Are you feeling stuck in relationships with your partner, parents, family or struggling with dating? Or maybe your relationships are causing you to feel stressed, anxious, or depressed at times, but you crave healthy connections and want to develop the skills needed to feel more secure and confident.

My therapeutic style is warm and collaborative. In my practice, I help clients develop insight into cognitive beliefs and behavioral patterns that no longer serve them. Maybe you’ve been experiencing depression, anxiety, challenges in relationships or you’ve been stuck in cycles that you struggle to make sense of, cannot seem to break. I am passionate about supporting clients through this healing. I meld both cognitive therapies as well as bringing into awareness the mind-body connection, helping clients heal the impacts of these experiences on the body, as it is my belief that focusing on the mind is just one piece to the puzzle.

Connecting with yourself can bring a greater calm and balance to your life.

As a therapist, I am passionate about walking alongside folks as they reveal their truths and vulnerabilities to themselves. I believe, and have witnessed that people are capable of long standing change with knowledge, support, and connection, and that therapy is a great place for that. You can learn new ways to manage life stressors, feel safe, gain confidence, and live a more joyful and purposeful life. I use cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, and strength-based techniques, while never ignoring the human element and connection where the real change happens.

Let’s be real, life can be hard. The decision to look for a therapist and seek support is a brave and vulnerable step toward taking much deserved time for yourself.

We will work to help you to feel empowered to consciously create a life on your own terms, shift from self judgement to self compassion, and (most importantly) stop taking shit to yourself.

What brings you here? If you are scrolling through these pages, you are likely looking for support, either for yourself or someone you care about.

While working with me you will be received in a warm, non-judgmental, and curiosity filled environment. While considering what brought you into therapy, we will reflect on the circumstances contributing to where you are today. Our focus will be on integrating what has been in order to develop into what can be.

With specialties in addiction and dual diagnosis; including depression, anxiety and trauma history, I take an integrated, holistic approach to care.

This is the therapy space that I provide in order to help shape authentic, loving and accurate self-awareness. I provide nurturance, guidance, affirmation and compassionate reflection in order to help clients feel grounded in their own decision-making.

If life is overwhelming and leaving you drained, you deserve to have a more life-giving and abundant life.
