When feeling down or distressed, finding support can be daunting. I believe that mental health struggles are rooted in relationship disconnection, and seeking someone to talk to and problem solve with is a courageous first act of self-care. In our sessions, we will shine a light on patterns of conflict or emotional reactivity that developed in response to stress and trauma. We will get curious about what is working for you already and where there is room for growth. I will empower you to self-soothe and guide you in deepening relationships in order to find relief. We will work together to create goals that are right for you.

As a clinician, I believe that therapy should be a mutual process in which the client and therapist work together to address the concerns and needs of each unique individual client. I believe each person has a unique capacity for growth and drive for self-actualization. When done with empathy and acceptance for an individual, therapy can be a process by which the client achieves their perception of change, growth, and healing.

All of us are striving to be true to ourselves and our loved ones around us. Feeling authentic and true to who we are can assist us in living life the way we would like to.

When people come together to speak of what is most important to us, something special happens. There is a deepening, a spark of truth, warmth, and connection. In therapy, we have the chance to connect in this way. Together we can find meaning where confusion lives, we can expand into compassion when judgment scorns, slowing into experience despite the rush of life’s demands. From this together place, we can address the wounds life has inflicted: the oppression and trauma, the depression, fear, and anxiety, the isolation and pain.

Is addiction, an eating disorder, body image issues or trauma getting in the way of living your best life? Do you feel like Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh? Your outlook on life is gloomy at best. Perhaps your food/exercise obsession is out of control. Maybe you’re attracted to risk and, as such, using drugs/alcohol to the point where it's derailing your life. Is shame what controls you? It could be fear getting in your way. Does your stomach ache, your palms sweat, or your anxiety give you that sinking feeling in the bottom of your belly that stops you in your tracks? With all this madness, there’s no time to thrive; merely survive.

We all deserve to be happy and fulfilled in our relationships. However, healthy and meaningful relationships do not come without work. Whether it is with your intimate partner, friends, family or coworkers, the quality of our relationships has a direct impact on our mental health.

I believe many life struggles are due to our best attempts to adapt in ways that don't seem to work. Emotional distress is often caused by factors outside our awareness. These factors limit the range of possible ways to live fulfilling lives. We try to help ourselves by using various creative strategies and sometimes discover we can succeed only with the assistance of someone who knows how to help. A close relationship with a skilled and sensitive professional who understands human challenges is crucial to discovering new ways of being and relating. I collaborate closely in relationship with clients to help transform their lives.
