Despite our efforts to be present in our daily life, remnants of our past and stress in our day to day can keep us from being fully able to do so. I will work collaboratively with you, valuing your life experiences and input, to achieve a life with an increased sense of satisfaction. I approach therapy from a holistic, integrative, and humanistic perspective seeking to honor each individual story for its uniqueness. My practice specializes in counseling for adults of all backgrounds seeking relief from past trauma or other life altering experiences, as well as a range of other emotional and relational concerns.

You believe if you do it right you won’t disappoint the people in your world. The trouble is, striving to do everything right often means diminishing yourself and pushing down your true thoughts, feelings, and desires. You’ve become an expert at everyone else’s needs and wants, but you’ve lost yourself along the way. Let’s work together to help you reconnect with yourself and others. Anxiety, people pleasing, and perfectionism are painful. Set down the weight you carry and discover more ease in your everyday life and the deep connected relationships you long for.

Currently Accepting New Clients! I believe relationships play a critical role in the way we navigate throughout our daily lives. We look to our partner(s) for support, validation, encouragement, and empathy. The security in knowing our needs can and will be met, fosters a bond and attachment that is safe and secure. When couples can concede to such emotional engagements, secure bonding can evolve, thus establishing a bond that contributes to overall well-being and quality of life.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Struggling with transition, trauma, or loss? Longing for a life that fits with who you truly are inside? Depression, grief, relationship issues, trauma, & anxiety can leave you exhausted, stuck in painful old patterns. But they can also be opportunities for growth. Therapy is a process of "tending the soul," as well as addressing life's problems. I especially like working with women in midlife.

If you’re tired of recycling the same argument, walking on eggshells with each other or don’t know how to repair your relationship, I can help you get to the root of your disconnection. I help distressed, disconnected couples remember what it's like to be sexy best friends instead of roommates. Together, we will identify your entrenched ways of arguing so that both of you can break these patterns by learning how to clearly state how you’re feeling to your partner and in turn, listen deeply. I'll help you pay close attention to each other, so that you both feel a little more held each time we meet.

As a therapist, I believe we all deserve the space to heal, grow, and awaken to our authentic selves. It can be challenging in our culture and society to listen to our own inner-knowings. Even more challenging if we struggle with anxiety, ADHD, trauma, life transitions, and issues with self-esteem. You are not broken; you are learning and healing in a broken world. That's why I believe in helping clients access their inherent strength and wisdom. Through somatic and experiential therapies that draw on nervous system regulation, mindfulness, and self-compassion, I help my folks meet reality with more resilience and self-trust.

I am passionate about being present with individuals as they experience disappointment, pain, despair, and joy in life and relationships. Sometimes, we need help navigating. I believe together we will discover the power and insight already within you. We undergo a process of examining your inner life, dreams, fantasies, and imagination to discover the inspiration that will allow you to live an authentic life. My approach is individually-focused and relationship-driven. Whatever challenges you are facing; that with a bit of goodwill and openness, much can be uncovered in a relatively short period of time.

I have a history of working with many different types of people and concerns. I work best with people who are willing to do self-observation as that is the key to learning about your own thinking and feeling patterns, which is what we are trying to modify. I take a holistic approach and self-observation provides the basis for all of the other work. It is important to start noticing and working with the sensations in the body that accompany our thoughts and feelings, as our body holds the memories of everything we have ever experienced and is the vehicle in which we move and feel in the world.
