Living in a world of endless flux can make it difficult to reach out and seek help. I assess the forces that shape our psychological distress and consider how building upon empathy and connection can lead to a healthier state of being. My approach focuses on issues of identity, relationships, race, gender, class, and post-human development.

What would life without anxiety, ruminating thoughts, and existential fears feel like? What if you learned to navigate your fears with more finesse and ease? Anxiety is like a bully that follow you around, whispers in your ear your worst "what-if's", and then pulls out the rug from underneath your feet every time. Let's work towards a sense of clarity and stability you've been yearning for since you first started seeking an out from these never-ending fears.

Finding the right support can be challenging. Whether it's changing a compulsive behavior, recovering from a relationship that ended, going off to college, getting married, or finding the pathway to greater self-awareness, I enjoy helping those in times of transition to find the tools they need to make it happen.

Life is difficult, and the goal is not to live an easy problem-free life, but to learn to face the adversities of life and engage with it. Often when we get overwhelmed we either try to avoid our problems, overthink them, or just simply feel stuck. It can be so frustrating when we have dreams and desires, but feel hijacked by our emotions, have trouble focusing, or find ourselves in repetitive patterns that no longer serve us.

There is precious wisdom in knowing when it’s time to reach out for support. The part of you that has led you here seeks a life worth living, a self worth loving, and relationships worth nurturing. My work is about holding up and strengthening that part of you so that its influence can carry you through life’s twists and turns. I’ve had the honor of connecting with children, adults, couples, and families of various socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds. Together, we’ve navigated challenges related to relationship stress, life transitions, self-worth, trauma, and identity, reflected through a variety of symptoms and difficulties.

Happiness is something we find along the way, not something we get at the end of the rainbow. When the pain of staying the same outweighs the fear of change then change will occur. Sometimes we feel powerless and our lives become unmanageable so its important to find support and guidance to help create a life you don't need to escape from. Identifying negative thoughts and patterns and replacing them with healthy alternatives which lead to a deeper, richer and fuller life and lasting recovery. I have over 14 years of experience in the field of chemical dependency, drug addiction and substance abuse.

Taking the first step in finding a therapist requires courage and a desire to not only feel better but also be open to understanding yourself. Psychotherapy is an opportunity to work toward increased self-awareness and a deeper connection to all aspects of your life. When you are suffering, it helps to have support and guidance that can help with finding a new way forward. Exploring your relationship patterns and transforming difficulties arising from trauma, or childhood experiences is a deeply collaborative process.

Seeking therapy can sometimes feel daunting or uncertain, so if you're looking then you've already started the toughest step. No matter what the issue is that you're experiencing - intrusive thoughts, emotion-driven reactions, low moods you can't shake - you have the tools you need to get to where you want to go, and I'm here to help you access and strengthen them. You deserve to be in the driver's seat of your own life, not emotionally chained down by something that is (or feels like it is) outside of your control. I'm here to help you access that control and go from surviving to thriving.

I don't know that life ever works out exactly as we picture. As a therapist, I want to help others find practical, workable solutions to life's challenges while acknowledging their individual histories, family stories and future goals. Whether it is a child struggling with school peers, a teen faced with bullying or an adult navigating personal challenges, the resources needed to cope are found within the individual and are just waiting to be uncovered. I believe that you should guide your therapy experience and work toward goals that fit your life and values utilizing your strengths and beliefs.
