I specialize in working with women and college students struggling with anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues understand themselves on a deeper level, and make lasting changes in their lives.
Are you a woman or college student always thinking of the worst case in every scenario, and feel anxious and on edge no matter what you do? You’re someone who is a high achiever, yet still find yourself overthinking about the smallest things, and feeling fearful when you think about the future, afraid to make a changes. Something is telling you that you need to make a shift even if you’re not quite sure what it is. You want to gain deeper insight into yourself and your past experiences. You’re ready to change your “default setting” and begin creating new patterns in your life.

I feel that I come into the therapeutic relationship knowing that it is the client that has all of the tools within them to succeed.
I think the ideal client is somebody that needs to be heard, and needs to be seen in a space that feels comfortable to them. I think they will have that opportunity in working with me and be able to change their own lives in the ways that suit them. Sometimes, we focus on the deep things that bring us into therapy, and sometimes we end up playing a game, talking about the day to day, or even laughing hysterically.

I know what it's like to feel lost, confused, and as though you're stuck at a crossroads with no directions. I also know how important connection and understanding are in those times. I believe the beauty of therapy is how it can disentangle the confusion, revealing profound change, empowerment, and freedom. I can work with individuals or couples encountering a variety of concerns. I am particularly experienced to help clients navigating through relationship issues such as codependency, boundaries, infidelity, mood disorders, and personality disorders. I am drawn to help women recovering from abusive relationships and trauma.

What makes therapy work is our relationship.
Are you really bad at icebreakers? Or feel like a bundle of nerves when interacting with others? Even seeing people you like might elicit a feeling of dread. Dread of talking, dread of going to see them, dread of even getting ready to leave the house. A lot of our thoughts and feelings don’t always make sense. They don’t always match what we think we should be doing. We love these people, but we don’t want to go. Maybe you show up to work everyday, but you hate your job. Maybe your interaction with someone made you vey angry, even if it seems like it’s not a big deal.

My ideal clients are couples and individuals who are tired of suffering and want to make positive changes in their lives. My clients don't lay on the couch and vent, but rather are willing to roll their sleeves up and work hard to feel better and change. If you have trauma, we will get to the root of it. No more avoidance. If you're in a relationship with poor communication, broken trust and little intimacy we will fix it. We will equalize the power between you both, and draw healthy boundaries individually, and as a couple.

You love your partner and value this relationship - you just need a little help breathing new life into it.
Are you tired of feeling frustrated or hurt in your relationship? Do you have the same argument over and over with your partner but yet things never seem to change? You may blame each other or speak with sarcasm or defensiveness when you talk. It's easier sometimes to just avoid the hard conversations but then the problem never gets solved and you're left feeling unheard. Maybe you walk on eggshells because you can't be honest about your true feelings. Or perhaps your connection has grown stale over time and the passion just isn't there anymore. You'd love to have deeper emotional intimacy and exciting sex with the one you love.

Over the years, I have worked with numerous clients dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship, and/or family issues that brought them into my office. These issues left clients either looking for someone to help them unpack unresolved feelings, emotions, and thoughts, or suffering in silence. Many times those thoughts, feelings, and emotions needed to be shared with someone who was willing to actively listen and build a healthy and trusting therapeutic relationship with the client to help find relief. If you are looking for someone to help you unpack and get back on track with life, I would love to help you!

You need guidance and a non-judgmental, listening ear. You're already making things happen to the best of your ability - you're not a slacker - but you need a level of support and understanding that you just can't seem to find in your immediate social or family circles. You'd like to talk with someone about past trauma that still haunts you today - might be experiencing nightmares and flashbacks. You'd like to grow and mature in your relationship, or you'd like to move on from it to bigger and better things. You'd simply like to feel better about yourself.
