I get so much fulfillment and pride in being a therapist, and I strive to bring that passion into my practice. I aim to build your teenager or child's narrative of therapy as one that is as empowering as possible for them to feel capable in tackling their personal challenges. Together, your child and I will promote their self wellness as something that is not a chore, but a priority.

People often struggle with stressful thoughts, intrusive images, and emotions related to painful life experiences. Violence, sexual assault, life-threatening situations, and other significant or unexpected changes can leave you "stuck." You survive every day, but you're not living the life you want. You may be feeling shame or guilt thinking about what you "should have done", that you "should be over it by now", or "it wasn't that big of a deal, why am I like this?"

My focus is on clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, substance use, and life challenges. Life challenges can include transitions, relationship struggles, career/education direction, finding work/life balance, as well as change and loss.

I believe within each of us are the answers, solutions, and wisdom needed to address the challenges we face throughout the life cycle. It's normal to doubt our own ability to navigate these issues and find the path through them. My role as therapist with an individual, couple, or family, is to guide. The answers reside within the client/s. My job is to facilitate the person's effort to find what is already there.

If you’re in a moment of transition; experiencing anger, anxiety, grief, depression, then I want to connect with you. I see my role as to provide an accepting, warm and nurturing environment where you can comfortably express your feelings. I believe that no emotion is wrong but there are healthy and helpful ways to process them that we can access together. My therapeutic approach is direct and unique to each individual I work with. No two people are alike and your treatment shouldn't be either.

I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced complex trauma. My approach to psychotherapy is collaborative and non-pathologizing. Clients often find me because of my experience as a Certified Internal Family Systems Therapist or Certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. I use experiential models that take us beyond traditional talk therapy by slowing down, connecting with what is happening on the inside, offer healing to the wounded parts, and connecting with inner resources. Client’s often report an increase sense of self-compassion, calmness, clarity & confidence in themselves.

As a Psychologist, I have the honor of working with individuals in their journeys of self-discovery, healing, renewal, and growth; journeys which, at times, have emerged out of periods of life crises & emotional upheaval. I offer individual, couples, and group psychotherapy, working with people navigating a range life transitions and challenges. I work compassionately and collaboratively with clients to explore, discover and overcome aspects of their lives that keep them from recognizing and meeting their full potential. This also involves recognizing and emphasizing clients' strengths, resilience, and assets they already embody.

The process of therapy requires the unmasking of socially condoned violence done to individuals. In therapy, the uncovering process requires digging through layers of neglect and indifference, contempt and ridicule, shame and humiliation, criticism and guilt, exploitation and manipulation. Almost without exception, each breakthrough involves breakage and releases costly feelings of outrage, hatred, and pain. The reparative process calls for understanding, acceptance, and support, along with a ritualistic observance of the symbolic meanings of the events which come to light.

What I hear from kiddos: "I feel alone, worried, anxious, and overwhelmed." Navigating mental health in a way that is non-judgmental and relatable is a big deal. How do they find "their" tools to navigate their present circumstances? School, family, work, social and self-discovery can all present with new challenges and transitions. How do you figure it all out?

I am passionate about the work that I do: helping others enhance their lives in meaningful and lasting ways. You might feel stuck--maybe exhausted--from a struggle with anxiety, stress, and/or depression, leading to a less fulfilling and smaller world around you. Many of us never learned what to do with emotionally or physically distressing experiences; in fact, we're often told to "get over it", "don't worry," or "just do it," which is rarely helpful. It is possible, however, that despite your best efforts, the ways that you are reacting to painful thoughts, emotions, or sensations could actually be increasing your suffering.
