Every stage in life, every situation we face, brings with it challenges, hardships and opportunities. The psychotherapeutic process brings focus and awareness to where we are now in our lives, where we've been, and the person we want to be. I see the therapeutic process as a journey that we take together. Whether you are an adult, adolescent, or family, my goal is to create a safe, caring, non-judgmental environment where you can explore relationship dynamics, patterns of behavior, identity, and opportunities for growth and change.

For over a decade, I've worked as a life coach and developmental guide, helping people reach their goals, and make positive changes in their behavior, feelings, and relationships. I've also been a sort of sherpa, just helping people carry their stuff up the mountain. (Sometimes, all we need is company.) Often, we get stuck because we have healing work to do that we're not aware of or don't know how to approach. I discovered a gift for helping others hear and understand the parts of themselves that need attention and healing. Consequently, I am getting licensed to work more fully, not just on development, but on healing.

Unhelpful thoughts and behaviors surrounding food and body image are hard. They can begin to control our lives, affecting our relationships with others and our relationship with ourselves.

I help individuals explore, reframe and unlearn unhelpful messaging they may have received from systemic influences. I work with clients in their journeys of attuning to their body, to their relationship with food, to their values and to their most authentic self.

All of us come up with ways to manage life's stresses. Each one of these strategies was born out of a need to protect ourselves - to survive. Yet sometimes, the methods we relied on to help us out of difficult situations end up being the very source of more difficulties. Perhaps you isolate yourself when relationships get hard and leave loved ones feeling abandoned; perhaps the only way you know how to love pushes your child further away; and perhaps you're an achiever who, when the lights are dimmed and applause is gone, feels endlessly empty and small. Your own stuff is getting in the way of you being who you want to be.

I aim to provide a safe space for my clients so that they may experience greater personal growth, healing, and insight. You may be trying to face your emotional scars alone. Yet together, we can explore these topics that may be difficult for you. I want to encourage your growth in self-compassion and self-worth as we work to reframe your unfavorable coping mechanisms. Life is a journey with plenty of obstacles to overcome, yet taking this step to live differently, with more hope, and to live more authentically, is worthwhile.
