I specialize in wholistic trauma therapy for adults who want to understand and resolve the ways their past is affecting their current relationships, jobs, and life roles. On the surface, you might be holding it all together. And at the heart of it, you're stuck - not feeling like your true self. Anger, depression, anxiety, difficulty focusing, overwhelm, and/or drugs or alcohol abuse might be more a part of your life than you’d like. This is not how you imagined it. You want, you NEED, to find your way back again.

Hi! I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress management for children, teens, and adults. I like to utilize a creative approach to therapy to help tailor to you as an individual.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, overstimulated, and burnt out? Do you often find yourself feeling isolated and believing that nobody truly understands you? It's possible that you've always had a sense of being different, and perhaps you've had to conceal your true feelings and authentic self in order to fit in and avoid standing out. Maintaining this façade requires an immense amount of effort, and now you find yourself on the verge of losing the very essence that makes you unique. You deserve to feel relief from the constant burnout.

When you are feeling overwhelmed by life, a therapist can help you. You know that you want to feel better - and be better for yourself and others - but when you have been doing the things that have always worked in the past and find they are not working now, it may be time to enlist the support of a therapist. I love to work with people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, sad, anxious, indecisive, or have any other painful emotion. Instead of feeling stuck, I want to help you feel empowered to move forward and help manage those painful feelings.

I view clients as whole people in the context of their lives. You are more than a diagnosis. It's important to me to collaborate in setting goals, selecting an approach to therapy, and checking in along the way. I've worked with people from a broad range of backgrounds on anxiety, relationships, stress, depression, life transitions, and LGBTQ+ issues. I also specialize in couples counseling for smart, committed partners who want to improve communication, feel more loved, work as a team instead of against each other, or just get unstuck from an old issue or pattern.

It is Fucking exhausting, when you're constantly trying to shrink yourself to fit other people's expectations Perhaps you find yourself screaming into the void, feeling lost and overwhelmed by the pressures of existing in this late-stage capitalist hellscape.

For years you've felt frustrated & confused by a world that expects you to be someone you are not. But now, you are ready to take up space.

One constant in life is change. Change can often bring uncertainty and a whirlwind of emotions that we should not have to navigate alone. In the ebbs and flows, we often hope to move in a certain direction but get twisted and pulled by thoughts and circumstances weighing us down. What if you could feel empowered to embrace the issues in front of you and allow for a truer version of yourself to lead you in the direction you'd like to see your life go? I help people of all ages (individuals, couples, and families) in building self-understanding, self-compassion, and self-trust to support them in shaping the changes they want to see.

I’m guided by my belief in the eternal worth and inherent wisdom of each person. Each individual is the expert of their own experience, and, within each of us, lies an immense power for self-healing. My therapeutic style can be described as warm, collaborative, and experiential. I view my role in this process as a facilitator, working alongside individuals as they reflect upon their experiences, broaden their awareness, and investigate ongoing behavioral patterns. Together, we may begin to freely explore prevailing paradigms and construct a more personalized path forward.
