Connection. As humans- connection is crucial to our existence and wellbeing. This concept also undoubtedly applies to the relationship one has with their therapist. The therapeutic relationship is especially potent, as it sets the tone to allow for the safe exploration of trauma, regret and perceived failures. It challenges the negative thoughts, belief system, biases, guilt and self sabotage. It allows for the clarification of goals. To witness achievements in personal growth and insight. This relationship is ultimately much more than a conduit for the application of years of education and training, but an alliance for change.

You've hit the wall. Again. Overwhelmed, exhausted, and stuck in a cycle of negative thoughts that you can't seem to break, you just can't keep pretending that everything is fine anymore. No matter how hard you try to push it away or block it out, you just can't seem to shake the pain of your past, and it affects everything that's important to you. Your confidence, your relationships, and especially how you feel about yourself all seem like they are on shaky ground. Putting what you want and what you need last has once again caught up with you. You've thought about reaching out for help but don't know where to start or who to trust.

Your life is in transition, you are trying to hold it together on the outside, while inside you are falling apart. You feel like you have to live up to someone else's expectations or ideals and no matter what you do, it feels like you are failing. You feel added pressures to be everything to everyone: a perfect partner, parent, friend, or employee, and this pressure can feel daunting.

People seeking to become who they really are---that is, whole, balanced, resilient, contented---seek me out. I support kind, healthy, authentic relationship with all aspects of oneself because such relationship is key to kind, healthy, authentic relationships with others. It's also key to expressing ourselves most fully, both creatively and pragmatically. Whether working with individuals or couples, these principles apply. I try to make our work together as fun, co-creative, and as low in stress as possible. I intend for clients to leave therapy with personalized skills and skillful means for ongoing lifetime growth and resiliency.

My main goal as a therapist is to provide an emotionally safe and therapeutic atmosphere for my clients. I’ve worked with individuals across the life span and have found that my work has been most impactful with people aged preteen through young adulthood. This time is full of so much change - internally and externally. Initiating therapy can be hard. With a mixture of empathy, support, and reflection, solutions will be developed together, helping to give you a life that is more fulfilled.

You are whole, you are not broken, and you do not need to be fixed. The challenges you've endured and the symptoms you experience are real, but they do not define who you are. As humans, we possess remarkable resilience and the ability to heal ourselves, if we choose to do so. Through my work with trauma survivors, I've found that many of their symptoms, habits, and reactions are simply adaptations - ways their nervous systems learned to cope with unsafe, chaotic, and unpredictable environments.

My intentions are to help others become empowered and discover their self worth. I am always respectful, genuine, and non-judgemental in my approach. Sometimes you just need to be heard to sort thoughts/life situations out, or you may be ready to start your journey to heal from the past. Perhaps it's time to learn strategies to manage daily stressors, or work on repairing family and/or couple issues. I hope to be able to provide the quality support needed.

Have you been feeling anxious, depressed, isolated, stressed? Do you repeatedly engage in behaviors or relationships that don't help and may be harmful and find you can't stop? Whether these feelings & behaviors have been present for a long time or seemed to develop suddenly, it can be hard to figure out the cause or how to find relief. Sometimes distress is caused by prior trauma or by the coping skills developed early in life that are no longer effective or helpful. Personal growth, relief from emotional pain and discomfort, better relationships, and living a more fulfilled life are all possible.
