Often times we can find these challenges can limit you from taking the next step in your life, and I understand having some of those experiences as well. Perhaps some of those feelings include feeling anxious or down about a variety of things, or perhaps struggling with conflict within your family that make even the smallest decisions seem impossible.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and also offer life coaching and energy therapies. I have specialties working with adolescents and young adults, though enjoy adults at all ages. I have specialized training in the LGBTQ population and much of my passion is working with anxiety and self-confidence. Something I enjoy helping people with is coming out of definition and conclusion about who they are or what their life has to be. Instead of looking for what's wrong with you, I much prefer to ask the question, "What's right about you?" and how can you use to that to create the life you can't wait to get out of bed for every morning?

I believe we are not meant to go alone through life's challenges. Loss, grief, and unexpected changes; sense of purpose or meaning; questions of identity, gender, or sexuality; aging or illness; the role of spirituality in our lives - all of these can feel too overwhelming to sort through alone. In my practice, I offer space and support to bring fears and questions out of the darkness and into a shared, safe environment where they can be faced. I work with adults, teens, and youth ten and older, with a client-centered, strengths-based approach to help you find your best path forward.

“I know what I need to do to feel better”, “How is talking about my problems going to do anything”,...these are just a couple of the reasons why people can be apprehensive about therapy. Let’s talk about what therapy can do for you instead. By working collaboratively we can work together to decrease anxiety and depression, increase self esteem, enhance insight and better understanding of self, as well as to identify patterns of behaviors and thinking just to name a few benefits. Therapy isn’t a magic wand, and you aren’t going to be happy every day, or never experience stress again.

What would it be like to listen to what your body is asking for right now? Including the body within the psychotherapy process is a necessity because our body carries the memories of our personal life experiences. This somatic approach allows for a more holistic and integrated healing process, as it addresses the physical aspects of our mental and emotional struggles. By paying attention to bodily sensations, movements, and reactions during therapy, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and our patterns.
