Do you feel stuck, trapped, dissatisfied? Has motivation become a problem? Are you plagued by worries? You are not alone. We all encounter periods when we feel "boxed in" by life. I believe people seek therapy when they come to a point where they have tried everything they can think of and nothing has worked to their satisfaction. This is not a sign of illness, disorder, or weakness. On the contrary, it is often at this point that a person is on the verge of a new way of seeing themselves, their problems, their life.

The world was already complicated...and then COVID happened. I am passionate about helping my clients regain a sense of control, empowerment, and calm in their lives. I specialize in working with adults impacted by depression, anxiety, family stressors, addictions, and disordered eating.

I strive to help my clients who feel helpless and broken to feel empowered through coping skills, mindfulness, self expression, and assertiveness.
