You find yourself operating on autopilot most days - perhaps you're still getting things done, but not connecting to meaning, purpose, or your authentic self. Perhaps life is getting the best of you and you can't seem to come out on top any longer. It may be that anxiety attacks or panic dot the landscape of your life, or that you're feeling the steady creep of depression. Unwanted memories from the past may be taking their toll. You're ready to live a connected, joyful, authentic life, free from the fog of whatever might be holding you back.

Reaching out to a therapist can be scary, especially if you've had a bad experience. My approach is non-judgmental, individualized, and collaborative, and I strongly believe it is key to first earn the trust of my clients. My style has been developed over the nearly two decades I've worked in mental health and through the 9,000+ hours of therapy, coaching, and supervision I've offered since becoming a therapist in 2011.

I would love to explore and assist you in aligning your attractor field with your authentic self. You can shift your daily experiences by uncovering what your deepest desire is attracting and manifesting in life. Are you ready to consciously meet your needs rather than allowing hidden imprints and beliefs to create repeating loops. Many symptoms of mental health including past trauma, addictive tendencies, and relationship issues can create a loss of hope and loss of excitement about life. I will assist you in clearing a path for your next chapter in the book of life.

Life's not going quite how you thought it would. You’re exhausted. Empty. Unfulfilled. You don’t feel good enough. Maybe you feel like "too much". You hide your pain from those around you because you don’t want to be a burden or think they won't understand. Maybe you're wondering how every else seems to have it all together and what you're doing wrong. Surely there's an instruction manual you missed somewhere, right? Or perhaps you're just looking for someone to sit with you in your struggle, challenge you, and/or support your growth. If any of this resonates with you, let's chat.

You feel like you keep repeating the same patterns over and over again. From a bird's eye view, you can understand it. You can pinpoint how the past has affected your present, but you're wondering why you can't change your issues yourself. Anxious thoughts and a rollercoaster of emotions keep you feeling out of control. You feel secure in your relationship but your self-worth doesn't match your situation. On top of that, you're still dealing with all of the extra stressors coming from balancing work, family, and your social life. Everyone else sees you as thriving but you feel like your head is barely above water.

I especially enjoy working with individuals who are needing assistance with difficult relationships, trauma recovery, transitional life issues, and stress management.

Anxious, stressed, uneasy, afraid, agitated, out of control- The people I work with describe these feelings and more after months or years of being driven by anxiety in their thoughts, actions, and relationships. Anxiety is not the enemy, but it doesn’t deserve to be driving the car either. Therapy can empower you to take back the driver’s seat, and allow you to find a sense of freedom and comfort in your own mind and body. I love helping clients learn to overcome anxiety, and to navigate the relationship concerns and family issues which are often interwoven with anxiety.
