(*practice currently full) All people want to be at peace in a complex and confusing world. Life throws pain our way and we struggle to understand why we are experiencing it and how to adapt.

We can be confused about something that happened or where we’re headed. There is no text book to make these answers easy. The Earth School is the hardest classroom we will ever sit in and we’re bound to stumble into some situations feeling overwhelmed and unprepared.

It's tough out there, isn't it? Perhaps you're struggling with feelings of sadness, isolation, futility, and emptiness. Perhaps you find yourself worrying about the past, present, future, or who you are. You may struggle with symptoms of trauma or a negative inner voice. Maybe you've tried therapy before, and been disappointed by formulaic notions of growth or ideal living. It's certainly easy to feel discouraged. Yet healing is still possible, and I believe that goal-directed and evidence-based therapy is an effective way of facilitating that process.

As your therapist, I want to help you learn how to identify and achieve your goals in life.Unfortunately, many of us have been told that we are “a problem," and this can impact our beliefs around what we think we deserve. Oftentimes, these things do not serve our greater good but someone else's and to our detriment.I enjoy working with clients to disband these harmful beliefs, so that we may no longer see ourselves in this way but instead those beliefs and oppressive systems as the problem.By doing this, you can re-write your life story so that you can set yourself up for success in meeting your goals and rebuilding your self-worth.

If you notice you feel “stuck” changing negative thoughts, find you want to improve your relationships, or recognize that a traumatic history is impacting your life today, you don’t need to navigate these experiences alone. I also hold a special place for new parents doing their best to maintain balance and adjusting to their new role.

I believe that a trusting relationship with you is of the utmost importance. During our time together I will work to create an atmosphere of warmth and acceptance so you feel free sharing and exploring whatever is troubling you. My approach is a trauma-informed, culturally-sensitive, and evidence-based integration of attachment theory, psychodynamic therapy, and cognitive therapy which emphasizes (1) trusting the client as an expert of their own reality, (2) exploring the patterns through which we come to understand ourselves, others, and the world, and (3) seeking meaningful emotional experiences in a safe therapeutic relationship.

My practice is currently full. I work with adults struggling with trauma-related symptoms, depression, anxiety, social anxiety, grief, life transitions and those interested in making healthy lifestyle changes. I believe change is possible when people feel safe to explore their values, hopes, dreams, commitments, and purpose, as well as their disappointments and hurts. I aim to help clients "slow down," encouraging reflection and insight, and the development of healthy coping strategies to create sustainable change. My stance is curious and flexible reflecting my belief that my clients are the experts on their lives.

Not accepting new patients at this time. I believe that each person has inherent worth, wisdom and the capacity to develop in ways that can lead toward wholeness and renewed energy for life. My main job is to co-create a therapeutic container where inner and outer healing can take place. I believe that when we listen to psychological symptoms, instead of ignoring or resisting them, we are more likely to find out what is out of balance and needs further integration in ourselves.

Many of my clients come to me with emotional wounds. They often felt invisible, rejected, devalued, or deeply hurt by others. They learned to adapt to the unsupportive environment by judging themselves, tensing up, trying to control everything, disconnecting from themselves, numbing their feelings, not trusting others, hiding, or trying to please everyone. As time goes by, these strategies stop working and become symptoms we label as depression, anxiety, disordered eating, substance use, PTSD, self-harm, etc. I work with clients to break free from the past and live life in the way they want.

From simple study habits to finding your true path, I hope to find ways to connect, heal, and integrate.
