There may be times that your life just doesn't seem to be working despite your best efforts and intentions. This may show up in a variety of ways, such as, a sense of meaninglessness or feelings of being stuck in a dead-end job, relationship or destructive habit. Repetitive patterns of thinking and the idea that you should know what to do frequently "holds you in place". In my experience, the fresh insights you are seeking to move you forward in your life can often be discovered when you are given the space, time and support to hear them.

Over the last 10 years I have worked with children, teens, adults, families and couples to overcome a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, anger, relationship conflict, family conflict and struggles with communication.
Deciding to go to therapy isn't an easy decision, but it certainly is a courageous move. Our world often beats us down and tells us that we should be able to deal with struggles on our own. Fortunately, we are made to walk through life's struggles together. I consider it an honor to walk with you and to help you work through challenges that are keeping you from experiencing life the way you deserve. In therapy, I use a positive, strengths based approach to help you reach your goals.

The heart of transformative therapy lies in the relationship we build together.
Hi! I am glad you are here. Some of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by their emotional experience or completely disconnected from themselves. I often see deep-seated shame that is blocking growth. I also see clients who benefit from processing difficult events or relationships from their past, and we often explore the emotional impact of negative family dynamics, which can be influencing current functioning in relationships with self and others. Folks may have a sense of existential dread wondering who they are in this world as they may not have had the space to be fully themselves in a safe, supportive environment.

I often work with people who are experiencing sadness, frustration, anxiety, loneliness, and loss of meaning in their lives. Sometimes they know the cause of their feelings but many times they do not. Developing an awareness, understanding, and compassion for one's lived experience can help heal the pain causing our feelings. The work I do with clients often focuses on emotion and trauma. (I am also a Gottman-certified couples' therapist).

As a mom myself, marriage therapist, and Certified Nonviolent Communication (NVC) Trainer, I've supported countless women, moms, and couples in becoming better allies to themselves and each other, able to advocate for their needs, and to build honest, authentic, connecting relationships.
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.

My true passion involves working with the LGBTQ+ community, ethically non-monogamous couples, and people within the kink scene.
Life presents all kinds of challenges. Whether you are in the midst of a painful loss or simply feeling stuck, you do not have to face your struggles alone! Therapy offers you a supportive space where you can journey down a path of intentional healing. Together we can walk through the difficulties in life and begin to cultivate effective communication skills, build your confidence, and increase your internal awareness. I believe it is my role as your therapist to provide guidance and support that encourages your growth and promotes balance in your life.

Human beings are storytellers. We weave stories from our understanding of our own lives and the lives of those around us. As our minds compose the story it is possible for us to lose track of the plot. Occasionally we find ourselves believing that we are a supporting character in our own lives. You are meant to be the protagonist of your own story. I believe that you are meant to live a life of unique purpose, and that you are worthy of dignity and respect. Counseling can be the place where we recalibrate our thinking, and strengthen the parts of ourselves we keep hidden and safe. Sometimes we need help, and that is only human.

Welcome to my counseling practice. I know that choosing to begin or re-enter counseling can be a difficult or intimidating decision. My goal is to create a collaborative and safe therapeutic relationship where we can work towards your healing and wellness. I believe that distress - however it manifests - is a response to adversity. In working with people I find that the important questions to ask are "What have you been through?" Or, "What have you experienced?" Not, "What is wrong with you?"
