It's my opinion (and research supports this) that building supportive spaces where individuals can explore their authentic selves and change unhelpful patterns is the most effective way to do therapy. I support the well-being of adults and adolescents experiencing overwhelming emotions, challenging histories, and complex mental health problems. All too often we trade expressing our genuine selves for safety, which can lead to blame, resentment, anxiety, and inexplicable grief.
Take a quick survey to find therapists that match your needs.
Do you have trouble understanding what you’re feeling, or why you’re feeling it? Maybe you often ask “does that make sense?”, unsure whether your thoughts are coming across how you want them to. Or you find that you're really hard on yourself, with a running narrative of “I’m the worst!”. Perhaps you’re scared to get things wrong, and feel unable to trust yourself to know what you want, let alone how to get there. If you relate to this and want to feel less anxious and more at ease, I can help!
Are you feeling sad, lacking energy, and feeling like something is wrong all of the time? Has your mood been up and down and you've found it As a client you will have a comfortable safe space to share freely without judgment. You can discuss substance use and if and why that might have increased for you recently. You can discuss any recent stressful life changes resulting in increased anxiety or depression. You can talk about sadness, fear, regret, and the feelings of all shapes and sizes.
Have you hit a wall? Do you feel like everything you have tried isn't working? Sometimes we get so overwhelmed by our situation that it's hard to fathom any solution. My role is to be the neutral party that can objectively look at your struggle and help you develop the tools you need to reach a resolution. My ideal clients reflect on our discussions between sessions, engage in behavior change, have a sense of humor, and are willing to do the work.
Our clients set goals aimed toward building a healthy & happy life, free from abuse. We specialize in identifying and navigating toxic and abusive relationships. We help survivors of abuse process their experiences in a healthy way. We provide education about abusive personalities, targets of abuse, abusive relationships and recovery from abuse. Our counselors are trained on the topics of narcissistic abuse, psychopathic personalities and C-PTSD.
Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

Are you tired of a life disconnected from your authentic self and deepest desires? Do you find yourself burdened by overpowering emotions? Do inexplicable physical discomforts trouble you? My clients often identify as perfectionists, grappling with anxiety, depression, or loneliness. Yet, they possess a remarkable creative spark. Whether overachievers or prone to procrastination, their common trait is empathy, yet capacity to feel deeply sometimes leads to shame.
Stuck. Overwhelmed. Burned out. Numb. Invisible. Frustrated. Lonely. Misunderstood. Feeling behind. Nagging Doubts. Procrastinating. Shame. Fear of making mistakes. Hiding your self. Lost. Empty. Confused. You aren't sure how you got here. This isn't the life you imagined. You are searching for RELIEF. You’ve already tried what you know to feel better & still feel stuck. Does any of this feel familiar? I know that it IS possible to live the life you want. You DESERVE to feel solace and thrive!
If you're having issues with anxiety, depression, sleep, trauma, grief/loss, or substance use, we might be a great fit!

Whether you are interested in targeted, focused work on specific symptoms, or addressing more comprehensive concerns, I will help you by outlining a personalized pathway for healing centered around your unique needs.
Have you been holding it all together for far too long? Maybe you have different faces you show each part of your world and none of them really feel right anymore. You might be experiencing symptoms of anxiety or depression or have trauma that has gone unaddressed. And, you're looking for a place to put all of that down. To figure out how the what worked in the past to survive is keeping you from the life you want to live. To live into who you are in a more real and authentic manner.
If you're looking for therapy for yourself, or for you & your partner, I can help! We all experience challenges, stresses, and obstacles that can leave us feeling stuck, confused, or lost. I believe in creating a fully accepting space for you to openly share the challenges that you may be facing, to help you gain a greater sense of self control, authenticity and clarity within your life. We all have the capacity to transform our own lives, sometimes we just need a little help discovering how.
