I aim to work with clients navigating the perinatal phase or childhood challenges, seeking understanding and healing. They aim for balance, effective coping mechanisms, and resilience to thrive in their roles and relationships. They desire a therapeutic alliance that offers empathy, empowerment, and strategies for a fulfilling life. As a therapist committed to the person-centered approach, I believe that you are the expert of your own life. My role is to provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can explore your feelings, thoughts, and behaviors at your own pace.

You smile and say "I'm fine". People believe you because it looks like you have your life mostly together. You even have a hard time acknowledging your problems. You know deep down you're not fine, though. You hate to have people worry about you. You know people care, but it's hard to open up to people and trust that they'll be there for you. You shoulder a lot on your own. Guilt? Yep. People have told you you're great at blaming yourself. You're also great at over-thinking. Questioning and second-guessing yourself is common, and you wonder if there's anyway to really slow down and find a different path forward.

Hello, fellow human! Let’s start here: no one has it all together. Life can feel really overwhelming sometimes! Therapy is a great place to explore this. We can work together to navigate the overwhelm and move towards the clarity you’re looking for. Most of my experience includes supporting people who are managing life transitions, anxiety, depression, chronic medical conditions, grief, and caregiver/parent stress. I've worked with many people who are brand new to therapy. My most recent work settings have been a telehealth therapy program, municipal services, a homeless shelter, and home care agency.

Has anxiety or trauma kept you from having the life you want? Do you find that you feel nervous or angry almost all the time? Perhaps these feelings show up in your interactions with other people, at work, or affect your sleep. You might even find your mind replaying the same disturbing image or sound when you close your eyes or whenever it’s quiet. Or an incident that took away your peace and confidence? Or possibly a series of repeated traumas that have made you question and doubt yourself? You know you have the potential to live a happier life, but you haven’t figured out how. You just wish you were over the past by now.
