It’s no secret that life can be messy and I believe that you can either learn from it, laugh about it, or cry about it– all of which are appropriate responses depending on the situation. I find importance in connecting behavioral and cognitive patterns to past experiences, and learning how to move forward and create the future you envision. I don’t shy away from the hard or messy, so you may find that I too show up authentically to assist with verbalizing and exploring the intensity of the human experience.

When life is hard, therapy helps. Sadness, anxiety, issues in our relationships, complications of aging, work stress, illness, family conflict can feel overwhelming. Therapy is a place to sort out what is working for you and what you want to change in life - and it makes change possible. I bring lots of years of experience and a belief in the positive effect of warmth and humor combined with evidence based therapeutic strategies.

Many of my clients struggle with low self-esteem, boundary setting, finding purpose and a pattern of pushing themselves to burnout. I often use EMDR, IFS (parts work) and incorporate Vipassana meditation to promote inner healing. In the first couple of sessions we will help you build resources and healthy methods of coping with your current stressors. Once you feel stable, we can begin further exploring your wounds and identify methods to bring you healing. I enjoy exploring and treating the source of the issue to promote long term healing.

Life can be painful and in our efforts to cope, it's easy to get caught in self defeating patterns of thought, emotion and behavior.

I commend you for taking this step and promise to do my best to offer you a safe space to share your unique story, to heal and to grow.

We’re all just walking each other home - Ram Dass. You find yourself standing at a crossroads, the weight of past traumas, daily stresses, and unspoken fears heavy on your shoulders.

Each decision feels monumental, each step forward feels shaky, contributing to a profound sense of overwhelm. It’s dark here, and the face in the mirror feels like a stranger, each day a battle with fear. Maybe you wake up each morning dreading the day ahead, gripped by a fear that’s both familiar and indescribable.
