Grieving the death of a loved one can leave you feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and disconnected from yourself, others, and the world as you knew it. Although grief is full of uncertainty, one thing is clear: it will change you. Perhaps what once felt like normal stress is now blossoming into sleepless nights, overthinking, or increasing fear. Maybe you’re becoming frustrated by others’ responses or feeling like a burden to those around you. You may have begun to tuck away the truth about your loss from others because it’s too much, too dark, too upsetting. But you can’t forget what happened, you don’t have a way to escape it.

I am passionate about working with individuals and families. I believe the client/ therapist relationship is a critical component of the therapeutic process and place emphasis on maintaining a nonjudgmental, caring, and safe environment for my clients. My compassion and use of evidence-based research models provide a space for me to empower and support clients. I believe that the therapy process is collaborative, both therapist and client work together to develop strategies and tools to help clients transition through stressful times. Using both long and short-term therapy approaches, I create an individual approach for clients.

The dignity of your goals. The beauty of your process. The pride of your results. Clients describe me as calm, warm, and direct.

I believe in the healing power of relationships. Humans have a biological need to find safety through connection with others. Disconnection in relationships may leave you feeling hopeless. Together, we will look at your relationship to self and how this impacts navigating relationships with others. If you have difficulty having a healthy relationship to your body and food, I am also pursuing a certification in intuitive eating principles and integrate these into my practice with clients as needed.

I specialize in sex addiction, sex therapy, relationship issues, codependency, as well as deep grief and trauma healing.

I am a highly skilled therapist who is expert at partnering with clients to feel better and improve quickly, then ease into the deeper healing work of grief, emotional neglect, and trauma. I also specialize in High Speed Intensives, which is a much faster therapy, and it helps us feel better and get better quicker.

I am an experiential therapist who supports folks struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, self-criticism, burnout, and emptiness from years of minimizing their own needs as they lovingly care for others. Life doesn’t have to feel like you are constantly battling to change who you are- left feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, isolated and alone. Instead, I partner with my clients to embrace who they are and what they need with compassion and witness their already complete wholeness.

"Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy-the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light" (Brene Brown). I believe if this resonates with you, you may be willing to take the next courageous steps to journey forward in your life.
