There are many reasons that a person may seek counseling. Facing hardships in life can be very difficult, especially when trying to navigate them alone. Letting others into our pain and circumstances can be scary, but it can also be a time for immense growth. Therapy can provide both support and hope as a person works towards a greater sense of wholeness and healing.

Life is incredibly challenging, and as a result, many of us can experience feelings such as anxiety, depression, confusion, dissatisfaction, and even a sense of being trapped.

As we process your unique journey together, you will find a sanctuary of empathy, understanding, and unwavering support in my care. I am fully invested in your story, your healing, hearing your truth, and co-creating a soft, compassionate place to land and find joy in your authentic self.

For almost 10 years I have been helping my clients heal from their hurts so they can achieve their goals and move toward greater peace and happiness. I have helped clients suffering from depression. anxiety, trauma, ADHD, and issues surrounding their work, school and relationships. Having been on my own healing path, prior to becoming a therapist, helps me truly connect with and care deeply about my clients and their wellbeing. Individuals who may be hesitant to seek therapy because they are nervous or don’t know what to expect would especially benefit from my kind, calm, approachable, and non judgmental demeanor.

Family building can be an incredibly difficult time for those struggling with fertility. The emotional rollercoaster of months and years of trying, countless exams, medications and procedures can be daunting. Many individuals can even experience trauma from all the physically invasive procedures that occur with fertility treatment. Each month a pregnancy attempt fails you can experience grief, isolation, anger and fear that the dream of building a family won't be attainable. Those able to conceive also struggle with intense emotions during pregnancy and postpartum that can be overwhelming and hard for others to understand.

I have a deep enthusiasm for working with the strengths and abilities of people. I view therapy as a process to improve the overall quality of your life while gaining new insight to how your thoughts and beliefs effect your coping skills. Everyone experiences challenging times, however, when life becomes overwhelming personal growth becomes difficult. My experience has led me to recognize that therapy remains a very individual experience. I aim to created a warm, positive environment where you can share your stories while increasing your overall sense of well-being to develop inner strength.

I work with people from all walks of life who are seeking a deeper meaning to the challenges in life that they are experiencing. I believe that one should incorporate many different psychological schools of thought and spiritual principals in their healing process. Having a broad understanding of both Jungian and transpersonal modalities I incorporate these as part of the therapeutic process including Inner Child work, shadow work, family of origin, Integrative Breathwork, SoulCollage and regression work.
