing the things that really matter to us. Together we will identify your own goals and values, and we will work to help you move toward a more full rich life. I am committed to helping clients learn new, more effective, ways of dealing with anxiety and stress-related issues, including worry that is difficult to manage, social anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, work stress, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

My approach to therapy is embodied in the quote by Sunryu Suzuki: Each of us is perfect the way we are...and we can use a little improvement. This means that I will help you work through any shame that you feel about your perceived problems so that you can integrate the self-awareness that we will together uncover. I am highly attuned to emotional experience and will help you to understand how unmet emotional needs contribute to destructive thoughts and/or behaviors and how self-acceptance lights the way to deeper connections with others.
