Therapy is an incredibly vulnerable process that involves stripping down the emotional armor we have collected over years of struggle, insecurity, or fear. For some the idea of therapy feels like the sweetest release and for others this idea feels incredibly intimidating. Often times, individuals present for their first sessions after an acute stressor, a period of prolonged distress, or even a previously failed treatment. Regardless of the precipitating factor, people often enter therapy when they feel hurt and alone. Many come with bruised hearts and tired souls, uncertain of what their struggles mean about their ability to heal.

Making the decision to seek help can be challenging and is a big first step on your journey to wellness. Wellness is not an absence of problems, but it is a process that helps us become more aware and make choices for a healthy and fulfilling life. If you feel overwhelmed and want help developing proper coping skills and self-care, you are not alone. Support is available and change is possible! Although I believe the client is the expert in their life, therapy is a collaborative effort between you and I. Together, we will work on identifying and meeting your wants, needs, and goals.

In today’s world it is easy to feel disconnected and overstimulated. Whether it be from work, school, kids, friends, family, or romantic partners. You might often feel the overwhelming pressure to “have it all.” My goal as a therapist is to help you navigate and process your unique experiences free from judgement and centered around trust. I use a trauma informed, strengths-based approach tailored to your individual needs. I value helping you find meaningful connection within the world around you- and more importantly within yourself.

Do you struggle to form deep and meaningful relationships in your life? Are you struggling with issues that are keeping you stuck in life? I believe the key to our wholeness is to be aligned within. Our pain and losses can hinder us from moving forward and connecting emotionally within and with others. We may become numb, lose zest, feel inauthentic, hopeless, and dissatisfied with life.

Women’s issues are often overlooked, minimized, and under-researched in our society. Many women face challenges with reproductive health, yet solutions typically offered—such as weight loss or birth control—fail to address the complexity of their experiences. Moreover, body image struggles and disordered eating are pervasive issues deeply ingrained in our cultural landscape, disproportionately affecting women. The trauma associated with women’s health concerns and body image challenges can have profound intergenerational effects.

Anxiety, OCD and trauma show up in many ways. Chronic self doubt or uncertainty has you overthinking the "what ifs" like letting people down, making mistakes, contamination or causing harm. You may feel tense, scattered, procrastinate tasks, be easily frustrated or get stuck when stressed.

You want to learn how to be present and let go. I specialize in anxiety, OCD and trauma to help you overcome fear, find peace and be confident to live life beyond worry!
