I work with individuals who are experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, grief, trauma/PTSD, narcissistic abuse, and relationship issues, as well as those who are simply seeking greater self-awareness and insight. My clients tend to be curious, creative, out-of-the-box thinkers who are highly motivated to create change in their lives. I believe in drawing upon my clients' inherent strengths and sense of resiliency. I am particularly interested in the link between the body and mind, and enjoy teaching my clients practical tools to help improve their daily lives. I am trained in both EMDR and Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM).

Life can at times be challenging and feel too overwhelming to navigate. A relationship with the right therapist can be a transformative experience that allows you heal and continue to grow into the person you want to be. Trauma, depression, anxiety, and life transitions among other day to day dealings can feel paralyzing and feel like the world is burning down around you. Those who work in creative fields can often feel stuck in their work, as well as those in the athletic world. I work to with clients through the foundation of trust and empathy to help them find healing within themselves.

I work with creatives and entrepreneurs struggling with ADHD, depression, anxiety, OCD, career transitions, overwhelm, & chronic illness. You may be just beginning or building your career, or perhaps considering a complete career shift, but struggle with self-doubt and indecision. Regardless of where you're at, the future unknowns can be unsettling. Bravely following your vision while supporting yourself & others can be equally exhilarating & challenging. I specialize in working with individuals in arts & entertainment, tech, music, film/TV, theater, AI, dance, design, gaming, poetry, screenwriting, fine arts, production, and more.

You feel pain in many ways: worry, shame, anger, confusion, and sadness. Your past taught you how to respond to these feelings, but problems arise when these responses no longer work. Our first goal in therapy is to understand why you feel and act the way you do. Awareness doesn’t bring change; it brings choice. I focus on emotions because they communicate what we can’t yet speak. Listening to our emotions gives us the power to help ourselves. When you understand yourself, you can make better choices to get what you need. Please see my videos on emotions, vimeo.com/392071078 or motivation, vimeo.com/389807247.

In my private practice, I treat issues of anxiety and panic, past trauma, and sexual dysfunction. While our past can sometimes weigh down our present, my clients and I work together to address, process, and move through issues that might hold them back. Identifying emotions, connecting them to the body, and developing resources to endure the more difficult experiences of life is a primary focus of our collaborative work.

Does your life feel out of sync with who you are? Would you like to feel more content? Let's explore together with curiosity and an eye towards developing a life that fits better. Would you like more harmony in your relationships? We can start to understand what challenges you encounter and how to work through them. You may be living with ideas about yourself that aren't necessarily "true", but based on stories you've been told and internalized from a young age. It is possible to learn about yourself and what you want, and by doing so you can live more honestly, make choices, and not react from a place that feels outdated.

If you are confused and uncertain whether you are on the "right" path in your career, relationships, or important life choices, then therapy may be a great avenue for you to explore and find the answers that are unique to you. Sometimes it can be really hard to "hear" or "feel" your truth, your intuition, and gut instinct when doubt clouds your mind and the internal dialogue and chatter are loud and debilitating. Having low self-esteem, or feeling insecure in relationships and goals in life can be stressful and anxiety provoking.

We’re all a little flawed, and that’s okay: there’s beauty and depth in imperfection. To misquote Leonard Cohen, the cracks are how the light gets in. Problems arise, however, when we become unduly burdened by these experiences. Our responses to suffering, and the ways we try to protect ourselves from pain, can leave us feeling stifled and trapped. Therapy can help us chip away at these accumulated layers, and begin to articulate new, more comfortable ways of being in the world.

Therapy for artists and creatives. Are you an artist or creative individual struggling to break free from anxiety, depression, or self-criticism?

Whether it's the fear of failure, performance anxiety, or the constant worry about the future, anxiety can be a significant obstacle for creative individuals.

I take a personal, relatable approach to working with all of my clients. I sincerely care about helping my clients gain clarity and insight while progressing towards developing the skills necessary to independently problem solve in the future. I do feel that we sometimes need to look backwards and work through past issues in order to lay a better foundation for the present. I will always seek to speak the truth with grace, even though it may be difficult to hear, in order to ensure that my clients have the information they need to make the best decisions for their situation.

At the end of the day, most, if not all of us want to feel a sense of safety, inner peace, and freedom. Traumas at all stages of life rob us of these basic needs, and can instead make us feel anxious, depressed, and unmotivated. I will work with you to uncover the parts inside that long to feel safe, joyous, and free. While these parts may feel far away, together, we will get in touch with them.

Our struggles and stories we tell about ourselves can be entry points to where our patterns, thoughts, values, actions, attitudes, reactions, and emotions originate. Our struggles can stem from: our families, our childhood, our communities, our cultures, and more. My role is to help my clients explore the stories and struggles that continue to make them feel stuck, and that prevent them from living the lives they are seeking. By learning about ourselves, we can find more agency, choice, and satisfaction. We can discover new ways to relate to ourselves and others.

Were you taught that gender is binary, but know in your heart that isn't true? We know now that gender is fluid, a spectrum that encompasses a wide range of identities from gender non-conforming, to agender, and genderqueer. Individuals within the trans and non-binary community often grapple with a fear of embracing their authentic selves, while contending with societal & familial pressures. However, concealing our trans and non-binary identities is unsustainable. I believe that everyone exploring their gender identity deserves a safe, empathetic space to navigate their own internalized transphobia, because trans is beautiful!

I work with individuals and adolescents as well as couples, providing a safe space for an exploration of inner distress. Through an eclectic mix of theories, I have watched my clients move from depression, anxiety, addiction and other difficult patterns toward a newfound sense of peace and harmony. This doesn’t come without its own brand of sacrifice, it takes a lot of self-honesty, self-acceptance and courage.

Tired of searching? Feeling anxious, dissociated, or unmotivated? Maybe you feel like you can't focus or you're struggling to stay present? Are you repeating patterns & wishing you could break the cycle? Maybe you want to dig more deeply into who you are. Sometimes we aren't sure what causes our distress, but we can sense we're not reaching our potential for health, happiness, or success. Even when we know the cause, change can still feel impossible. That's where I come in. My job is to listen, help you understand the root causes of your difficulties, break unwanted patterns, & teach you practical tools to help you change your life.

I am all about developing peace and joy in life, but that can seem beyond reach when you are dealing with depression, anxiety, addiction, or some other psychological discomfort where underlying issues get activated. Current stressors could activate habitual thoughts and behaviors. Problematic childhood events and unprocessed trauma might get triggered and repeatedly affect all areas of your life. If you are ready to do something about it, psychotherapy could offer relief and a better life quality.
