My approach is compassionate, collaborative and direct. I believe developing an honest, authentic therapeutic relationship is key to making changes, so providing a non-judgmental, trauma informed space is my priority. We’ll laugh in sessions (yes, therapy can be fun!) and work together to identify your goals, highlight and build upon your strengths and insights, and explore concepts like vulnerability, intimacy, and self-compassion.

Maybe you've asked yourself, why can't I shake these feelings? The difficulty concentrating, worrying, sadness, crying spells, feeling empty or just stuck. Or have you thought, when will I get over this? I'm tired of having flashbacks, feeling "on edge" and restless nights. Perhaps you've considered "OK, now what?" after the divorce, unexpected loss, new job, a recent diagnosis, infidelity, or navigating this space of uncertainty and pandemic related changes.

Are you someone who learned that difficult thoughts and feelings are unwelcome and should not be acknowledged? This is a common experience for many people, so you aren't alone. Denying, disconnecting from, or trying to avoid feelings can often be one of the underlying experiences that contributes to relational issues, symptoms of anxiety, loneliness, burnout, and life dissatisfaction. Our feelings actually contain really helpful information. Learning to attune to your feelings can lead to an increase in self-awareness & insight, reduce symptoms of anxiety, and contribute to a more fulfilling life.
