Does this sound familiar? You spend your days providing for everyone else - your kids, your partner, your boss, your friends or family. Constantly tending to the needs and expectations of others, all the while feeling resentment and overwhelm build because said needs and expectations have become too much for you manage. Sure, on the outside you’re doing is fine. Maybe even better than fine! Perhaps you have everything you thought you wanted…but when you take a moment to pause and examine your life you’re left wondering “is this it" and "If it is…why do I feel so overwhelmed and disconnected?”

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I strive to create a space for individuals and families to feel safe and open as we work through some of life's hardest challenges. It can feel overwhelming considering where to start and what to tackle first. Seeking guidance takes a lot of strength and courage.

We all get stuck & that's simply part of being imperfectly human. There are times in life when we need someone to walk beside us as we navigate new paths into healthier relationships. Relationships with ourselves and others. Intentionally cultivating new patterns of interaction and deconstruction patterns that no longer serve us. I act as a choreographer of conversations, aimed to explore emotional connections & attachment injuries and impasses. As humans, we have a biological need to feel seen to be safe, secure & connected in our relationships. I work collaboratively with clients creating safety, change & a new path forward.

For 2 decades I have empowered and walked beside many clients as they have overcome difficult and stressful issues in their lives. While I am comfortable working with many mental health issues, I have developed special interest in walking beside woman in their journey with cancer, working with individuals on the gender spectrum, working with adolescents, and walking along side of people who are experiencing grief and depression. I believe that I easily hold out hope for others until they can hope for themselves.

Whatever your situation that has led you to seek therapy, one thing for certain is that change is inevitable, and growth is optional. We may not always recognize our agency, but we can choose whether to lean into the changes around us, or resist them. If you are curious about how to lean in, talk therapy can help.
