Daily life has become challenging trying to balance our families, relationships, careers and goals. You may be feeling overwhelmed, experiencing anxiety that won’t allow you to move forward and you just can’t seem to get out of your own head. Perhaps you feel ready to take the steps to improve your quality of life, but you don’t know where to start. My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe space where we can openly discuss any obstacles and recognize patterns that may be holding you back. I now offer Telemental health sessions using a confidential computer platform so you can be in the comfort of your own home.

Your mental health matters. Therapy requires vulnerability and the courage to do something different especially when you're hurting. If you have become overwhelmed by difficulties that make it hard for you to function, you have come to the right place. If you are an empath like me, you know that the formula for living your best life is to heal your emotions. Family and friends cannot always help you get through the challenges of life; a good therapist can. The power of healing is a remarkable feeling.

I am a somatic-based therapist whose work is rooted in healing relational wounds. Many come to me for an approach that is not just trauma-informed, but one that also fosters the development of self-awareness and self-compassion when applying new insights. I also enjoy working with teens, "highly-sensitive people," creatives, spiritual aspirants, neurodivergent beings, and those searching for belonging following abandonment and betrayal. As a long-time yoga practitioner and student of Buddhist psychology, I am continually inspired to assist others in integrating their experiences for personal change and transformation.

Life is filled with challenges. We all need help from time to time yet asking for help may not be easy. Each of us experience life and the world around us through a unique lens. Often what we believe becomes our reality. It is not just what happens to us but how we experience those events personally, based on what is most important to us, that in turn influences how we feel and behave. I love helping people connect the dots between their life experiences and their personal needs and values to understand how to heal from the past and move forward to a brighter, better future.

We decide to seek out a therapist for a myriad of reasons. Many of us suffer with social anxiety, chronic low self-esteem or a persistent sense of sadness or loneliness. Many also suffer from recurring trauma related experiences, which can lead to sleeping or eating disturbances, substance abuse, and panic. These persistent, intractable feelings often make it difficult to function optimally in our daily lives. They interfere with our ability to develop and sustain fulfilling relationships and prevent us from achieving our dreams and goals.

I have found that providing a warm and nurturing environment has helped my clients explore areas of their lives that they were previously unwilling to look at. The therapeutic relationship that develops between us, can lead to both introspection and healing. I am a licensed psychologist specializing predominantly in the well being of women across a range of issues including eating disorders, relationship struggles, infertility, anxiety, and post-partum depression. I am also interested in helping people through life transitions, such as entering a new relationship or becoming single again, beginning college, entering the "real world", and becoming a mother.

Ever since you experienced the death of your loved one, your life has been turned upside down. The death of a spouse/partner, family member, or friend is life-altering. You’ve had an endless range of thoughts and emotions. “What am I going to do? I’m terrified. My life feels pointless now. I’m grateful for the life we had, but I feel like I died with them.” You can still feel their presence because reminders of your loved one are everywhere. That profound loss has left you disoriented and isolated. You don’t feel connected to anything anymore. You’ve been in a fog and have started to wonder, “When will this be over?”
