Tantrums, timeouts, tears—repeat. Those big feelings come out in unexpected, unhealthy ways or are trapped below, so deeply, it begins to eat away at their self confidence. It is painful to watch as their behavior and mood worsen, and that child gets harder and harder to parent. They're trying to be strong, but are carrying a weight too heavy for their little shoulders. You have to be so strong but you are losing connection with yourself in the process. If any of this resonates with you, we may be a good fit. I'm passionate about working with children ages 2 and up, adolescents, adults, and young parents.

Here you are, in the frustrating position of scrolling through therapists online. You do not want to book an intake and tell someone your whole life story only to realize a few sessions in that they are just nodding, not saying much and you don't click. So, are we going to talk about feelings? Sure. And, I believe in a no bullshit approach to therapy. I will hold you accountable to create the change you want to see in your life. I bring body scans, breathing exercises, movement, silence, listening and laughter to every session. Because if we aren't laughing, we're crying.

I believe everyone deserves a space to process, heal, and grow no matter the circumstance. My therapeutic approach is rooted in collaboration, resiliency, and compassion. I believe healing is a nonlinear process and unique to each individual. I am passionate about facilitating a safe environment in which individuals can explore their own path of self-discovery. I use experiential, expressive arts, body-based, cognitive, and behavioral approaches in my work with clients. I work with teens and adults who have experienced trauma, loss, and eating disorders.

Each person comes to therapy for honest reasons. As we live, we often get overwhelmed, stuck, we suffer, and lose ourselves/others. Through cultural conditioning, we have forgotten to see the sacred in grief and honor what was. I get to join with others to help dissolve what is blocking them from their innate wisdom to know selves and connect with others. When I work with helping couples repair, I get to come alongside each person to help them not feel alone in their experience. I am an experienced relationship therapist (and work in progress). I enjoy helping people become more securely attached and live according to their values.
