My hope for our work together is that you can begin to process and engage the pain that we so often don’t want to make space for. Instead of ignoring or pathologizing whatever has gotten you stuck, we will explore ways to honor and grow from these realities.

Therapy can be a powerful way to better understand yourself. With deeper self-knowledge, we can have healthier relationships with ourselves and others, and lead more connected and meaningful lives. In our work together, we’ll collaborate to uncover parts of your story that are hidden, misunderstood, or in need of compassionate attention. At the same time, we’ll hold an awareness of how systemic power structures have shaped our relationships with self and other. In our work together, we'll will foster more awareness, fluidity, and connection in the areas of your life where you may currently be feeling stuck, rigid, or disconnected.

You may be ready to make a change, yet are unsure of which way to move or feel too frozen to take a step. Perhaps it is overwhelming to inhabit your body or revisit the past, you fear that you’ll be flooded by sensations or memories. Maybe a part of you wants to connect with others and another part worries that you'll just be hurt again. Whatever your reason for seeking therapy, I believe that you have the innate capacity for healing within you. Therapy is a way to cultivate the right conditions for healing seeds to bloom. I aim to create a warm and accepting space - one that can foster insight, growth, belonging, and even joy.

I help motivated women stop feeling, numb, anxious, and checked out so you can enjoy your life. You need to get a handle on your triggers, or your relationships will suffer. You don't want to react this way, but it's out of your control. There is trauma lurking at the surface and you’re ready to address it so you can feel more confident, calm, and energized. Are you finding yourself reactive, anxious, tired, and overwhelmed? You’re not alone and I can help.

I'm passionate about supporting late teens and young adults (ages 16-35) who are processing where they come from, what they inadvertently picked up along the way, and what they want to intentionally set down or take with them. Some people call this deconstruction and reconstruction. It may involve processing relationship patterns, building self-compassion, grieving a loss, learning to set different boundaries, or re-examining a faith you once took for granted. I also have experience working with teens and young adults diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes to cope with a new diagnosis or move through feelings of burnout.

I work with parents and caregivers of neurodiverse children to help them navigate raising their unique humans. I also work with individuals struggling with anxiety and depression brought on by chronic or sudden life stressors. This work is largely about identifying and examining old beliefs, coping mechanisms, and patterns of communication from the person's past that are no longer useful in current situations. In this way, people can learn and grow beyond their old habits.

I work with teens and adults who identify as quirky/nerdy, highly-intelligent, introverted, highly-sensitive, or as having ADHD or Autism (or some combination of these). Those with these traits often share something: a sense of outsider-ship, of not quite belonging. This can lead to loneliness, shame, isolation, depressions, self-loathing--all that fun stuff. I, myself, have 3 or 4 of the above traits, AND was homeschooled on top of it, so my own sense of outsider-ship was crowned with awkward homeschooler social skills :) Working, both on self-acceptance, and feeling like I belong, is something I enjoy sharing with my clients.

Do you struggle to feel arousal or pleasure during sex? Have you lost the sexual spark and excitement in your relationship? Do you struggle with desires, thoughts, and behaviors that you feel as though you can’t share with others for fear of shame, stigma, ignorance, or violence? Have you struggled to understand yourself as a sexual being due to stigmatizing beliefs and messages? Navigating the nuances of relationships, sex, sexual health, sexual identity, and gender identity can be difficult and exhausting on its own. Through open-minded, compassionate, and culturally competent care, I am committed to help you meet your goals.

Counseling is a space where we get to focus on helping you move towards a life that is more fulfilling, meaningful, and connected. I work with people struggling with anxious thoughts, depression, or challenging relationships. Some are trying to navigate dating, intimacy, and partnership. Some have experienced spiritual abuse or are coming out of religious systems that have left them confused and even traumatized. Some of the people I work with are unpacking their past and trying to be free of difficult patterns. Many people are just stuck and want some help figuring out why. Counseling helps you get unstuck.

Hello and welcome! It's not easy being a human navigating complex systems and interruptions to our preferred narrative of life. Our agency can become overshadowed by biological, social, psychological, cultural, familial, and political expectations - leaving us feeling conflicted, fatigued, reactive, confused, and uncertain. Utilizing a unique combination of narrative therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and polyvagal theory, I collaborate with clients age 13 and up, to identify how these expectations cause conflict and reconstruct experiences where the client can respond to life from a place of agency and Self.

Fall means new routines and settling into school, and for some kids and parents, hard transitions. For adults, the season can feel like a new beginning, but what if you are unsure where to start? If you are looking for support for yourself, your child or your family, I have weekday openings. Therapy with me is a collaborative process. I want to hear about your hopes and dreams and co-create a plan for you to meet them.

Grief is a natural response to loss. Loss can be the death of someone, or the end of something, a change in ability or perception, a change in relationship with someone, or a traumatic event. The response (grief and sorrow) to these life events is painful and emotional but can also be physical. It can be expressed with depression and anxiety, as well as cognitively and behaviorally. The goal of treatment is to find peace and understand each individual's strengths, and ability to heal.
