You’re a millennial woman caught in patterns of anxiety, over-thinking, overwhelm, and burn out. You’re either at full sprint trying to keep up or desperately trying to recoup. The chronic stress feels like a heavy coat that’s always on. You’re used to taking care of everyone else, being the problem-solver and the overachiever, so it’s hard to ask for help or know what you might need. You. Are. Exhausted. You miss the days where you felt clearer, connected, present, and peaceful. You know it’s time to make a change. Break away from patterns of worry and stress, and finally feel satisfied in the life you've created.

While none of us are free from life's many stressors and occasional deep wounding, we can change the way we relate and cope with them, and lessen their negative effect on us. I help teens and adults learn how to observe their unhelpful patterns, and get to the root cause of what blocks them from fulfillment. With compassion, mutual trust, and a little humor, let's transform your life, and finally break out of the unhelpful patterns that have held you back.

I work one-on-one with adults who are seeking to heal from trauma and loss, to understand and accept themselves more fully, to feel more present and connected, and to pursue new directions of personal growth. Most of my clients have been in therapy before—some for many years, but with limited results. They often arrive at my practice seeking an alternative to traditional “talk therapy” and the medical model of mental health. I offer a holistic approach that honors the body, mind, spirit, and natural world.

Therapy can be intimidating and easy to push off due to mounting fear, anxiety, shame, finances, etc. Thus, I want to begin by commending you for taking this step; it is a big one. As a counselor, I walk alongside my client in their journey towards a deeper sense of insight, self-acceptance, self-empowerment, and healing. I approach counseling by meeting each individual/family where they are at, focusing on the here and now, and tying together the past/future/present such that healing can occur. My background is in supporting LGBTQIA+ teens and families, working within complicated family systems, and assisting intrinsic growth.

I utilize a person- centered, holistic approach and draw from attachment and relational theories, somatic/mind-body, EMDR and IFS.
Choosing to face your fears can feel overwhelming and you don't have to do it alone. I believe that all people are resilient and have the internal capacity to reach their goals when provided with the right support and resources. I focus on creating a safe environment in which you can begin to form a deeper understanding of yourself and explore the root causes of your emotional distress. My hope is that you will leave therapy with a greater acceptance of yourself, increased confidence in your ability to navigate future challenges and a clearer path on how to engage in your life in a more meaningful and connected way.

Client-centered, trauma-informed, strengths-based interventions I use most are: Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT); Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT); Solution-focused Therapy (SFT); Internal Family Systems; Grief/Loss Counseling; Expressive Arts; Identity Development; Empowerment; Psychoeducation; Empathetic Listening; Mindfulness & Distress Tolerance.
Those who tend to enjoy my approach are individual adults (18+) who are committed to self exploration, challenging past patterns, and personal growth. My practice focuses on people with symptoms of depression and/or anxiety that may stem from: lack of identity development (who am I?); adjusting to life changes–such as, going to college, career challenges, coming out, partnering/divorce, death of a loved one, mid-life crisis, retirement, empty nest; relationship conflicts–work or personal; past trauma; poor attachment to childhood caregivers; or experiences as part of a marginalized group (i.e. BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, women, immigrants).
