Are you feeling so overwhelmed or stuck and you're not sure how to get out of the hole you're in? Or you're feeling intense sadness or anxiety that is uncomfortable and exhausting? Maybe this is stemming from trauma and/or loss and you can no longer ignore it. Working through our issues in therapy is not easy but completely worth it to feel better and improve the quality of our lives. The time is now, you can do it, and you don't have to do it alone.

Perhaps you are here to explore how therapy can help you through trauma, relational stuck points, and cultivating a better relationship with yourself. I would love to be part of your journey as I know that the paths in life can be rocky and sometimes treacherous. At times we just need someone to help us get back up after falling down or just be with one who may have a little bit more familiarity of routes that are walked through certain terrain in life. I may not have the road map. But together we can chart a trajectory that could lead you to better outcomes and a different destination then perhaps that you have been experiencing.

People come to my practice for many reasons, but what we all seem to have in common is a goal to feel more alive and at peace with ourselves and others, and truly connect in our relationships and with what we choose to do in the world. As an IFS therapist I work with people in a profoundly nonjudgmental way, where every past behavior, emotion, and thought can be intimately and compassionately understood. Change and growth then comes from a place of open-minded self knowledge and love... I have personally experienced transformation through this work and have witnessed its power to promote long lasting change in countless clients.

Are you constantly telling yourself, “Be strong!" Do you try to ignore your racing thoughts? You seem to start each day more mentally exhausted than the day before, wishing and hoping for something to change. Maybe you lost a loved one, your child, a pet, were told you have a chronic illness/disease, realized that your relationship is in shambles, are haunted by childhood experiences, or the pressures of your life/ job have begun to take their toll. You have thought of therapy but rationalize with yourself that “it isn’t so bad” and that you can keep trying to “fix yourself” only to find yourself circling in a self-blaming pattern.
