Being human is hard. Each one of us, at some point in our lives, faces obstacles to moving forward. We get caught in cycles of running away from pain, and thus stop moving towards our values. My work focuses on helping people develop a relationship to themselves while moving through their pain and struggles- so that they can live life everyday, not just when the sun is shining. When we can befriend ourselves, we can know who we are, what we want, and in what direction we'd like to walk.

Respect, Integrity, Compassion, and Empowerment. These are the values that guide my own life as well as my therapy style. I am interested in assisting you to find the answers that are right for you. I would enjoy working with you individually or as part of a couple or family. My specialties include parent-child, marital, and other relationship issues. I support family preservation whenever possible.

Have you been feeling out of control, exhausted, and isolated by anxiety and depression? Do you find yourself struggling to maintain healthy relationships and boundaries? Are you tired of hating your body and obsessing about food? Do thoughts of food and weight consume you? If you can relate to any of these questions, therapy can help. I can help you overcome the challenges you are facing.

My approach to psychotherapy is reflective, curious, and non-judgmental. First and foremost, my job is to listen to you in ways that help you understand yourself, your experiences, and your relationships more deeply. You may be feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, unfulfilled, disconnected from loved ones, uncertain about the future, or you may simply have a general feeling that something is off for you.

I truly love my work and am driven by my desire to help people make positive change in their lives. Asking for help is difficult and I honor the strength and courage it takes to do so. I strive to create an environment of safety, trust and non-judgement, which are essential elements for authentic healing and transformation to occur. My therapeutic style is supportive, authentic and collaborative. I believe, regardless of one's life circumstances, we all possess resilience, hope and possibility.

Sometimes anxiety, difficult emotions, and painful experiences keep showing up, even when you try your best to manage them. Maybe you’ve become exhausted from constantly pushing them away or toughing it out. You no longer want to feel dominated by fear, worry, or sadness and you are ready to return to (or discover!) a life that closely aligns with your personal values. Having someone who truly listens to you without judgement can be a strong foundation for this work. I believe counseling best honors each client’s unique strengths, challenges, and goals through a collaborative process.

Stories are meant to be told! Let’s talk about the chapters of your story beginning where you feel most comfortable. Undoubtedly, you have faced challenges along the way but let’s also recognize your successes as they are likely what moved you through those challenges. I empower clients to be able to set healthy boundaries, improve communication, foster personal growth/personal insight, and ultimately achieve balance in their lives. Together, we can change the patterns in your relationships, thoughts, feelings, and/or behaviors that keep you feeling stuck, so your story will be the one you want to be living today.
