Much like the seasons, transitions and change are a natural progression of life, potentially stirring up a great amount of distress in our lives, leaving us feeling alone, overwhelmed, and unsettled as our hopes, dreams and relationships can change. Maneuvering through these chapters can be a daunting process, as they are influenced, and so seen through the lens of our past experiences. I aim at being able to walk with you through this tumultuous time, and beyond this stage of your life, helping to unravel some of the painful patterns that negatively impact your relationships.

Finding a therapist who is the right fit for you can be hard, especially when you may already be struggling with anxiety, depression, loneliness, or navigating a lifequake event. As human beings, we're wired for connection and deeply long to be included, seen, and welcomed into relationships as the truest version of ourselves. In my practice, I actively acknowledge the power dynamics involved in the role of the therapist and remain curious and humble around those dynamics in order to build a trust-filled and secure relationship to connect with each of my clients. You can count on me to be a welcoming and affirming presence for you.

As humans, I believe our past experiences have shaped who we have become, unconsciously informing the decisions we make, the relationships we enter, and the way we feel and interact with the world around us. In some instances, this can cause individuals to become stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns, experience low self-worth, and struggle to participate in a fulfilling life. I believe counseling can help individuals gain awareness and identify feelings to eliminate or reduce the severity of symptoms. Therapeutic relationships can help identify and change relationship patterns, with a goal of experiencing a satisfying life.

Listen, therapy with me isn't going to be rainbows and sunshine. Mostly because your mental health isn't rainbows and sunshine, otherwise you wouldn't be looking for a therapist, right? You are looking for someone to see the dark, ugly parts of your mind, your thoughts, your experience and sit with you in that and say, "This makes sense to me." That's what therapy is with me. I'm going to validate that those spaces you retreat to are real, authentic and scary. I'm also going to walk with you as we move out of them into the experience that you are looking for out of life.

Hello, I’m an embodiment first mental health therapist. By embodiment, I mean that I create space for sound, movement, sensation, posture, pleasure and pain first… and perceptions, words, thoughts, realities second. That doesn’t mean we don’t talk and spill the tea on your troubles. It means that I’m most interested in how your realities, oppressions, and past/present experiences inform how you show up in your body right now? How do you experience and express yourself in relation to your people and environments? Is this serving the you, you wish to be?

Knowing we can be loved exactly as we are gives us the best opportunity to grow into the healthiest people. Relational psychotherapy and counseling help restore hope and connection, even during seasons of immense pain and suffering. Having a place where you can be heard and feel known is essential while working through heavy feelings, emotions, thoughts, and difficult experiences. As therapy deepens, individuals I work with gain insight into the presenting symptoms and patterns of behavior that initially brought them to see me.

Transitions are a natural progression in life, which at times can leave us feeling alone, overwhelmed, and terrified. Much like the seasons; our hopes, dreams, and relationships change. Maneuvering through these chapters in our lives can be a daunting process. In my experience, when a person can share their struggles within therapy, they can begin to better understand their thoughts, emotions, and how this influences their relationships with others.
