Do you feel like you logically understand why you are the way you are and yet still struggle with emotion identification, feeling emotions in your body, and making larger changes? Therapy provides a therapeutic relationship that can help guide you toward building a better connection and understanding of yourself. Do you want to have a better sense of identity? A better connection with you body? A sense of acceptance with your trauma? Therapy can provide you with the tools to discover yourself through your mental and physical wellness.

Thank you for visiting my page. I understand and appreciate that reaching out for support is not easy. Through the brave action of engaging in therapy, I believe clients gift themselves an opportunity to gain powerful insights, grow in self-awareness, cultivate a deeper connection to themselves and others, and ultimately move toward lasting change. My role as therapist is to facilitate and support this process within the structure of a warm, safe, and non-judgmental environment where all - regardless of race, religion, identity, or background - are included and welcome.

Reaching out is a hard step - and should be commended! I specialize in working with individuals (children 6+, teens, and adults) who are experiencing struggles related to trauma histories, with a specialty in sexual assault/violence and child abuse; anxiety, general life stressors, millennial & professional burn-out, foster care/adoption, self-esteem/self-compassion, self-harm, family relationships/impact of divorce on families, coping skills, and boundary setting. I offer individual and family therapy.

I help people who struggle with emotional relationships, secure attachments, anxiety disorders, and trauma. Using a combination of Psychodynamic Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, among others, I help clients resolve issues related to attachments and fears of failure, abandonment, not being good enough, and rejection. Through our work together, my clients can cultivate secure and meaningful relationships, protect their boundaries, trust their ability to cope with pain, be flexible, embrace uncomfortable emotions, heal inner wounds, and reconnect with their authentic selves.

The greatest way to 'get over' something, is to go 'through' it in a compassionate and non-judgmental way. When life becomes challenging, you can oftentimes feel confused about where to turn. Perhaps you wish to discover the ways in which the past may be holding you back, better understand the reason why you're feeling stagnant in the present, and explore why the future may feel so intimidating for you. You may need the help of others to feel stable again and seeking therapy is a brave and courageous first step. You can discover new ways of living that feel fulfilling in the here and now. You deserve to feel better, and I can help.

Are you, or someone you love, at a crossroads in life? Deciding to contact a therapist is the first step to bringing about the change you desire. I recognize that it takes courage to begin this search, and it is usually the result of emotional pain. I want you to know that there is hope. Your present circumstances do not have to dictate your future. This does not need to become your new normal. Instead, you have the power to overcome your current circumstances. I believe that through a safe and trusting counseling relationship, true healing can begin.

Challenges come in all different walks of life, shapes, and sizes. It's the universal one thing everyone must deal with. As a therapist, I try to help my clients develop the skills to be able to deal with whatever challenges they may face with courage, dignity, and the strength to know that eventually they will overcome these challenges. For many these challenges include debilitating depression, intense anxiety, fractured communication skills, trauma, substance abuse, or any combination of those. Although admitting the need and asking for help may be hard, the skills developed in therapy can definitely be worth it.

Whether you are dealing with an addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, or another mental health concern, I am here to help guide you in the direction of your goals. It can feel isolating and defeating to cope with these mental health concerns alone. It might feel like nobody understands you or that you are just going through the motions of life. You may wonder if there is hope or a way out. I believe that with the right support, everyone has the natural drive and ability to reach their goals and live a fulfilling life.
