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.

Do you want to deepen your sense of self and build stronger relationships? Are you working to recover from the impacts of personal trauma, or trying to interrupt generational and collective trauma patterns? Working on finding better ways to move through anxiety and depression, and strengthen your ability to navigate the state of the world while still finding joy, ease, love, belonging, and meaningful resistance to harmful systems? Feeling disconnected from one’s sense of self and body, from others, from community, can lead us to feel empty, aching and traumatized. Repairing connections can help create healing and a sense of safety.

You’ve been experiencing a lot of changes in your life, and you were hoping they would make you happy. New experiences bring a sense of excitement and adventure, but they are often accompanied by fear and worry. Maybe you just graduated and got your dream job but feel overwhelmed by anxiety. You got a fresh start in a new city, but feel lonely and disconnected. You are starting a new relationship and are scared it’s not working out, or maybe you just ended a relationship. You’re navigating the reality that some of your friendships may be causing more problems than they are worth.

Hello and welcome to all who seek personalized therapy at Collaborative InSights! It's hard understanding and regulating emotions. Especially when we see other people "get it," it's hard to understand why life feels so different for us. It may even be hard to find someone who understands you at all. But, as someone who was diagnosed with ADHD in 2022, I get it. And believe me, you're not alone. I hope to be the person you trust to walk with you as you learn about yourself, others, and the world. My goal is for clients to leave feeling more self-assured, confident, and accepting of themselves.

Anais Nin said, "There comes a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud is more painful than the risk it takes to blossom. " Psychotherapy is sometimes the most effective way to begin to blossom. The slow and comfortable establishment of mutual trust will come first as we work to fully understand your unique personality and situation. Together we will explore the the source(s) of pain or struggle in your life & identify practical, workable solutions. You & I will work as a team to ensure you have the support you need as you begin to feel better about yourself and your life.
