I believe one of the most healing things we can do is understand our stories and how it affects our everyday life and relationships. These experiences can manifest in different ways such as anxiety, emotional numbness, or relationship challenges. The clients I work with have oftentimes experienced complex relational traumas in childhood and dysfunctional family dynamics. Through these difficult experiences, we develop coping strategies and protective behaviors, which may no longer be serving you.

No two people are alike, and I believe that your uniqueness and complexity should be celebrated in the work we do together. I am here to create and hold a space where you can feel safe to lower the emotional walls you may put up against the world and talk about what is REALLY on your mind. I deeply believe in the power of empathy, non-judgement, and (therapeutic!) humor. Together, we can reflect on and explore your unique lived experience to create therapeutic goals that not only assist you in better understanding your present self, but promote changes and growth towards becoming the person you want to be.

Another day of chaos and disaster. It feels impossible to juggle career and family. You rush home trying to shift to take care of the kids. Fussiness, meltdowns, it's a lot to handle and sometimes it feels like your partner doesn't even know the routine or how to take care of things. The exhaustion is crushing you. You're tense yet dragging, on the verge of tears all day. You can't keep doing this. How is everyone else handling things so much better? Do they second guess their every decision?

Do you feel life is spiraling out of control? Or you have to be everything to everyone else but feel alone when you’re in need? Are you having trouble meeting expectations? Or saying “No" then resenting saying yes? Do you put everyone before you and then don't have enough time for you or your dreams? Are you feeling “stuck” after giving so much, then to realize you’re not making progress in your life? More often than we realize, we tend to lose ourselves giving what we don’t have while trying to manage it all; parenthood, relationships, careers, and life situations. We then become overwhelmed, anxious, depressed or stuck.

We often go about our lives with a very limited scope, moving from one problem to the next. As a therapist, I try to help people look at the big picture. When we zoom out and look at things… like where we’ve been, where we think we’re going, the people we carry with us, how we’re affected by time and our bodies changing, the systems we’re a part of, the ways we’re deeply interconnected… it helps us understand our current experience of the world. It brings our attention to what’s pulling us away from the good in the here and now.
