Stressed, stretched, or scattered doesn’t have to be your normal. The people I work with usually have spent months thinking about doing therapy before taking action. Some hesitate thinking, “I’m just being lazy, I need to be more disciplined, more organized, and stop procrastinating. I just need to try harder.” Others think, “I’m worrying over nothing, it’s silly, I just need to ignore the worry. It’s not that hard.” But it’s not working, hasn’t worked, and it’s fueling the “just try harder loop.” You still feel stressed, stretched, or scattered. If you’ve tried trying hard and trying harder, maybe it’s time to try something else.

Who you are: a millennial individual (or couple) and finally ready to explore therapy. I help you articulate what’s at the root of your concerns: What's important to you? How is your life currently aligned with those values and what is getting in the way? I help you better understand yourself, your needs, and how to get those needs met. It is important to me that the space we create is compassionate, curious, reflective, and interactive. Common issues that I work on in therapy include life transitions, managing stress/anxiety/depression, building your sense of Self, relationship concerns, and improving communication.

Are you not feeling like your usual self? Are stress, work, family pressure, relocation and/or life overwhelming you? Is there simply too much going on? Sometimes our brain won't turn off worrying, sometimes it is difficult to get out of bed or get a good night's rest, other times it is tough to buckle down and focus. If you'd like to feel more calm, more relaxed, less upset, and more happy - let's chat. Therapy can help, even if you're not sure how. My approach focuses not just on having fewer negative emotions, but also on experiencing more positive emotions. I see mental health as part of one's overall wellness.

Stress is a part of life, as are the innumerable demands and expectations that we live with.
As your therapist, my first offering would be creating a safe environment for you, whereby you know that you are being heard, respected, and validated. I respect and honor your wish to find someone to work with; a traveling companion for the road you are on.  I know this first step is a hard one.  I’ve been in your shoes too. Here is what I have learned: connection matters. Feelings matter. Knowing, that someone sees how hard it can be, matters. And yes, expertise matters. If you’ve gotten this far then you are likely wondering- could this person possibly be my/our therapist? Will she understand me/us? Will she care? Can she help?

We offer psychotherapy, biofeedback, neurofeedback, and other services to help our patients navigate and heal from the impacts of chronic stress and developmental trauma.
Chronic exposure to interpersonal tension can negatively affect health and well-being. Living in a heightened physical state impacts our cognitive abilities, mood, self-esteem, ability to form healthy, stable attachments and is associated with increased risk of developing chronic health conditions. By using somatic and psychophysiological approaches to bring the whole self into the healing process, I support individuals whose lives have been impacted by adversity, chronic stress, and developmental trauma to prevent burn out, decrease anxiety, and build resilience so that they can navigate the ebbs and flows of daily life.

We'll do more than just manage the stress: you'll learn to navigate whatever life throws at you without losing yourself by understanding your feelings, building habits that bring ease, and staying connected to what matters to you most.
I help busy professionals find relief from stress so they can regain balance and enjoy life again. When life feels like a never-ending to-do list, it can be tough to keep it all together—whether it's at work, at home, or both. The constant demands leave you feeling overwhelmed, on edge, and stretched too thin. And no matter how hard you try, it seems like it's never enough. Maybe you’re waking up tired, just going through the motions, or not finding joy in things that used to make you happy. It’s as if you’re barely surviving, and you’re longing to feel like yourself again. My practice offers you a much-needed pause.
