If you find yourself struggling with unwanted experiences (painful emotions or moods, intrusive thoughts, chronic physical pain, etc) and feel stuck, no longer enjoying life, or falling further away from being the kind of person you want to be, I am here to help. It is challenging to live a life worth living when you feel constantly side-lined, exhausted, or defeated by fighting the pain that the world throws at you. I will collaborate with you so you can create a purposeful, satisfying, and meaningful life by dropping this struggle and learning to whole-heartedly pursue what matters most to you with flexibility and commitment.

I have been told that I am calming, levelheaded, caring, and flexible. I work with clients of all ages utilizing an integrative, strengths-based, individualized approach to therapy, often combining concepts of self-compassion, mindfulness, and acceptance to help you attain your goals. I believe in helping you to flourish in your life, not just eliminate symptoms. I do this by helping you use your inner creativity, wisdom, resilience, appreciation, and courage to change your life.

At the center of my practice is the belief that we all must learn how to experience the discomfort of feeling and processing difficult emotions. It feels uncomfortable to set boundaries, hold ourselves accountable, hold others accountable, work through our personal struggles with self-love, identify our own maladaptive patterns, and live authentically. In discovering and cultivating the authentic version of ourselves, we all must learn to push through the discomfort of vulnerability. I love working as hard as my clients to support them through that discomfort so they can grow through that difficult process!

If you find yourself struggling with the same issues over and over in your parenting, in your marriage, in your work and social life; if your child is continually frustrated, in trouble or alone at school, or has sustained a mTBI or TBI; if you see your parent or grand-parent having difficulties with expressing themselves, remembering things about their loved ones, their activities or other changes in their abilities, a neuropsychological evaluation may be exactly what you need. An evaluation gives a clear picture of what your cognitive functioning is like, and allows for specific and tailored treatment recommendations.

Unexpected situations and moments sneak upon all of us at some point, leaving us feeling unsettled, yet sometimes those situations threaten to overcome us. They challenge and disrupt our relationships, our lifestyles, and even our core beliefs. We feel as though we are wading through each day - existing - and hoping things will change, but not really knowing where to begin, or if it's even possible. Guess what? As bleak as today is, there is hope. Tomorrow will come, and you can regain control of what your tomorrows will look like.

Everyone has a sense of personal identify. How do you think about yourself? What is important to you? Identities are often imposed or at the very least encouraged by environmental or cultural forces. As a child, were you routinely told, "You can do it!,” or were you more often told; “You can’t do anything right?” The things we hear as children are usually the very things that create our sense of self. Early in life, sense of self is associated with security, protection, and acceptance. If our identity is strongly developed in the early years of life, this helps to protect us against the challenges in life.
