When difficulties drown out the pleasures of life, it is easy to turn your focus toward avoiding complex matters. Beginning therapy is a step onto the path of healing; it is an act of hope and strength toward reclaiming your life. As your therapist, I can help you find the solutions to quiet the struggles and restore the balance needed in order for you to thrive. My ideal clients are those with high-stress and high-risk careers such as health care professionals, first responders, lawyers, educators, and more.

People are not broken and they don’t need to be “fixed”. We need insight, tools and new perspectives to make good choices and discover what it is we really need and want. Therapy is a process of discovery and the implementation of the findings.

As a therapist I strive to build a strong therapeutic relationship with each client through empathy, acceptance, authenticity, and humor. My goals are for you to feel seen and understood, to provide space for processing emotions in a trauma-informed and culturally responsive way, and to join you in your journey to find congruence between your ideal and real self. I enjoy helping people who want to learn how to help themselves. You're the expert, I'm the guide. I appreciate finding what is feasible for you in your life along with identifying incremental goals to help you on your journey.

Hi there! Do you find yourself awake at 1:00 a.m. scrolling through the therapist ads, thinking that it may be time to talk to someone about your struggles?

I honor you for being brave enough to take these first steps. I respect the coping mechanisms that have gotten you this far, and it would be a privilege to help guide you, empower you, and collaborate with you as you embark on your own unique path of self discovery.

Have you been frustrated by conventional psychotherapy, or maybe looking for something different? Somatic Experiencing is a scientifically-based therapeutic approach that allows the body to do what it was designed to do; repair itself and return to homeostasis. This gentle “bottom up” method allows the body to tap into its own innate wisdom, buried beneath our well-intentioned efforts to heal. Experience what change is possible when we get out of our own way.
