Maybe you've been diagnosed with a long term illness or have had symptoms for years and at times you don’t recognize yourself anymore. You know these health struggles are somehow behind your depressed and anxious feelings, and you feel alone…like no one understands. Right now, you may have more questions than answers, but one thing you know for sure is that you’d do anything to get your life back. You grieve for the person you used to be and find it hard to imagine yourself living a worthwhile life with this illness trying to drag you down every chance it gets. (Due to demand, I ONLY accept clients with chronic illness concerns)

Therapy can feel hard. That’s ok. The good news is that you don’t have to do it alone. My goal is to create a safe space where you can be yourself–a place where you won’t have to struggle with your thoughts and feelings in isolation. You may be here because you’re looking for symptom relief–you want to be comfortable in your own skin, feel better about your life. We’ll talk about your goals for therapy and explore creative ways to help you reach them. Because no one person is the same, there’s no one-size-fits-all therapy approach. You have unique needs, and we’ll collaborate so that your therapy journey feels tailored to you.

Your disconnection with your spouse keeps you up at night. How did we get here? You desperately want things to feel better, to get back to feeling secure in your marriage, but anxiety, fear and overthinking get in the way whenever you try to have the difficult conversation. One of you wants to talk; the other shuts down. This is a common place to get stuck, and therapy can help. In our sessions, we slow down enough to understand what's happening for us emotionally. From that place, there is a path toward peace and security, and it'd be my honor to walk that path with you. Immediate openings for new clients as of Sept 2024.

No matter how hard you try, you can’t show up in your life the way you imagine and intend to. You fantasize about your ideal life, but unhealthy patterns keep you from showing up for yourself and those you care about in ways that don’t align with your values. It’s difficult for you to be present, which causes disruption in all areas of your life and increases your anxiety. You feel ashamed of your reaction to stress, which makes you feel lonely and disconnected. You know you need to prioritize yourself and set boundaries, but you’re fearful that this might cause another disruption, which is just too overwhelming.
