I hold two fundamental beliefs about all humans; firstly, I believe every individual is infinitely unique. Secondly, I think every person can grow and be better than they are today. I believe my job is to help you find the tools and resources you need to continue growing. My favorite aspect of therapy is that it can be tailored to individuals' authentic thoughts, feelings, experiences, needs, or desires.

Finding a good therapist changed my life. Since becoming a psychotherapist in 2010, my goal has been to help my clients heal as they do the essential and difficult work of being human. I love psychotherapy and my clients can feel that. We meet inside my home office which has a private entrance. It's how psychotherapists treated patients back in the day and I have found the set up to be efficient at building rapport and safety. I really like myself and you can really like yourself too.

If you have ever dealt with anxiety, panic attacks, or fears of letting others down you have been fighting a battle that you don't need to continue to fight. We help individuals control their anxiety by teaching them techniques and tools that will allow them to regain control over their emotions. These are the same skills that professional athletes use to deal with the anxiety and the enormous amounts of pressure they deal with on a daily basis.

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?

I understand that seeking help can be a difficult step, and it's completely normal to feel a bit uncertain. It is important to walk into a new therapy space and feel welcomed and at ease. I value a space where every person feels supported, respected, and hopeful about the process of healing and growth. I work with clients of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences. Everyone deserves compassionate care, and I strive to honor and respect each person’s unique journey.

I believe that everyone, young and old, has a right to feel good about themselves. Sometimes, things happen in life that leave us feeling unprepared for the road ahead. We look in the mirror and are unhappy with what we see, past trauma can leave us vulnerable to the environment around us, or our bodies and our brains do not create a cohesive whole. That is when we need help in discovering who we are and how we want to live our lives.

Life happens when you live it. Are you living your life, or going through the motions? Life is meant to be enjoyed to its fullest, since you only get one. You should be the driver of your life and not the passenger along for a ride. A change of perspective is usually what is needed.

I always say its important to go 'therapist shopping', because finding someone who you truly connect with will play a huge part in just how impactful therapy can be for you. Recognizing your need for support and starting therapy can be hard to do, which is why it is my goal to make you feel accepted and empowered as you take these important steps. Whether you are struggling with relationships, people pleasing, self-esteem, or just managing all of the crazy things life throws your way, I am committed to providing a safe space where you feel seen, heard, and understood.

My approach is grounded in meeting folks where they are in the moment, and not asking them to feel, look, or act like someone they’re not. I believe that every person has worth and value because of their identity, and I love helping other people tap into their worth. I believe that all humans have the innate capacity to not only overcome difficult experiences, but to heal and thrive, and when we overcome difficult experiences or emotions, we are stronger and more resilient. Lasting change requires work, but when we put in that work we harness the power to define our experience rather than letting our experience define us.
