I offer individual therapy as well as EMDR intensives for those who have trauma symptoms, or those who wish to experience deeper transformation by changing negative core beliefs.
Don't let TikTok be your only therapist! Have you been trying to search online to see if your anxiety is "normal"? Do you feel a bit different from your friends? Are you left feeling overwhelmed easily? Are you feeling guilty for setting boundaries with your parents? Feeling unsure about who you are in the world? Does it feel like you put on a calm exterior but internally, you're freaking out? Do you struggle understanding your emotions about your relationship? That's real! And there is nothing wrong with you, I promise. I help anxious women feel stronger in their sense of self, feel less burdened, and understand their inner world.

Perhaps you’ve been struggling with a history of family trauma, or you are currently dealing with difficult and stressful relationship issues with a partner, family members or your children. Maybe you are going through a tough life transition and are trying to discover not only who you are, but why you feel so different or are filled with sadness or anxiety. Maybe you have a secret or are haunted by something from your past and you need a safe place/relationship where you can be your authentic self.

One of my favorite quotes embodies my approach to therapy. “Know all the theories, master all the techniques, but as you touch a human soul be just another human soul.” C.G. Jung Therapy can include warmth, humor, comfort, safety, and fun. As your therapist, I bring the playful spirit of curiosity and a deep love for the transformative power of therapy to our work. My approach is heart-based and guided by your interests, your insights, and your needs. Therapy with me is a collaborative process, and I often receive feedback from clients that they look forward to their sessions.

Be Seen. Be Heard. Be Known. These three brief sentences perfectly summarize my approach as a therapist. I am seeking to be a safe, non judgmental place for my clients to rest and truly be seen, heard and known. I use a multitude of therapeutic approaches (DBT, CBT, Family Systems, Attachment, Narrative, Solutions Focused to name a few) but believe my skills as a relational clinician differentiate me amongst the crowded field of options. I work with Individuals (13+), Couples and Families. I find it a great honor to be a therapist and walk alongside those seeking help and I look forward to connecting with you.

Whether you are looking for solutions to the problems and challenges you face or you are wanting to do deep processing and transformative work, I'll be here to help you flourish.
Are you living with a constant feeling of being unfulfilled? Questioning what's wrong and what to do about it? Are you feeling stuck with no clear path forward? Perhaps you've been experiencing a desire for something that you struggle to identify. With a restless mind and sleepless nights you can't seem to find much joy in any given day. Maybe, you're attempting to fill your life with anything to break through the emptiness of life. The start of the journey towards healing, for some, can leave you feeling utterly overwhelmed and uncertain how to start. For others, you're needing someone to join you on a journey that's already begun.

Life can be difficult and is filled with challenges and traumatic experiences that require our attention and care in order to heal. We are skilled at silencing the aching inside via escape hatches: excessive shopping, over/under eating, using drugs or alcohol, sex, gambling, gaming, etc. Yet, a therapeutic relationship can offer support as we move into freedom by learning to live in the present moment with all life has to offer.

Thanks for your interest, but I am currently not accepting new clients. I am guided by the belief that we are all striving to find happiness in this life, and that we all have a right to be happy, peaceful, and fulfilled. Unfortunately, life can be truly challenging at times, and shame, self-criticism, and anxiety can make it hard to enjoy our lives. Our brains are remarkable in their ability to detect danger and react quickly, but they are not always the best at allowing us to feel relaxed and safe in our modern world.
