Did you wake up this morning with a pit in your stomach? Are you feeling a sense of dread as you start your day? Are you feeling like you are never on top of work, school, relationships, parenting, or life in general? When was the last time you felt like you actually got anything on your mile long to-do list done? Are these “unprecedented times” wearing you down? Are you still thinking about that thing you said when you were hanging out with your friend? Are you feeling anxious about social commitments? Do you lay awake at night thinking about every little thing until you are spiraling out of control?

You're an adult with a big imagination, creative at heart, but you feel stuck. You’re struggling with chronic pain, unresolved trauma, or overwhelming anxiety. Parenting & relationships feel like minefields, & you’re constantly triggered. Your creative spark is dimmed by the weight of it all. You’ve tried to push through, tried to find solutions, but nothing sticks. What you want is peace—freedom from the constant noise in your mind & body. You need space to breathe, to heal, & to reconnect with the person you know you can be. To tap back into your creativity, confidence, and be fully present in your relationships and work.

“The wound is the place where the light enters you” – Rumi. Life stressors can contribute to feelings of anxiety, depression, loneliness, and even hopelessness. If you are feeling any of these, know that you are not alone. I trust in the power of therapy to re-examine stressful situations in a therapeutic environment. I am passionate about working with adults, children, and families to help identify barriers and dysfunctions; and to help facilitate positive changes to reinstate normal functions.

I work with clients whose PTSD, anxiety, depression, and addictions were caused by relational trauma. This kind of trauma occurs when the actions of another violate the trust on which a relationship was built. The experience of profound and unexpected betrayal (as children or adults) can be deeply traumatic and cause lasting changes in the areas of the brain responsible for regulating emotion, thought, and memory.
