I help clients connect deeply with their core values, guiding them through a journey of self discovery and alignment. I am spiritually oriented and familiar with earth based practices.

A person may enter therapy when they feel they can no longer effectively manage aspects of their life. Although it can be difficult to ask for help, this is where therapy begins. Once committed to this idea, choosing the right therapist is the next step. Finding a good therapeutic match is crucial to solving one’s problems.

When you're at a crossroads, what drives the choices you make? I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist helping my clients take charge of their life and love stories. In college, I wrote a piece for a creative writing class in which the protagonist was a not-so-subtle self insert. The professor's feedback was: "this character has no agency," which was absolutely right. My choices were driven by side characters. I decided to take charge of my own life right then and there, and now I want you to have your own main character moment. My skills and training, and those of my associates, are at your disposal.

Somewhere along the way life started feeling like an unwanted gift with a no-return policy. It continues to feel hard, heavy and burdensome. You want something better than the status quo because what you feel is unhappy, overwhelmed, and misunderstood. You are ready to feel heard in a safe and warm space. I work to help my clients find relief from their difficult feelings that are rooted in some of the most painful moments of their lives. Together we will explore the chapters of your life - uncovering where you are feeling “stuck”- or why that random thing about that random person is still gnawing at you years later.

We are all more alike than we are different. We grow into ourselves as a result of our relationships and our experiences. We want to live our best lives with a sense of meaning, purpose and belonging. Yet, for many, the challenges of everyday life; work, school, family, relationships, decisions about what to do or what direction to take, feel overwhelming and unmanageable. Therapy is a collaborative process; a journey toward increased understanding and insight.

Are you feeling stuck? Often we get trapped in old patterns and habits that once worked for us but no longer do. My goal is to provide a place where you feel safe, understood, and respected. We will work together to explore and identify the areas of your life that you would like to understand better and develop plans to help you reach your goals. I have extensive experience with trauma, anxiety (including school, social anxiety, phobias and OCD) depression, stress management and parenting, among others. I offer children, teens and adults a non-judgmental place to come speak confidentially.

I am interested in helping people explore and confront self-defeating thoughts and behaviors. My goal is to provide a warm, respectful, and relaxed environment to help you uncover, process, and release the roots of emotional pain, and to create pathways for more joy, resiliency, and meaning in life. As healing unfolds and insights deepen, old patterns make way for a new quality of life - for better relationships with others and with your self. The techniques I use in treatment vary, while my commitment is always geared towards the needs and goals that we establish together in treatment.

Over the years in my work with children, couples, families, as well as those struggling with substance use and other difficulties, I think about rocks. Specifically, rocks that weigh us down emotionally, due to difficult childhood experiences, troubling relationships, and from events or challenges one faces in their lives. Many clients come into counseling with the belief that they are inherently flawed. Inevitably, during our work together we uncover some of the rocks that weigh them down emotionally. The resulting awareness can be quite effective in relieving or reducing one from those old self-defeating messages.
