Often we find ourselves at crossroads struggling for clarity or ways to find joy. Let me help you find a path of hope and confidence again.

Are you feeling anxious about a current life transition? Is a past trauma holding you back in life? I work with individuals and couples to enhance the quality of their relationships and to gain a better understanding of others. I help people learn healthy coping skills and work together to create a plan of action to start using them in your day-to-day life. I help people break out of patterns that are no longer serving them. It's okay if you have no clue where to start. This is a great first step. Give me a call and let's get started.

I work with young adults and adults who struggle with a variety of issues. Whether you are experiencing personal or interpersonal difficulties, sometimes you can find yourself caught in troublesome patterns of thinking and behaving. You become bogged down with distorted beliefs about yourself and the world, trapped in unfulfilling circumstances, relationships and careers, or fixated on the past. A wide range of problematic symptoms (from anxiety and depression to damaged self-esteem, emotional disorders and self-destructive behaviors) can impact your quality of life. You need help to feel positive, confident and hopeful.

I specialize in helping and guiding individuals towards a life of balance, fulfillment, peace, and growth. Perhaps someone navigating the complexities of work-life harmony while striving for personal well-being. Or maybe you're grappling with stress, self-doubt, or relationship challenges. No matter what you're struggling with, I always strive to provide a safe and supportive space for exploration and healing.

In this life, there will be struggles and challenges, but be encouraged, you do not have to face them alone. Support is here. I would count it a privilege to walk with you as you face a crisis, cope with a life transition, manage stress, anxiety, or grief, and/or seek spiritual direction.

Life can present us with situations that cause pain, anxiety or suffering. These problems can stem from your past, or may have presented more recently. While this can be overwhelming, seeking out therapy is a courageous act in and of itself, and there is no correct point when beginning to address these issues. I know too well that coping with the challenges of life is not a straightforward path. That is why I offer my clients an open and trustworthy therapeutic environment where we can explore these issues, to not only gain better insight, but also learn how to cope more effectively.

Seeking space to process trauma and understand your path of healing is a courageous choice. Whether you are new to therapy, or returning to your journey of healing self-discovery — searching for a therapist can be overwhelming. Be proud that you made it this far! I am passionate about processing trauma and working with caregivers, helpers, and those excited to attune to one's own needs. I work with clients seeking to explore a deeper understanding of their attachment, and identities and heal from trauma, abuse, and neglect. My practice welcomes those who identify as neurodivergent, LGBTQIA2+, or consensually non-monogamous.

Are you often told that you "need to relax," that you're "Type A," or that "you should slow down"? Do you feel stuck in an endless cycle of worry, stress, or depression? Are you ready to make your mental health a priority but don't know where or how to start? If being able to just relax seems unachievable and hopeless; I want you to know that change is possible. Together we can help you develop healthier coping skills, establish appropriate boundaries, and gain new insights about yourself and your life situation.

I'm honored to join you on your pathway towards peace and healing. If you find yourself repeating behaviors or patterns in relationships that no longer work for you, you may benefit from healing work. Past attachment wounding and trauma may cause you to react and behave in ways that feel out of your control and very much affect who you are and how you move around in the world today. There are ways you can heal from the pain and create different, healthier, and more fulfilling paths!

This is a common pattern in many couples’ relationships and maybe this describes you: prior to getting married, you had a dream. A dream that your relationship would be like the ones portrayed in romantic movies, a life of bliss because you found your perfect person. Then, at some point in your marriage, you asked this question: “How did we get here?” Instead of a foundation of joy and security, you and your spouse find yourselves stuck in conflict cycles that leave you feeling bitter, distant, and hopeless.
