Hello, we are accepting new patients! Whether you're feeling down or anxious, struggling with hurtful and dysfunctional familial dynamics, having difficulty achieving a healthy work-life balance and/or enduring or wanting to heal from past or current traumas, you have found an ally. Developmental, relational and attachment trauma disconnects us from ourselves, our loved ones and even our spirituality. These types of traumas can leave us feeling isolated, unfulfilled and despondent. We all deserve to feel at peace - and that begins by learning how to heal.

Are you a working professional feeling stressed or overwhelmed due to changes at your job or home? Are you feeling grief or trauma over losing loved ones, employment, or lifestyles and struggling to move forward? Do you feel like you are constantly setting goals you're unable to achieve? Life can be unpredictable and uncontrollable at times leading us to feel stuck and sometimes shifting our perspectives and focusing on the things we can change or learning healthy ways to cope can help us move forward.

The “nothing is ever good enough” feeling won’t go away by doing more. It's something I notice all the time working with millennials. We tend to approach our challenges by doing more rather than slowing down and noticing what’s going on inside of ourselves. Whether you're single or partnered, starting a family or wondering about life without kids, frustrated about where you are now, or just hung up on what the heck comes next, I want you to know – I hear you. You can think of therapy with me as a safe environment where you can start showing up more fully for yourself.

We experience many changes and challenges, such as relocation, growing within relationships, parenthood, or changes in education, career or employment status. Loss comes in many forms, and grief looks different for each individual. Therapy is a way to navigate these challenges, to grow self-awareness and coping skills, and to find meaning in the unexpected, while exploring the external and internal factors that influence our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
