The people I love to work with are people who often feel left out, struggle identifying who they are, want to learn how to more effectively communicate and those who understand that therapy is messy. We will both say the wrong thing sometimes and that's okay. The issues I love supporting people with are struggles with emotion regulation, relationship skills, processing attachment struggles, un-enmeshing from family, and more. I am a queer, millennial with ADHD - this forms who I am and my work. It's important to me to partner with others based on who they are and to make space for their unique needs.

I specialize in helping couples find connection through healthy communication, conflict management, and intimacy utilizing standardized Gottman Method tools. I believe Individuals and Couples seek counseling because they want something to be different in their lives, and I think by working together we can make those changes happen. In the counseling process, both individual and couples clients can be helped to understand themselves better, set personal goals, and be supported in development. I aspire to meet you both where you are at, help you to feel valued, heard, and understood through our work together.

Do you feel you do not belong or aren’t “normal?” As you explore, push boundaries, and learn who you are, there may be times when you feel anxious, sad, or overwhelmed. There is no one-size-fits-all definition of 'normal.' You are unique, and it's perfectly fine to be yourself. Together, we can explore what 'normal’ means to you.

Openings for new clients on Fridays starting July 5th. I work primarily with anxiety, trauma, shame, life transitions, and relationship concerns. I work well with people who identify as conflict avoidant, people pleasers, or people who have trouble being vulnerable in relationships. I help people explore stories about themselves that are no longer serving them. I also enjoy supporting people in practicing grounding/mindfulness skills so they can be more present in their lives. I can also support people experiencing mild OCD related to morality.

Are you working towards a more fulfilling life but continue to find areas where you get stuck or become overwhelmed? Are you hurting inside and unsure of where to turn? Many of our struggles stem from our relationships with others and we often need tools for navigating them, help with setting boundaries, and support in healing the wounds that might arise. Clinicians at Embodied Life Therapy Center bring a wealth of knowledge, training, and experience in working with relationship issues and the impact on our lives as a result.

In a world that encourages the creation of a chaotically tough exterior, I want to work with you to find your strength in peace and softness. Being vulnerable is often very scary, but bravery is defined by facing your fears, not by the absence of them. It is my goal to provide a space where you feel safe enough to tap into your own power and help you cultivate the assertiveness needed to create a life of your design, something we all deserve but rarely give ourselves permission to have.

Being a person is hard. Managing demands of work or school, relationships, family, life changes, and finances all while trying to take care of your heart, mind, body, and soul can feel impossible. It's even harder when you constantly feel anxious, overstimulated, or down and depressed with little relief. Burnout is also on the rise and especially for those in helping professions. On top of this, it is often we carry the unhelpful narratives from past experiences with us through our daily life. If you resonate with any of these challenges, you are not alone, and I am hopeful there are options to help you feel better.

Each of us is unique and has encountered challenges that shape who we are. Sometimes, we need someone to talk to and hold space for us. Sometimes we need someone who will challenge our perspective to help shift the way we have been looking at a problem. Sometimes we need someone to come down into the rabbit hole with us and help us find our way out. Let's find meaningful, intentional ways for you to engage with and live your life fully. I offer a safe, confidential space to navigate your concerns with a down-to-earth, open-minded, and objective, highly trained professional.

All adolescents and children want to be loved and accepted for who they are. Every child and adolescent thrive to please. For them to achieve these goals they need to be nurtured, taught, feel safe and secure in their homes and most importantly they need to know they are wanted and loved.
