I had no idea what to expect the first time I went to therapy. I was 19 years old and had suffered alone for some time before developing the courage to reach out for professional help. What surprised me the most from that first therapy hour was how validated I felt by my counselor and how much confidence I left with that I would be able to change in the ways I wanted. This therapy experience greatly impacted my personal life (as well as my professional life as you can clearly tell).

I support those who feel lost or off, coming to terms with their experiences growing up, adjusting to college, engaging in disordered eating, and/or finding themselves consumed by negative and/or anxious thoughts. You might be self critical, feeling insecure and cannot stop the negative cycle of thinking and behaving. In therapy you will learn more about what is getting in your way, what resources you have and new skills to navigate your journey. Together, we will learn about your experiences, the systems around you and help you move forward with practical and cutting edge tools.

I work collaboratively with my clients to define and explore the things they want to change. Most of my clients come to therapy because something in their lives isn't working anymore. They want to let go of old habits and deepen their sense of well-being. I help my clients build skills that create the conditions for growth. These skills, practiced over time, allow my clients to connect more deeply with themselves and others, and move more purposefully into the lives they choose. My goal is to facilitate my clients' movement beyond symptom relief to real and lasting change.

I've worked in a variety of settings over the years: in schools, community mental health, in home therapy, pregnant and parenting youth programs, grief/hospice, inpatient/residential/outpatient eating disorder treatment and college counseling. In these settings I've been fortunate to work with clients at different stages of life and circumstance. I also consult with parents who are preparing to launch their young adult to college, as this can be a confusing, challenging and emotional time for all. Additionally, I'm certified in Prepare/Enrich, working with engaged and married couples in strengthening their relationship.

I work primarily with adults that desire to live a life without symptoms of trauma, addiction, codependency, anxiety or depression. I believe healing is possible by reconnecting to your authentic self and rediscovering your beliefs & values. I have witnessed my clients achieve and maintain lasting change through the use of skills and changing unwanted behavior. Along the way, we make the healing process fun and easy. I gently challenge clients yet hold space for vulnerability and trial & error. I connect with clients by being authentic and encourage clients to be the same.

You're probably here because something in your life feels off. Maybe you've been pushing yourself to excel in every aspect of your life, but it feels like you're running on empty. Or perhaps you're struggling to connect with yourself and others, feeling alone and disconnected. If you're feeling a bit lost right now, you don't have to go through it by yourself. Whether you're dealing with depression, anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, hurting, or shut down, together we can start carving out a path to a life that feels right for you.

In the first half of life we focus on becoming somebody. I work mostly with people wrangling with the second half of life (symbolically, the autumn years). This can be a time of looking beyond or letting go of who or what we’ve become so we might be true to a deep, authentic self. You might have a sense of something missing or something more or a call to wondrous mystery. Maybe you’re facing big changes or challenges. Maybe you're questioning what you've devoted yourself to or what you've sacrificed. If you're looking to be deeply seen and heard as you delve into your big questions for living true to your depths, let's connect.
