Do you feel overwhelmed, anxious, worried, depressed, and lack self confidence? I specialize in helping those who are struggling with eating disorders, sexual trauma, and anxiety. You can live a happy life and overcome obsessions about food and your body, control the emotions of sexual assault, and live in peace. I've had the privilege of helping people deal with these challenges for over 10 years. I have seen clients gain self-esteem, happiness, health, and confidence. Although compassionate I am not a sit-back and nod therapist. I will hold you accountable and I will give you tools.

Unfortunately we live in a hectic and fast paced world. At times things can be overwhelming, often feeling negative and hopeless that change will ever occur. I have worked with clients struggling with depression, social anxiety, mood disorders and self-esteem issues sort out their own darkest and deepest moments. We all have bridges to cross and at times reaching out to a health care professional is the first step. Allow me to be that stepping stone for you.......

Need to talk? Feel stressed, confused, or overwhelmed? Need to work through issues that maybe keeping you from being your best? Its important to get help we need & I'm so proud of you for being here- that's often the hardest part is asking for help. Therapy to me- is like Kintsugi, the art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with gold, - making it even more beautiful. This treats breakage/flaws as the most amazing part. It takes on a positive approach to healing. "Trauma" actually means wound- once healed- it can be stronger than ever before.

If life has become too overwhelming, I would love to help you transition back to a sense of happiness.
I firmly believe in meeting the client in where they are in their life’s journey, creating a place free of judgment or barriers. I believe everyone has the chance for personal growth and can benefit from therapy. The mind can create cognitive distortions, inaccurate thoughts that produce negative emotions. My belief is that challenging those negative thoughts at their onset is the best line of defense to keep you from reinforcing the negative thought pattern.

I integrate behavioral and psychodynamic principles to illuminate the meaning behind symptoms and elicit growth. It takes two minds to think - so together we'll do that. Compassionately, thoughtfully, playfully. We'll look deeply underneath and beyond what's troubling you, and search together for a more meaningful and engaging way of living. And laugh a little along the way.

Anxiety, depression, and stress exist for everyone in some form or fashion; a small amount can even be helpful and/or adaptive. However, if you find yourself becoming overwhelmed often, increasingly isolated, and feeling more disconnected from your life, it might be time to seek extra support. Many people experience some sort of mental health issue at some point in their lives and there are ways to feel better and improve your mental health. Therapy can be an important step toward those goals.
