You are suffering from the pain of grief. Intrusive thoughts about the loss you’ve endured come and go like waves. No one has been through the same thing you have, so no one can relate, and it’s made you feel isolated. It's scary and feels hopeless. Normally, you’re a very driven person, but since your loss, you feel paralyzed. Sometimes, you think of calling or texting them, but then remember you can't. The cycle of wanting to see or talk to them again, knowing you can’t, and having no one to relate to has also brought depression and anger.

It is difficult and very anxiety provoking to make the initial appointment, although, that is the first step towards success! I want to validate that emotional response, and to bring comfort by providing a faith driven approach enlightened with hope and strength for your personal growth and development. I assist my clients to be empowered by their self-worth, and work collaboratively to reach their ideal goal of success and progress. I provide a supportive, humorous, and safe environment where it's possible to connect on a therapeutic level.

“I don’t need therapy, I have you guys!” - Carrie Bradshaw. Whether your friends or partner(s) have tapped out of being your therapist, or if you just need a fresh, safe space to dive deeper - I get it. I am passionate about curating an atmosphere where clients feel comfortable, understood, and heard. Most importantly, I want therapy to be a place for you to show up as your authentic self. I love my work because it was an intentional career shift! Prior to becoming a licensed psychotherapist, I enjoyed a 13 year corporate career in global marketing, leading product launches for Snapchat and Disney (hello corporate burnout!)

Everyday all of us struggle with multiple demands and expectations placed upon us, both externally and from within. Sometimes the demands become overwhelming, and we find ourselves experiencing a sense of sadness we cannot name, questioning our needs and wants, or wondering what our role is. Complexities in relationships create many challenges. Couples can find themselves struggling with a multitude of emotions that vacillate from love, joy and pleasure to disappointment, fear, anger and resentment. Learning how to develop and sustain a connected, fulfilling, intimate relationship can be difficult but well worth the investment.
