You are probably here due to your strength & survival skills. I bet you've read self-help books, and blogs & watched videos to help yourself. You've probably achieved success at work, in your career, or at home, but somehow still feel like no matter how hard you try, "you're never good enough." Something brought back the painful, unwanted memories you tried so hard to forget & patterns that hold you back on the inside. Imagine yourself one day waking up without re-living your past, enjoying life, feeling more fully present every moment, safe enough to explore friendships, & romantic relationships, & having the ability to say no!

Each client comes with unique struggles and with unique hopes and longings in the search for meaning, relatedness, healing, creativity, and growth. We all have a life to live. When that life is stymied - by inside forces or outside events - you might feel stuck or lonely, experience anxiety, depression, anger, grief, chronic pain, or restlessness. You might also struggle with life changes, illness, stale relationship patterns, addictions or spiritual issues. My aim is to get to know you well and help you develop a conscious, vital relationship with the powerful forces that seek life and growth and with those that get in your way.

Currently accepting individuals for telehealth. My approach to therapy is wholehearted and views clients contextually, recognizing people as interconnected with and influenced by everything from biology and belief to society and the natural environment. I use a bio-psycho-social-spiritual lens to understand my clients holistically. Rather than seeking to identify what is wrong, I seek to understand what needs may not be met and collaborate with clients on meeting those needs. This approach sparks inspiration, creativity, and openness and invites into the therapy process a client’s deep and vast wisdom.

All of us face experiences in our lives where we can benefit from the support and connection that therapy provides. Scientific evidence demonstrates that a strong and consistent therapeutic relationship is restorative, healing and emotionally regulating. As a therapist, I believe in connecting with clients, human-to-human, and I regularly feel a deep sense of understanding for those with whom I work. There is so much noise around us that it is often difficult for us to hear our own truth. I offer a compassionate, heart-centered space to help you to deeply trust your own inner strength and core values.

I understand that people can sometimes struggle or feel anxious about some area in their life. Most people want to feel meaning in their life, but when stress, sadness, or anxiety gets in the way it can feel horrible. Not knowing how or what to change can feel overwhelming.

I deeply value the therapeutic relationship and see it as the cornerstone to most of what happens in psychotherapy.
