Are you ready to break free from unhelpful thinking styles and behaviors that are holding you back from living a more fulfilling life? During times of stress do you tend to be too hard on yourself rather than attending to your own needs? Would you like to feel more empowered with effective strategies to better manage worry, low mood, irritability or self-criticism? Coping with mental health challenges while also attending to work, relationship or health related concerns can be overwhelming. You deserve a safe and compassionate space to openly process your thoughts and feelings.

Anxiety, depression, or bipolar disorder can feel like heavy burdens that overhwhelm you or your loved one and make you feel hopeless. Having a trained mental health professional to talk to can help in seeing a path forward and finding a sense of joy, resiliency, and belief in yourself. I help clients and family members of persons with chronic mental health illnesses as well as life transitions.

Maybe you've always known that therapy would be helpful, but it never seemed that urgent, until now. Whatever it was that motivated you to seek help, an anxiety attack, that ongoing depression, a relationship issue, or old memories that still sting - you deserve a supportive and safe place to fully explore your experience. One of my passions is working with women and queer folks re-discovering themselves after difficult experiences. I also enjoy working with couples navigating relationship difficulties, and people processing religious trauma, among many other issues not listed here.

Brené Brown says that “sometimes the bravest and most important thing you can do is just show up.” My clients are those who want to show up for themselves. They are often deeply-feeling, highly-sensitive people who have struggled to integrate all parts of themselves, but who are ready to experience the confidence that comes from owning painful chapters of their stories. My clients have often survived trauma and want to meet their past in a way that opens up freedom for their future. In other words, my clients are brave change-makers who haven’t yet fully realized that their sensitivity is perhaps their greatest superpower.

Welcoming New Clients- Change is difficult, I understand that and want to help. If you are feeling overwhelmed or distressed in life, it is important you know you do not have to carry this load alone. Seeking help in times of need demonstrates strength and a desire for growth. I would be honored to be your ally as you take that important first step towards healing and change. Currently, I work with adults who are experiencing life stage transitions (i.e. becoming a new parent, empty nesting etc.), coping with anxiety, depression, navigating difficult relationships, grief and more. I see clients both in-person and online.

Therapy is a vulnerable process, and my goal is to meet clients where they’re at and work with them in a warm, engaging, and direct manner. I work with clients collaboratively, seeing you as the expert of your own life and me as a third party to help see patterns, ask questions, and hold difficult things with you. My goal is to see holistic change for each client. I work from a systems perspective, meaning I incorporate the way your family, friends, community, work, etc. affect who you are. With this knowledge, we can build healthy frameworks and relationships.

Therapy is a wonderful opportunity for personal growth. It is also helpful in overcoming human experiences such as anxiety and depression, for improving relationships and for changing behaviors that may be hindering our quality of life. It is common to experience hesitation or ambivalence when starting therapy, much like many other new beginnings.

If you’re a woman who looks like she has it all together, but inside feels anything but—constantly on edge, juggling everyone’s expectations, and carrying unspoken weight from past relationships or experiences—you’re in the right place. You've likely tried the self-help books, the deep breathing, the yoga, and you may feel frustrated that it seems to be working for everyone else while you remain stuck. Whether it’s navigating people-pleasing, reclaiming boundaries, or healing from sexual trauma, our work together will focus on deepening your understanding of yourself and creating a life that you are excited about.
