If you've ever felt broken, lost, or disconnected I'm the kind of therapist that can support you through your journey of finding lasting change. The beliefs you hold about yourself and the world, your emotions, your memories, and your habits all can influence mental and physical health. When we learn to quiet the mind and unite with the body we learn how to break free from habitual and painful ways of thinking, feeling, and acting.

As a therapist, I believe that authenticity and the therapeutic relationship are invaluable. I believe that therapy will not work if there is not a strong therapeutic alliance. I tend to be a laid back, compassionate clinician who values humor in session, but I am also not afraid to challenge you and be direct. I believe each individual is unique, therefore I do not believe there is one set way to do therapy. I value meeting individuals where they are at and learning about their strengths to help them in session. I work with adults ages 18+.

I’m so glad you’re here! I believe we all have this inspired capacity to transform old feelings, behaviors, and patterns, and to rewire our brains to heal our hearts and relationships. I value integrative and holistic health, and enjoy incorporating the "whole-you" in session: your mind, body, heart & soul. We'll focus on healing the relationship in and amongst these parts of you, resulting in a more integrated feeling of a-well-and-good YOU. Therapy works best when we can allow the full human experience; humor, tears, anger, anxiety, joy... I won't shy away from the messiness and instead will encourage us to jump into the depth.

Do you feel like you are pretending - that you’ve got it all together and that your life has a purpose? Do you feel out of control or increasingly frustrated about your situation, and terrified that you will not be able to find a way out? Do you, unsuccessfully, try suppressing these negative feelings? Are your relationships suffering and filled with pain?

I particularly enjoy working with clients who are working on increasing their self-esteem, improving emotional processing, and individuals wanting to enhance overall wellness. By learning new ways of understanding themselves, and by seeking new coping strategies for dealing with stress, clients can gain greater confidence being their authentic self, both in therapy sessions and out in the world. My goal is to support clients through their journey towards self-understanding, self-compassion, and confidence.
