Life is full of transitions and they can be extremely difficult. It can be easy to feel overwhelmed, discouraged and like nothing will ever get better. Even when the transition is your choice - like a new job, going back to school or having a baby, it can feel like you will never settle into a new normal. That can be even more challenging when the transition is not your choice - like divorce, chronic illness, struggling with infertility, or trauma and loss. Transition can be even more overwhelming when it feels like you are going through it alone and don't have any support.

Life is complicated, and for every one of us, there comes a time when we feel lost, alone, or trapped in our circumstances. Whether we are struggling with depression and anxiety, having trouble in a relationship, or weighing heavy questions of our identity and where we fit into the world, sometimes we can't just figure things out on our own. For people in the LGBTQ+ community, couples, and nonmonogamous people, there can be even more challenges to navigate. We all need someone to listen to us, help us untangle the messy bits, and work with us to improve our lives.

With intention and caring, in a non-judgmental environment, I aim to help you explore the parts of yourself that are giving you unease and that may be intimidating to explore, or perhaps to find that hidden confidence inside to exalt your inner potential. We often carry many different identities within ourselves: parent, child, lover, friend…it can be hard to navigate and accept different roles we play.

As the expert of your own experience, you deserve to be listened to and understood. I intend to hold space for all aspects of your unique identities. Everyone faces challenges and obstacles in the world. In therapy, we can explore your thoughts, feelings, and motivations, and how you can navigate the world authentically, while centering your inherent capacity and resilience.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you felt prepared to deal with the stress of everyday life, traumatic experiences, or symptoms of depression and anxiety? It may seem like you have tried everything to take control back and don't know what else to do. You may feel like you struggle in every area of your life. It feels overwhelming, scary, lonely, and even hopeless at times.

In a world where we lack so much control, regaining our sense of self is so important. My goal is to help individuals learn about their mental health and start to take the necessary steps to improve their quality of life. I believe a person cannot truly begin to grow unless they are able to connect with their therapist and understand how their mental health concerns affect their lives. I received my Masters of Social Work in 2020 with a focus on Children, Youth, and Family Services.
