Are you struggling with being present? Does it feel like no one else thinks the way you do? Perhaps you’re struggling with your identity or not being seen for the person you are. Are you feeling a crippling weight of expectations for who you “should” be or what you “should” do? Do you find yourself constantly overwhelmed, having difficulty focusing, or overthinking? Do days and months pass with nothing to show for them, nothing changing? As life happens around you, do you find yourself falling into unhelpful or painful patterns? Do you want things to change for the better, to feel hopeful again, but don’t know where to begin.

Sometimes in life, we just feel overwhelmed. Anxious, depressed, scared. Old behavior patterns can often cause us to feel "stuck". Having a trained, experienced, and supportive professional to guide you through these frustrating, and often painful experiences, can be the key to making the change you want in your life.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, looking for direction, or caught in repetitive thoughts, behaviors, or relationships that no longer serve you? Don't worry, you are exactly where you're supposed to be! I firmly believe that every moment presents an opportunity for growth. My approach to therapy is rooted in this belief, guiding individuals toward self-discovery, healing, and transformation.

Sometimes a moment, or moments, in your life will haunt you. It can make you feel disconnected, like a stranger to yourself and your life. I believe we all have different ways of processing pain. I have worked with folks who struggle to stay out of the hospital and folks who simply need a connection. I enjoy being present and meeting the needs of both types. I really work hard to meet you where you are and help you identify what you need to get to where you want to be. No one asks to stay lost and miserable and I appreciate the privilege of witnessing the transformation from pain to clarity.

Self-judgment and invalidation can prevent us from becoming our full, authentic selves. I have witnessed the powerful effect on people's lives when they begin to unhook from their negative self-talk and open themselves up to self-compassion. Often the roots of depression, emotion dysregulation, anxiety, difficulty navigating relationships, and self-judgment are in a history of trauma, repeated invalidation, or chronic stress. I help people recognize these roots while also staying mindful in the present. I help folks learn coping skills to tolerate distress and move through difficult emotions.

**Availability for Telehealth Counseling** I work with dynamic women and men who want to do big things with their lives yet experience mood and health challenges that keep them from fully realizing their potential. I help them get centered, balanced, and healthy so they're happier, more vital ... and more fulfilled. I work with the "highly sensitive person" who struggles with self-acceptance, guilt, and shame. Additionally, I work with people facing health challenges, helping them regain the capabilities they've lost and vigor they once enjoyed.

I have worked as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 23 years. I enjoy working with a wide range of individual concerns, including depression, anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, abuse/trauma, addictions, and phase of life issues. I find that many of us have expectations that life will be better, that we will finally be happy, when we reach a certain milestone, or when we do what makes others happy, or if we work hard.

The clients I tend to gravitate towards are those who are neurodivergent, highly sensitive, struggle with eating disorders/disordered eating, are unpacking unhelpful and often harmful messages that they've internalized, relearning their true selves, and finding a way to safely be embodied in their body and their place in this world.

How long have you been trying to fit a mold that isn't yours? How has that been working out? What if instead of focusing on changing and fixing, you were able to find acceptance of the "you" you've been trying to fix? I work to cultivate authentic connections with my clients where genuine acceptance is central. Meaningful change springs from that acceptance. I love helping others shift into new ways of connecting with themselves and create meaningful paths forward.
