It's hard being a human, and sometimes we experience a great deal of suffering. The pleasant news is the body/mind and human spirit have the innate capacity to heal. Yes, even when it feels like you're totally stuck, when your nervous system is overwhelmed, and things seem to be falling apart around you. Perhaps it's been years or decades feeling like you're fighting against the current of life. Maybe its more recent events and circumstances have activated an energetic buzz of fear/anxiety/grief/longing... Whatever the case may be, you're here NOW.

I work most often with individuals who are seeking to gain a better understanding of themselves in order to live their most ideal, comfortable, and fulfilling life. Questions like "Why do I feel this way?", "How do I change this?" or even "Who am I?" are what I hope to help you answer. I believe that major life experiences and relationships with others can significantly impact mental health, so I often focus on themes of attachment and trauma, while using techniques from various models to best fit your individual needs. You are the expert on you, so I welcome clients to take the lead.

This is an incredibly beautiful and complex time to be alive. It is easy for those of us who care deeply to become overwhelmed with all the suffering and chaos that surrounds us. The world needs healers and dreamers now more then ever. If we want to heal the world, then we must first offer that same love to our own hearts. I feel passionate about finding creative ways to keep our hearts open for the pain of the world without shutting down.

Life can be incredibly hard, but it’s even more difficult when we are struggling alone. Through counseling, I invite you to take time to pause, explore your feelings, and move forward with curiosity and hope. I bring a calm, safe, intentional presence to therapy and meet you where you are, without judgment.

I work to create a warm, caring relationship, so that clients can find personal insight, healing, and balance. I encourage clients to work at their own pace and comfort level, using the discoveries and insights from a variety of fields to help clients work toward deeper, lasting emotional healing. I know that most people are not merely looking for a few extra coping strategies, but want real longer-term relief. If you are looking for more than another round of affirmations and deep breathing, I may be a good fit for you.

Congratulations on taking the first step on this journey. I know it can be difficult to reach out for help! I work best with those looking for spiritual growth, feeling lost and out of place in this world. In terms of diagnoses, this can be anxiety, depression, substance use, or past trauma. It is my greatest honor to be able to help people move through their difficulties to find their highest expression of self - true self energy. Where appropriate, I am trained in and offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, as well as Psychedelic Integration Therapy.

I have a personable style of working with people which allows them to quickly settle into the therapy process. I focus on helping others learn how to rely on their inner resources which will define their true personality and recognize the beliefs or behaviors which hold them back from their full potential. This opens up the process to build new skills, a stronger self esteem, regain self confidence and a real sense of direction. With a renewed sense of personal strength people build healthier, happier relationships with family, friends and coworkers, and pursue vocations with greater success.

I genuinely believe that no matter what you’ve gone through, you have immense potential to thrive. Through our sessions, I help clients identify the parts of themselves that have mastered the art of distraction, denial and destruction. However insight into an issue is only one part of the process. I partner with my clients to empower them with the tools they need to challenge unwanted patterns, to overcome dips in confidence and to show up as their most authentic selves in every space and relationship they occupy.

It can be scary to admit that something in your life isn't going right. Maybe you have found that the feelings of insecurity, hopelessness, or dread just won't go away, no matter how much time and effort you put in. I understand the embarrassment that can come with talking about our perceived pitfalls. Every person experiences their own hardships, and we all need the proper time and space to work through them.

My mentor says, "Therapy is designed to make you healthy, not happy in the moment," and that has become my philosophy in practice. Therapy in it of itself is an act of bravery as it demands flexibility and challenges you to explore increasing self-awareness. It is my goal to provide support for acceptance of where you are and support towards where you want to be. My clients tend to be motivated, engaged, and active participants in a collaborative process to achieve their therapeutic goals.

If you find yourself hurting and stuck in destructive cycles, then you need relief and good care. I believe that much like physical injuries, untreated emotional wounds can get in the way of living to our fullest. Many times the pain can become unbearable and confusing and we may act or treat others, or ourselves, counter to what we know to be true. We can get stuck in destructive cycles or even feel hopeless. Reaching out for support and guidance is essential to becoming free. I believe we can all heal and thrive, despite the depth or severity of the wounds. I would be honored to partner with you in your journey to heal.
