Do you feel low energy and the things you used to enjoy don't bring the same excitement to your life? You may be feeling disconnected from others and the world around you. Depression and anxiety can feel like a constant weight, making even the simplest tasks an overwhelming struggle. While feeling that weight it can be difficult to work towards creating positive change or even envision that change is possible.

While we can’t avoid facing pain, conflict, and loneliness in life, it’s possible to find peace, pleasure, and purpose when we can share authentically with one another. I see therapy as a place to process past experiences, attend to our needs in the present, and explore new ways of being and relating. Whatever you're struggling with, dedicating the time to better understand yourself or improve your relationships is, in itself, an act of healing and transformation. You've taken a huge step by seeking help navigating life's messiness and complexity, and I'm glad you're here.

Everyone faces difficult things in life that can become overwhelming to deal with on their own. Having others to rely on is an important component to navigating through those hard times without further emotional distress.

None of us come out of childhood without some cuts and bruises. Sometimes physical, but more oftentimes emotional. For many, these emotional wounds are still tender, open, lightly dressed with a bandage, forgotten, or even neglected. So when these emotions get touched we find ourselves reacting in ways that aren’t in line with the kind of person we want to be.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist Associate, I use attachment-based, existential, and systems frameworks. Together, we may work together exploring patterns in relationships, support systems, past and present experiences, and emotions.

Accepting new clients and OHP as of 11/12! My approach is based on the belief that we all have the power to heal and find meaning, yet sometimes we need help doing it. I welcome clients who are struggling with anxiety, stress, or daily challenges and specialize in grief, end-of-life anxiety, and psychedelic integration. Together we will create a supportive, non-judgmental, and collaborative space for this work, emphasizing transparency and trust. I agree with Alan Watts: “When you’re freed from being out to improve yourself, your own nature will begin to take over.” We’re all doing the best we can with what we’ve been given.

From the moment we are born, our experiences and relationships shape the way we value ourselves, others, and the world around us. As we grow, certain experiences may cause us to lose sight of our worth and values, leading us to feel anxious, depressed, confused, angry, or distant from who we are. As your therapist, I am here to help you explore your experiences and achieve your goals in a way that makes sense to you. I want to take the time to really get to know you and understand your life experiences in a way that appreciates where you come from, how you see the world, and where you want to go.

Trauma happens. We rarely can control it; it does not discriminate in who experiences it, and no two individuals experience trauma in the same way. The definition of trauma is not universal. What may be traumatic for one may not be for another. And the path to recovery is as unique as the experience itself. You may not have chosen to experience trauma, but you can choose your path to recovery. You have the power to recover. Trauma does not limit its impact on those who experienced it; it also impacts loved ones. It can take the form of conflict, stress and anxiety, burnout, parenting struggles, or caregiving for a loved one.

Therapy is deeply vulnerable work, but by building trust in the therapeutic relationship we can explore and identify automatic patterns and habits that may be keeping you from feeling your best and work together to practice new ways of living. In my work, I pull from a variety of theoretical approaches including Brainspotting, EMDR, CBT, Family Systems Theory, Internal Family Systems, Attachment Theory, Narrative Therapy, Polyvagal Theory, and Mindfulness Based practices.
