Does life feel like it's harder than it should be? Do you feel like you’re somehow too much or not enough? Do you find yourself thinking “I could just kill myself" a little too often? When you have felt alone in this for a long time, it can feel impossible to imagine a different way of being. No wonder you're seeking relief, escape, or comfort. I am a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern who specializes in working with clients who feel limited by the ways they are living or by the things that have happened to them. The healing work of therapy can reveal the possibilities of a life that feels more free and more meaningful.

I take a compassionate, collaborative approach to supporting new moms, women, and couples. So many moms struggle with postpartum anxiety, depression, and sheer overwhelm at the relentlessness of motherhood and the loss of self-determination in their new life. I help new(ish) moms find compassion where they feel like a failure, value their needs, and find ways to feel like “themselves” again. I also work with intelligent, self-aware women who struggle with anxiety, depression, and self-doubt, and support them in finding calm, center, and self-trust through life's transitions, and to become their own radical ally and best friend.

Many of us find ourselves stuck reliving old patterns and creating needless pain for ourselves and others. Often these patterns, which may or may not be labeled by society as an illness or a disorder, represent our best attempts at responding to harmful circumstances and relationships, trauma, oppression, and other real challenges. Whatever the past or present may hold, our work now is to become aware of our patterns and decide which ones to keep and which ones to replace in service of ease and connection instead of continued suffering.
