With grace, and humor, we'll work with you to address challenges impacting your health, happiness, and relationships with others. It's our philosophy that whatever affects our emotional health (isolation, depression, anxiety, trauma) will affect our physical well-being (appetite, sleep, weight gain). Not too many people enjoy change and these past few years have been nothing but a roller coaster! I'd enjoy the opportunity to talk with you and understand how you're doing. How have you been affected by changes? Is BreakThrough! right for you?

Internet/Social Media/ Gaming Addiction. Just one more game, one more TikTok, one more reel. Before you know it, hours have passed, and you’re no closer to starting your day, finishing work, or connecting with family. You feel stuck in a cycle of internet and gaming addiction, trying to break free but struggling. Those '5 minutes' turn into hours, sometimes without you even noticing. You’ve tried reminders, timers, and 'self-discipline,' but nothing sticks. What are you missing? Why can others seem to manage their use, while yours is seemingly taking over your life?

Making the decision to seek therapy is a powerful moment in your life, and finding the right therapist is the next step on that path. I see my role as a partner and witness in your exploration of what being a whole person means to you. Anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues or a general feeling of being "stuck" are just some of the possible issues that might bring you to therapy. Regardless of the reason you may choose to work with me, you can expect to find a place of acceptance in which to share your authentic self.

I think deep down we all want spaces where we can be totally real. Where we can say whatever we think or feel and not be judged for it. When we don't have these spaces, we learn to hide in order to protect ourselves. We don't say what we actually think or feel for so long that sometimes we stop knowing ourselves or feeling known by others. We get stuck in patterns that we don't want, but don't know how to get out of. If you're sick of feeling stuck, therapy is a great place to start. Once we make space to know ourselves, change can actually happen.

You’re tired of being on autopilot, pretending that everything’s fine because you know it’s not. You feel like you’re sinking into quicksand with no way out. You’re overwhelmed, worried, and exhausted. You know that what you’re currently doing isn’t working, but you feel helpless and unsure of what to do differently.

Are you ready to begin making significant changes in your life? A trained professional can help stand by and guide you; you're not alone. I typically treat depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, adjustment, and relationship issues, but I was educated to work with a broad spectrum of mental health issues. During my training, I received specialized clinical experiences for working with survivors of traumatic events, have felt marginalized by society or their family systems due to their identities, career issues, relationship problems (e.g., loneliness, insecurity, preoccupation, attachment, etc.), and issues with body image and eating.

Whatever you are going through, you shouldn't have to go through it alone. Sometimes, we encounter barriers that can keep us from living the joyous life we deserve. Maybe those barriers include: depression, anxiety, or trauma reactions. Perhaps you need help on building your skills, strengths, resiliency, and emotional awareness to cope with the various challenges throughout life. Or, maybe you want the tools to align your life with your values and vision. Even though painful, difficult experiences are inevitable, that does not mean we can't live our best lives, or be our most authentic and fulfilled selves.

I approach therapy with compassion, humor and curiosity. I enjoy working with clients with obsessional fears and urges, and compulsive behaviors that get in the way of their lives. I'm certified by the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF) in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), which is a cognitive behavioral therapy approach specific to treating OCD. I use ERP in tandem with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which is a transdiagnostic approach that is also effective in treating OCD and related disorders.

Truth. Life’s complicated and we’re too hard on ourselves. My clients are typically women going through two key transitions in their life: emerging adulthood and adjusting to parenthood. My clients are often leaving home, graduating, establishing their careers, and starting a family. They are often really good at taking care of others and not as good at taking care of themselves. I specialize in working with anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism, and boundary challenges. As well as concerns related to the adjustment to parenthood, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, birth trauma, infertility, and pregnancy loss.

We need help to feel secure in, trust, and make sense of our emotional experiences. When we don’t get the help we need, we can feel stuck, insecure, anxious, depressed, or hopeless. Over time, this often leads to patterns of feeling emotionally dead, chronically overstimulated, or, simply, feeling out of touch with oneself. Therapy is a kind of relationship in which we are able to recover our own sense of self by exploring those emotional experiences, large or small, that for whatever reason come to mind, stay with us, and make us pay attention to them.
