My approach to counseling is one that looks at the whole person, and I fully honor the courage that it takes to begin any change process. In our shared space you will be treated with warmth and compassion, and together we will work to face any challenges that may be hindering your growth today so that you can achieve your PEAK Life.

I recognize the importance of emotions and feelings that you have been experiencing, and it is my goal for us to discuss your struggles in a safe place, and explore possible strategies during our time together. My specialty is disability and psychological adjustment, work and career-related issues, cultural adjustment, and life transitions.

Life experiences have a way of influencing how we see ourselves and others. As a Spiritual Director, I invite people to take a journey towards healing the soul by discovering the presence of the Divine in all life's moments. If you are looking for a safe and open space for that journey, I am happy to companion you. The soul thrives when we discover our true selves. I invite those from various faith backgrounds as well as those who are feeling the 'tug' to know more about this soul work.

I believe that every person, regardless of diagnosis or past experiences, can lead purposeful and fulfilling lives with the proper support. We do the best with what we have, and too often life presents significant challenges we are forced to adapt to. Sometimes the patterns that were helpful to get through our childhood present major challenges later in life. Our symptoms do not make us abnormal and are not part of a fundamental flaw that needs fixing, they are a normal response to extraordinary circumstances. Problems do not exist within one person but are the result of a person’s context, family patterns, and learned behaviors.

The damn is ready to break - the tears are right behind your eyes! What happens if it breaks? You don’t know that you can put it back together let alone rebuild it completely. Nobody understands how hard it is to keep going. Life has just been so hard since it happened. The bad dreams only make it worse, you can’t remember the last time you got a good night's sleep. The constant anxiety and feeling on edge is just a cruel bonus. You’re afraid, embarrassed and stressed. Somehow, you pull yourself together...again. But every time you do you feel even more crushed and drained. As if you, the real you, is eroding.

All people are one of a kind, but here's where we're all alike: All of us come from a personal history and context: A past that got us through to where we are now. And "Right Now" is where all the choices and opportunities are. Some things we may want to change, other things we may choose to accept as they are. Therapy can be helpful in understanding yourself well enough to know which is which. And therapy can offer some things you may need to go forward with your choices: Hope, perspective and someone who believes in you while you practice believing in yourself.

My work in mental wellness is guided by the belief that all humans have the ability to heal when they have the tools and safe space to do so. My hope is to provide that space where folks can show up as their authentic self, free from fear of judgment. I believe that we are shaped by our experiences and our environments, and my goal in this work is to support people in investigating and making meaning of their stories and their contexts with compassion.

Trauma is a highly complex and personal experience. Everyone's experience and definition of trauma is different. Among both professionals and clients, it is often incredibly misunderstood. It affects us across physical, social, emotional, and spiritual bounds. It compromises our ability to process sensory input and renders us incapable of communicating at times. Traumatic experiences can make us feel "small" and incompetent, incapable of managing basic tasks at times, or we may even develop intermittent or chronic pain.

This is your place to feel seen, heard, and understood. I value giving people a safe space to share and feel seen. Sometimes we put on a mask to look positive, but underneath we're feeling overwhelmed, worn down, hurt, and discouraged. It can be an isolating experience, coupled with anxiety, sadness, and uncertainty. Although it can be intimidating to begin, therapy is a great place to let your guard down and share what's really going on inside. I'll help you find your way forward, and we'll do it together. I don't want you to go through this alone.

Should I stay or should I go? A huge question that's weighed on you. It keeps you up at night, stressing you out. Life would be so much easier if your relationship wasn't so hard. You wish you could communicate better; feel understood. But, damn, your shit and their shit get in the way. Not to mention the pressures of career, aging parents, or demanding children. It all gets thrown in the mix, leaving you exhausted, distracted, and disenchanted by the status quo. You want things to change (better sex, intimacy, connection); you're finally ready to take charge of your life in a new and meaningful way. You've come to the right place!

Come as you are to this space and be accepted. While the goals of therapy for each individual vary, a common goal is to be able to experience a range of emotions and have the tools and skills to cope with them. I am here to support you in this journey, regardless of what place you are starting from. I work with two main groups of people. The first being children aged 1-10 and their families, usually on the topics of neurodivergence (specifically ADHD and OCD), attachment and relationship, foster care and adoption. The second group being adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, chronic health challenges, and parenting.

I work with a multicultural clientele suffering from a range of issues, with a strong focus on self-love, compassion, empathy, and warmth. For those struggling with depression, anxiety, finding vision in life or rediscovering personal identity, we bring a grounded, body and heart focused method to therapy. Suffering is a part of life, and sometimes we learn unhealthy coping strategies, including substance use and addictive activities which can also be addressed in our sessions. Restoring self-confidence and appreciation is a major part of the work we do together.
