Life experiences and transitions influence the way we live, and can be the main reason we are experiencing the types of distress we find ourselves in. They force us to let go of the familiar and face the future with a feeling of vulnerability. We can experience great loss, fear, and not knowing where or who to turn to.

We all have challenges and barriers in life that can keep us from living up to our full potential. Daily and accumulated stress can make it difficult to remain connected to ourselves and others. I believe we all have an innate capacity for healing. Therapy can help us access the support, tools, and safety we need to heal. Asking for help takes openness, honesty, and deep courage. It is in this place of vulnerability and willingness to ask for help, that leads us to experience the most meaningful changes in how we relate to ourselves and others.

Life can be difficult - you often feel sad, anxious, unsatified, like a failure, or even suicidal. Life has not turned out like you planned and you don’t understand what is wrong - you try so hard but still end up alone, misunderstood and never getting what you need.

I believe that it is important to find a therapist that is a good fit for you. There are many wonderful therapists, but it is important for you to feel that you are understood, supported, and sometimes gently challenged by your therapist.
I will ask you to identify what you want help with or what you are feeling distress around and then will actively work with you toward your goals.

My work focuses on taking a collaborative approach with clients to identify external challenges, personal choices, and regain a sense of control and meaning in situations that can feel chaotic and overwhelming. This means being encouraged to identify personal strengths to find solutions instead of pathologizing difficulties. My approach often focuses on issues relating to social justice, intersecting oppressed identities, and navigating an authentic sense of identity development within a culture of privilege and oppression.

I create a comfortable environment in my office where people feel safe to share. It is my belief that each of us is unique in our histories and in the strengths that we bring to a situation. Part of the experience of therapy is to identify the strengths and successes we have had in our lives and to discover how these things can impact the current concerns we are facing. Often through the experience of talking with a therapist people are able to figure out how to take the steps that will make their life situation and relationships work better.

Are you ready to begin taking off the masks that you are afraid of living without but know you cannot live within? Together, we will gently remove old and new masks, allowing for the opportunity to get to know your inner Self. The Self is our inner being, our truth, our soul, our anchor, who often gets hidden away due to traumatic experiences, fears, and others’ expectations. Through witnessing how personal challenges - past and present - can impact individuals in distinct ways, I have grown increasingly passionate about helping others reconnect with life through Self-discovery.

Too often we give our power away to letting a thought, a circumstance or interaction rob us of our peace. Have you even felt that your life is just "the way things are?" Although it is true we cannot always control external forces, we are capable of controlling how we respond to them which is a simple concept to grasp but takes intentionality to implement. The good news is the best version of yourself is already within you and as you learn to observe your experience without judgement, you will have the ability to offer greater acceptance and compassion for yourself and to others to create a ripple effect of positive change.

We all have experiences of feeling stagnant, imbalanced or disconnected. The path forward ahead can be paved with unsettling uncertainty as you venture into new directions. This can feel like a difficult and isolating journey; yet It is in those instances where we are our most creative and resilient selves. We often underestimate our own strengths and magnify our fears and anxiety, forcing ourselves to limit choices in life and closing ourselves off to change. When we gain new insight into ourselves and how we connect to the world, we can find new ways to find the next step towards a more authentic life and connection to loved ones.
