Specializing in attachment-based, client-centered, and cognitive-behavioral approaches, I guide clients through shifts in beliefs, purpose, and identity. My therapeutic approach includes attachment-based therapy, client-centered therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). Whether questioning faith, exploring sexual or gender identity, or re-evaluating relationships, I provide a judgment-free space to understand and process these changes.

Life is a journey of ebbs and flows. Sometimes we get, or feel, lost along the way, and that's okay. It's actually the natural way of things. Though there is wisdom in the saying, “This too shall pass", it doesn't mean that you go through the challenges of life on your own. Fostering connection and greater insight is the heart of my inspiration toward helping others discover themselves and the world around them with greater clarity and sense of well-being. Clients that gravitate toward my style and approach are often navigating symptoms of depression and anxiety while seeking healthier relationships with themselves and others.

Transformation doesn't ask that you stop being you. It demands that you find a way back to the authenticity and strength that's already inside of you. -Cheryl Strayed. I believe that everyone has the power within to heal themselves.As a therapist, there is nothing more sacred than being involved in someone's story and being able to help them find light in a world that can at times seem rather dim. My objective is to walk gently and compassionately with my clients on their paths toward creating a life full of meaning and growth.

I appreciate the complexity of people. I believe in trying to understand all aspects in someone's life and recognizing the impact of their experiences, relationships, and understandings into the current way of life. There are reasons for certain beliefs about ourselves and others. I utilize my training and my own self in helping a client come to witness ideas and behaviors within themselves And then, find ways to make changes, find balance, and maybe even happiness.

Hi! I know it can be hard to found the right therapist; and applaud you for searching for a good fit for you. I am trained in trauma, CBT, mood disorders, EFT, substance use treatment and EMDR. I love to use my sense of humor, to help build rapport and relationships quickly. I am dedicated, resilient and can pivot when needed. I believe we all have a story from our personal experience, and we all store that differently in our body and mind and experience it in a variety of ways. I believe that exploring and understanding the way we experience life events are important.

We are becoming more aware how psychological pain increases when we haven't developed a strong sense of self. Such distress, presenting in forms such as depression and anxiety, can keep us from profound and beautiful connection. Healthy relationships we have with ourselves and others are essential for our emotional well-being. First, live a life that reflects who you are, even if others don't quite understand. Trying to conform to what others want has never been possible. In the Power of Awareness, Neville wrote, "The awareness of 'being' remains regardless of the degree of forgetfulness of who, where and what I am."

Do you ever wonder how you've gotten to the place you are? Have you tried to pinpoint a particular event or relationship that seemed to have "caused" your discontent? Perhaps you're looking for the person you "used to be." Oftentimes, the reasons for feeling the way we do are complex and take time to uncover. My approach is supportive and collaborative, working with you to explore the things that are keeping you from feeling the way you want to. I will walk with you on your own personal path, in hopes that you begin to feel more connected with yourself, the people you love, and to the world around you.

I work with individuals who have experienced trauma, are struggling with anxiety and depression, or are just feeling overwhelmed with the emotions and stress of the human experience. Using effective modalities, such as EMDR and IFS, together we uncover the root cause of distress and work to resolve issues. My clients learn the neuroscience of how the mind, heart and body are interdependent parts of our complex physiology, and use that knowledge to develop practical, tangible tools that create lasting changes. I aim to empower clients to take charge of their wellness so that therapy is not an endless endeavor.
