Are you feeling helpless, lonely and tired of your struggles? Why are you getting caught in repetitive, unwanted pattern of life? Do you want to make sense of your life and gain more control? Do you need someone who can listen to you with keen observation, respect and compassion, who can empower and equip you to overcome your chronic or more acute struggles? You probably want more than just to alleviate your pain, but to understand your life and relational patterns, to explore your deep seated belief and fear, your unmet desire and longing, and to live your life well. If this resonates you, I welcome you to contact me.

You are worthy. You are capable. You are not broken. You can get through this. These are phrases that may be hard to believe for all of us at times due to various life experiences, transitions, or circumstances. While partnering with clients I use a mix of approaches, namely cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). The best fit therapy approach coupled with a strength-based perspective is used to support you in managing emotional distress, increasing self-respect, developing and maintaining new skill sets for coping, and navigating through life’s challenges.

When I was a girl there was no one to tell my deepest darkest secrets. My life's work is to be a trusted, healing person to those in pain. My therapy room is many things: a confessional, a delivery room, a crucible, a place of radical honesty with a whole lot of grace. Most of all it is a safe place for you to tell your story, to find strength and hope, to cry, and to heal. I embrace a holistic approach which considers your spirit, mind, body, & community.

Welcome, I'm truly grateful you're here. Choosing to engage in therapy shows courage, care and curiosity. Therapy is about exploring the questions that keep you up at night: What do I want?
