Nice to meet you, I’m so glad you’re here. I specialize in working with women struggling with depression, anxiety, betrayal trauma, grief/loss, perinatal mental health and life transitions. My approach is client-centered, relational, and collaborative. These have been distressing times; increasing worry, adding stress to our relationships and leaving us struggling. I am here to bring support, relief and provide tools for growth. The journey to wellness will have some bumpy roads, but I'm happy to walk beside you and help along the way.

The clients I work best with are teens and adults who are either hesitant to try therapy or want to jump right into exploring themselves. The issues I am most passionate about include behavioral and emotional regulation, conflict and family dynamic issues, gender and sexual identity, substance use and abuse, trauma, as well as anxiety and depression. Therapy isn't necessarily always about change, as much as it is about exploring the why and how of who you are. My goal is to find your goal, and then work from there within your capacity to do so.

As a counselor, my primary commitment is to create a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and concerns without judgment. I understand that reaching out for counseling can be a courageous and vulnerable step, and I am honored to be part of your journey towards personal growth and healing.

Deep inside each of us is a reservoir of wisdom, of knowing what is true for us. Granted, that inner wisdom maybe be layered over with negative messages, unexamined beliefs acquired years ago, noise from the busy-ness of our lives and the chaos of the world, or personal doubt, lack of confidence, confusion. Being present in the body so that we can access that inner wisdom is a crucial aspect of counseling and doing so can help us find the way forward in life. Learning to be fully present in the moment is a gift we can give ourselves as we live our lives and move toward healing and well-being.

Coming into a civilization that values production and hyper-individualistic ways I became enlightened by the deep rooted connection and harmony the mind, body, and soul were craving. The suppression of our innate human parts has created exhaustion and burnout that instills conditioning of shame, guilt and fear. My mission is to provide a meaningful safe space to shed these burdens brought on by unrealistic standards of society, family, and our institutions and connect with the healing allies of the earth to remember how to be in alignment with our full embodied selves.

People seek counseling for a variety of reasons that can range from struggling with life transitions or self-worth issues to coping with crisis or trauma. These situations can cause us to feel anxious, depressed, hopeless, lost, or alone and are often influenced by factors over which we feel we have no control. As human beings, our instinct is to improve our lives, our well being and heal our pain; however, sometimes we endure the suffering or find ourselves stuck in unhealthy patterns because we are scared, feel powerless, or just don't know how or where to start.

Belonging Is Our Essence......and yet many of us experience situations where we didn't feel valued, heard or seen for who we really are. Whether the message came from our family of origin, our intimate relationships or from cultural oppression, somewhere we got the message that being our authentic self wasn't okay, and sometimes not even safe. I focus on creating a healing space where you won't be judged or harmed as we collaborate to help you learn to be present and be your authentic self, and to shed the layers that no longer serve you.

Are you absorbed by worry about the future or pain from the past? You're just "getting through" daily life on the waves of anxiety or fumes of exhaustion, unfocused and uncertain. You may feel disconnected, in conflict with yourself and those around you. Your thoughts and feelings may seem like the enemy, creating more stress, uncertainty and discomfort in your own body. But you are ready for change. Ready to reconnect with your truest self. Ready to open space for affirming relationships. But most of all, to be fully present for what matters most in your life. Together, we can help you get there.

If white knuckling, self shaming, pulling yourself up by your bootstraps worked, you’d be “cured” a billion times over. It doesn’t. At least not for me or people whose brains are different. Our minds race and it feels impossible to turn off and rest. Sometimes we use substances or other behaviors in a harmful way just to get through the day. There’s more to life out there. A more peaceful and meaningful life is possible. We need to go deeper and get to the root of things. I’ll go with you.
