This can be so overwhelming: scrolling through therapist after therapist, trying to figure out the next step. I am a licensed clinical psychologist, and in my private practice, I work with people struggling with anxiety, chronic avoidance, chronic annoyance, PTSD, addiction, relationship issues, or just the drudgery of adult life. I specifically enjoy working with the LGBTQIA+ community and people navigating major life changes. I also now offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP).

My clients see life as a journey of learning, growth, and introspection. You have a spiritual practice or a personal relationship with spirit, land, the unseen world. Some may have had damaging experiences with religion or experienced their childhood religion as disempowering. Others may be having spiritual emergence or spiritual emergency including integrating spiritual practices or plant medicine journeys. Some just want to deepen their understanding of their spiritual experiences and want a supportive ear for processing these experiences.

The thought about talking to a stranger about what’s going on is terrifying. When the process involves an honest conversation about symptoms, family problems, and addiction or other “shameful” family secrets, it can keep anyone from healing. You were taught to keep it to yourself and not cause trouble. To not air family secrets and that emotions are dramatic and useless. Especially the biggest of all- grief. There is nobody that gets to escape grief in this process. It's a myth that any of it has to be painful or overwhelming. And struggling with feelings or needing to heal doesn't make you weak.Nobody taught you how to do this.

Coming home to yourself is a daily practice that can feel impossible amidst the grind of everyday life. When waking up feels like a chore and you're wondering, 'is this all there is?', you know it's time to get support. You deserve to create space for what is being asked to move through you. I help sensitive creatives tune back into your inner wisdom, shed the weight of heavy experiences/beliefs, and live a balanced & beautiful life on your terms.

You want to live your adult life as an adult. Many of us struggle within the familiar loops that were set up with our best intentions, except often the parts of us in play formed in our childhood or adolescence. Do you want the adolescent you to be at the helm of your life or the adult you? With over 18 years in practice, I have come to realize that the journey one embarks on when entering therapy is an exceedingly personal and honorable one. As such, I work very hard to be fully engaged in each and every session to help you realign with the best in you as you navigate your life.

My primary tasks are to help clients become aware of their innate ability to heal themselves and to help them create solutions to problems that may have seemed unsolvable. From a theoretical perspective, my approach is grounded in psychodynamic theory, attachment theory, and the cognitive and behavioral therapies; but above all, my work is pragmatic.
