If you have come to this site. . . remember to breathe. . . in a way that you know you are breathing. . . I remind myself of this on a regular basis. . . There is more to you than you might think. . . Therapy is an invitation to re-discover a compassionate, curious, and wise energy that was always within you, but blocked by well-intentioned and sometimes extreme parts of you. I believe you deserve some sense of how I work. I also believe a good therapist continues to do their own work. . . which is why I meditate and meet regularly with trusted colleagues and we literally take turns being therapist and client with each other.

As an individual and couple therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor, EMDR trained therapist and Certified Integrative Wellness and Life Coach, I believe we all possess the inner strength and ability to make positive changes in our lives. Together we can explore life events, relationship difficulties, or behavior patterns that are leaving you feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unhappy. Through our time spent together in a supportive and safe environment, I can help you to discover new insight and understanding, while learning new ways to approach life or relationship challenges.

Unique to my practice is my ability to mirror your innate wisdom. With this relational focus, whether you are coming in for individual or couples therapy, you'll begin to work through issues, and increase your confidence while doing so. I hold a safe space that is conducive to exploring those scary and sometimes dark places that we fear, like broken heartedness, and come out the other side with tenderness, wisdom, & contentment.

As a Somatic Counselor, I work from an understanding of how our thoughts and emotions are necessarily intertwined with our body - internally with brain wiring and externally through behaviors that communicate when words do not. My focus is challenging emotional states and helping adults, partners, and families resolve what the resulting behaviors may be trying to communicate. Specifically, I work with anxiety/ptsd, depression, anger, health crises/fear of death or abandonment, low self-esteem, and grief. Together we choose methods that feel like a fit to meet your circumstance. Ultimately, the goal is empowerment.

I provide evidence-based treatments in a warm, client-centered environment.

You come home from work and can't unwind - the stress of your day is keeping your thoughts churning and your anxiety up. You’re regularly on edge and binge-watching Netflix & drinking wine is not really working. It’s hard for you to enjoy your kids and partner because the anxious thoughts overrun you. It’s difficult to say no to co-workers and friends because you don’t want to let anyone down, but you’re exhausted. The to-do list keeps getting longer and there’s no real time for you – the life you thought you’d be living seems just out of your grasp.
