Life and relationships can be difficult to navigate, worsened by the pressures we put on ourselves to be perfect. Often, anxiety, depression, and external demands create roadblocks to our happiness/ success and even create problems in our relationships. I help people like you learn to conquer their inner bully and create healthy, clear boundaries so you can experience the most meaningful and engaging relationships possible. I will help you will gain insight into why you work the way you do and develop strategies to live a more purposeful, balanced life.

I hold a safe, non-judgmental space for you, where you can openly express your thoughts, emotions, and experiences and where we can build a strong foundation of collaboration and growth.

Children and adults express themselves authentically when given the freedom to play with ideas and explore their internal worlds through symbols and stories. In our hurried lives, we don't often have the time or space to process feelings and experiences that get stuck inside and come out in ways we wish they wouldn't. Both children and adults can experience deep inner healing while exploring this process in connection with a caring professional. I work with young children and their parents to increase connection and build trust using play, empathic communication, and mindful compassion and validation.

Are you overwhelmed by negative self-talk? Maybe you feel that no matter how hard you try, you somehow seem to miss the mark you set for yourself. Are you struggling with a sense of overwhelming anxiety, and your usual methods of coping are just not working anymore? Perhaps you've been hesitant to seek professional advice because you had a bad experience with a therapist, or you simply dislike labels. I am here to lend a hand. I strive to practice in a way that is most comfortable for my clients. For some, a diagnosis feels like validation; for others, it's a prison. I am happy to provide the service that best suits your needs.

Every emotion plays an important role when we learn to stop judging our experience and listen: anger tells us when boundaries have been crossed; shame motivates us to find connection and avoid painful mistakes; sadness helps us to let go, honor loss, and act in line with our values. I help adults of all ages, parents, and couples meet their needs with proven approaches, warmth, and directness. Together, we'll tap into your innate wisdom and find courage, skillfulness, and humor to improve your life and relationships. At the end of the day, we all want to relax, connect, and be present in our lives.

Psychotherapy is not just a matter of skills and techniques. Healing occurs when, in a safe environment, you can speak and hear your own voice, tell your own story, and find someone really listening to you. When you feel heard, new insights can emerge. Anxiety, depression, worry, or conflicts constrict your experience and personal relationships. A therapeutic relationship can provide an opportunity to be accompanied as you express your feelings, thoughts, and concerns. You become more open, able to make new choices. Your more authentic self can emerge as your inner landscape changes. I am interested in hearing and seeing you, as you are.

Even in times of stress, worry, pain, despair, and loneliness, there is an opportunity for you to return to wholeness.

Accepting new clients! I enjoy working with teens and young adults experiencing a wide range of issues. I believe the path to wellness is possible for everyone, and each journey is different.

You’ve grown up wondering if you’re weird, wrong, or at fault. You feel like you don’t align with your family, your assigned gender, or traditional relationships. You wonder if you speak the same language as others in your world. You’ve tried to fit in, get things done, and meet others’ standards, but have always felt like you’re missing the mark. You feel stuck, like everyone else knows something you don’t. Now, you want guidance, support, and a deeper understanding of yourself and your ideal life.

In Brene Brown words, "Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing we will ever do." This statement reflects my work's philosophy. The client/therapist relationship has the potential to bring about real change through revealing relational patterns that have developed through life's experiences. I heavily rely on the therapeutic relationship that we will develop together to highlight these patterns in order to bring you more happiness, a sense of calmness and to help open yourself to the possibilities in your life. I honor your strength in taking this important step in realizing your full potential.

Are you feeling a sense of dissatisfaction with the way things are in your life right now?

If you choose, I am open to considering your religion and spirituality, pondering together how faith may help you find meaning in difficult days and how it can sometimes cause harm.

Life can lead us down some pretty confusing paths sometimes, leaving us feeling crazy, unsettled, and totally lost. You don't have to feel like this forever. I work with individuals, couples, and teens who are really going through it - anxiety, panic and stress, relationship issues, PTSD, and unresolved issues that continue to impact current life. Many of my clients are insightful, curious, growth-oriented people who are seeking something beyond traditional therapy. My focus is on helping you to UN-learn all the crap you've taken on over the years that is weighing you down and freeing up whatever it is that seems to be stuck.

Hello! In my years of experience, I have found that my primary method of working with others is to come from a person-centered point of view. We work together to better understand your point of view. I've worked with folks who struggle with anxiety and depression, life stressors, and those who may have a history of trauma. My goal is to come alongside you during your journey and help you discover ways to cope with what has been going on in your life, and to help you address any unhelpful patterns of thought or behavior that may, at times, get in the way of you achieving your personal goals.

Life is sometimes unpredictable and challenging, and you may find you need some guidance and support.

I help people discover a sense of embodiment, self, and aliveness. My clients are intelligent, curious, creative, and sensitive people who seek to deepen their relationships with their bodies, themselves, others, and that which is greater. As a depth-oriented therapist, we will look beneath the surface to understand the deeper currents that move you. We will examine patterns that are holding you, explore the wisdom of your body, practice mindfulness, relate with your unconscious, refer to archetypal imagery, and incorporate strategies to enhance your self-concept, competency, and well-being.

In my approach, I work in partnership with teenagers and adolescents to help them reach the goals they have set for themselves. Often, this work includes healing from past negative experiences and traumas, support during developmental milestones and issues connected “stage of life” challenges. I have deep confidence in a person’s inherent knowledge of self, resilience and ability to heal and grow in order to be their whole self. I have experience working in the field of social work for over ten years, supporting individuals and communities in a variety of environments including the juvenile justice system, education and advocacy work, residential treatment, community-based work and non-profits. In my work I have developed a client-centered, strengths-based and trauma informed practice modality.
