Ever made to feel never enough? Do you fear how others would react if you were to make a mistake, share your authentic self, or reveal your family or relationship is not as picture perfect? Are you haunted by your past, worried about the future, or feel in some way “broken”? We all learn ways to cope when in an invalidating environment. Perhaps you are the supportive rock for your friends that believe you have it all together. Maybe you learned it was safest to be invisible, perfect, or take care of everyone but yourself. These strategies have at one time helped, but are now keeping you from living the life that you want.

I offer a warm, non-judgmental, creative space and provide trauma-informed support for a diverse range of individuals & couples—folks struggling with anxiety or depression; those wanting to tend to intimate & social relationships; individuals wrestling with identity, alignment of values, or career-oriented concerns; and people who are working through grief and life transitions. With my own background in the arts, I also work closely with people who identify as artists seeking additional support or to explore that aspect of their lives.

I often work with clients who are seeking recovery from traumatic experiences and other stressful life events. I specialize in working with clients who have symptoms of PTSD, anxiety disorders, OCD, and adjustment disorders due to life stressors/transitions. I am interested in working with clients who are willing to explore how their experiences inform and impact their thoughts, feelings and behaviors. My hope is that we will be able to identify and possibly shift patterns that are no longer serving you, so that you can live in alignment with your unique values and goals moving forward.

As a trauma-informed, somatic, and relational therapist, I approach therapy with a lot of curiosity, gentleness, and eagerness to explore what is happening for clients in the present moment. I often encourage clients to check in with the sensations in their bodies and may highlight patterns I notice. I strive to create a non-judgmental space where clients can access and explore their emotions and experiences, enabling a deeper connection to themselves and others. I also like to bring (appropriate) humor into sessions. I believe that building a strong therapeutic relationship is a key part of the process!

What do you want to change? At the shorter end of things, it's possible to make positive changes in a handful of sessions. This is often the case for issues related to specific events. For more serious and/or chronic problems, longer-term work is appropriate, especially when a sufficiently safe therapeutic relationship takes more time to build.

My therapeutic passion lies in facilitating the release of trauma and repressed emotions, exploring spirituality, values, and meaning, exploring subconscious behavior patterns, and deprogramming from societal conditioning. I use many awareness and psychological tools, and tailor my practice to your individual needs, values, and therapy goals. I support those who have experienced oppression, who don't fit into unrealistic societal boxes, and who may be at odds with social expectations that limit authenticity. You may be noticing that you cannot control your thoughts and emotions, but we can change our relationship with them.

Are anxiety and low self-worth regulars in your life? The process of recognizing old stories, beliefs, and patterns can be overwhelming. It can bring up confusion, fear and grief. Changing old ways, that once kept you safe, can feel ungrounding and chaotic. Shifting what you've been familiar and comfortable with is deeply challenging and takes a great deal of strength and vulnerability. I believe healing, growth and change are lifelong practices, and transformation requires time, space, patience and self-compassion. Therapy can offer a safe and caring relationship that supports you in doing this life changing work.

Counseling for self-esteem, anxiety, trauma, depression, and life stressors. I support clients wanting to change persistent feelings of not being good enough, heal from their past, and build more connection, joy, and fulfillment in life. Many of my clients want to understand patterns they feel stuck in, build a secure relationship with self and others, relate to their thoughts differently, regulate and sit with emotions, express their needs, and slow down a restless mind and body. Clients that have been most successful with me tend to be goal-oriented and are accepting of their role in their personal growth.

It feels like nothing you do is good enough, sapping your energy and joy from life. The critical inner voice as at a volume 10, and things just don’t feel worth attempting to do anymore. You are worn out, and tired of repeating the same patterns. You feel alone.
