My clients are motivated for positive change and put the work in to reap the fruits of their labor. My clients want to change their lives for the better - I am here to help guide them along their path. Reaching out to a therapist can be daunting, my hope is to ease that process through a non-judgmental free 20-minute consultation over the phone or zoom. These are free and are in no way binding!

My area of expertise is working with individual adults and couples. My clients come from a range of cultural and identity backgrounds. I specialize in working with relationship ambivalence and/or conflict, identity development and questions, family of origin processing, shame and confidence, body image, trauma, anxiety, and depression. Clients who work with me can expect a collaborative, connected space where we will work to implement the changes you are wanting in your life.
Are you someone who uses humor to hide your emotions? Are you anxious about expressing yourself to others or showing vulnerability? Is fear or anxiety a guide in your life and affecting your day to day life? Do you project to others that you "have it all together" but not actually feel that way on the inside? Do you and your partner feel disconnected and wanting to feel more connected? Do you want to heal from trauma or an eating disorder? I work with you to gain skills and insights for change.
My calling is to support those who are deep feelers and thinkers, people who desire to live authentically and lead fulfilling and rich lives of connection and purpose. As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and Registered Yoga Teacher I incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, yoga, somatic healing modalities, and eating disorder recovery approaches into therapy. If you're looking for a holistic approach that honors the whole person, let's connect!

I know what it's like to feel broken, like counseling just doesn't work for you. I felt frustrated with the experience of talk therapy, having some progress but digressing again. I specialize in working with clients who have experienced chronic disconnection in their lives, helping them understand what is actually going on in their brains and bodies when they are defensive, anxious, depressed, emotionally dysregulated, etc. Through understanding and "bottom-up" approaches we can get unstuck.
Therapist for those seeking mental health treatment with anxiety, trauma, depression, substance abuse, relationship Issues, gender and racial identity acceptance, and the typical and not so typical life issues that we all face along the way. You will receive genuine empathy and emotional support, as well as experienced counseling over a wide array of issues life might throw. I specialize in helping clients unlock their own inner strength and reclaiming their sense of self worth.
Even the "little" things feel overwhelming. Balancing work, relationships, and that inner voice that says you're not good enough is a constant struggle. Dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or relationship distress can make you feel like you're losing control. Despite looking like you've got your shit together, you're plagued with self-doubt, irritability, and a sense of hopelessness, and it's hard to make lasting changes. To put it plainly, life feels exhausting.
Many people I work with typically find themselves in a place on their path where they feel stuck. Whether they’re experiencing facets of historical and/or intergenerational trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, relational struggle, identity obstacles, and more, I find many people struggle to access the strengths they innately possess to move through life’s challenges. Many internal AND external factors contribute to the disempowerment of self, who we can more fully recover, together.
Do you feel like your relationship has lost the connection that it once had? Have you found yourself struggling to be heard, understood and accepted by others? Do you find yourself in arguments with your partner that feel like the same one over and over again? If you have answered yes to any of these questions then you are not alone. I work with many clients who find themselves feeling stuck in life and their relationships without knowing what to do next.

Are you constantly feeling overwhelmed by your thoughts or feelings? Do you feel like something in your past is making it difficult for you to enjoy your life? That no matter what you try, things aren't feeling better? Please know you are not alone. I work with clients to develop awareness about who we are, how we interact with our world, and why we do the things we do. This awareness empowers us to have choices over who we are and how we navigate our worlds.
Past wounds are haunting you and you feel like you can no longer hide them away. It feels as if the past defines your present and your future. On the surface, you seem fine. You're getting by. In fact, you're everyone's go to person because you don't miss a beat. Underneath the thin facade is a mess of confusing emotions: shame, sorrow, anger, and many more emotions all muddled together. You're still reading at this time because something tells you it's time to get your life back.

How can I get control over my emotional reactions --"Can you help me get over past trauma that's holding me back" -- “I keep seeking some kind of fulfillment or peace but it always seems just out of reach” --"I'm feeling stuck. How can I get unstuck!" -- "What are some tools to get over my anxiety" --"I long to be more connected to my spirituality" --
