When addressing mental health, it is vital to acknowledge the influence of the environment around us. In recent years, the world has presented us with numerous challenges. I believe in taking a holistic approach to therapy that considers individual experiences as well as the influence of family, community, and society. By exploring these various dimensions, we can uncover insights and develop effective strategies to more easily navigate life. I work collaboratively and compassionately to support clients dealing with grief, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Life can often feel messy and chaotic. My passion is to help bring order out of chaos to facilitate growth and peace. Many of my clients present with concerns related to anxiety, depression, relationship issues, stressful life transitions and circumstances, perinatal mental health concerns, or they report feeling a little “off” and are seeking help to feel more like themselves again. I work best with clients who are engaged and motivated to see changes in their lives, and I have a great love for coming alongside people to help them move towards becoming the best version of themselves.

Everyone experiences wounds in life, be it loss, illness, abuse, a difficult relationship, neglect, or any other overwhelming issue. Sometimes even experiences that "should" bring joy like graduating, starting a new job, marriage, or having children can render us feeling like we are in crisis - or stuck. I work with clients to help them get unstuck from feelings of anxiety, depression, and emotional reactivity. When we can identify the patterns that keep us in pain, we can begin to develop new ways to cope and manage the stress of our lives.

Do you feel stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed in your life? Do you feel like if you could just change that one thing, your life could change? Does your relationship make you feel isolated, even with the one you love most? These are all normal questions people find themselves asking at some point in their lives. I work with children, adolescents, and adults affected by anxiety, relational stress with others, life transitions, depression, grief, and self-esteem. I also work with couples and families who may be experiencing unwanted amounts of conflict or relational stress or who would like to increase intimacy within the relationship.

There’s probably plenty that works about your life, parts that you want to protect at all costs - and you still know that you’re really effing far from okay. For adults with ADHD, therapy can provide relief and steps forward, from you putting words to your pain and letting it be heard by someone who believes you, from learning how your brain works in patterned ways, and from turning toward things you’ve been running from. How your brain works may not be typical, but I'm here for it, with experience, realistic options, compassion and appreciation. You can live, not just keep fighting with your thoughts and feelings.

Taking the first step for help when getting swept up is scary. Whether it is depression and anxiety, family and relationship issues, identity or existential issues, or even career conflicts, I am here to help my clients navigate.
