Asking for help is one of the most challenging things to do for ourselves, but it is one of the best ways of self-investing. When we physically do not feel well, we reach out to our doctors or nurses for support because we think that is normal. When we do not feel well mentally, it can give us a sense of not feeling normal, and while everyone's story is different, it is the same because we all have one.

My ideal client is ready to work through their experienced trauma, struggles with anxiety/depression, or faces a significant life transition. They feel overwhelmed, stuck, and unsure of how to move forward. Despite these challenges, they possess the courage to seek help and the motivation to create positive change in their life.
I frequently work with adults managing anxiety, depression, ADHD, and bipolar disorder who want collaborative care. I take time to understand how symptoms impact your daily life, carefully considering factors like work demands, sleep patterns, and overall wellness goals. By combining my medical expertise with a holistic understanding of your life, we develop medication strategies that align with your needs.
You work so hard at acting “as if”—as if you’ve got it all together, as if it’s all under control, as if your losses are no big deal. You wonder why you feel exhausted, angry, numb, constantly worried, and too often sad. Painful memories pop up when you least expect them, and you try to ignore them—but sometimes you can’t. You’ve learned to hide how inadequate and hopeless you feel in trying to cope. And you wonder, what am I doing here? What is this all for? Why all this suffering?
I may be a good fit for you if you want to better understand how your unconscious experiences are influencing your day-to-day life. Through mindfulness practices (non-judgmental observation of self) and somatic awareness (mind-body connection), we discover and work through internal conflicts that may be influencing patterns in your life. I support you in untangling codependent dynamics, and experiencing greater authenticity and clarity within your relationships.

I view my clients as the experts of their own lives, experience(s), and self. I believe we each carry the "answer(s)" we need most within, but are not always taught how to get there or how to tune into ourselves. During our time together, you will be given an opportunity to explore and "be with" yourself in potentially deeper and new ways. I believe the exploration of self is interwoven with the unfolding of our life.
I work with a diverse range of individuals who grapple with feeling stuck, unmotivated, and anxious amidst life's demands. Art therapy offers a gateway to explore these struggles, unburdening through creative expression. My clients need a safe non-judgmental space, met with compassion and active listening, as they aspire to overcome challenges, discover their potential, thrive, and form authentic connections.
If you’re looking for therapy of depth, insight, and durability; if you’re seeking a highly-trained therapist with over 37 years of experience who listens carefully, deeply, and thoughtfully; if you’ve been disappointed by ‘quick fix’ approaches that promise much and deliver little; if you want an individualized approach designed specifically with your needs in mind, you are in the right place.
We love the work we do and are excited to learn about you and the shifts you are hoping to make! Our practice was created to provide a quality space for individuals to connect with a counselor surrounding self-care, healing, change, & to find ways to access more joy. We want you, as our clients, to feel that in this space you are welcomed with positive, energetic, non-judgmental practitioners that are trained to help you access your core, grounded, & healthy self.
Clients find me when worried their trauma will affect parenting. They come after violating or confusing births or while planning the impossibly 'perfect’ birth. Some arrive postpartum- feeling trapped, sad, anxious, & resentful (and then ashamed by their feelings). Folx show up feeling wildly reactive despite heroic efforts to chill, or when realizing that parenting pokes at every wound they didn’t even know they carried. Therapists come to shore up when worn down by life as a parent & healer.

Through Therapy, Trauma-Informed Breathwork, & Coaching, I work collaboratively with clients who are struggling with navigating the ups, downs, and transitions in life. Some other areas may be: navigating relationships, family dynamics, divorce, or simply seeking personal growth. When you embody & cultivate a deeper connection to yourself, you are empowered to break through barriers & negative cycles, tap into your intuition & inner resources, uncover untapped resources, and overcome challenges.
Have you ever felt like you didn't fit in? Maybe you've spent your life pursuing interests and passions that others didn't understand or appreciate. As a specialist, I work with individuals who embrace their uniqueness, whether they're gamers, bookworms, metaphysical enthusiasts, geeks, artists, or creatives. Moreover, I provide support for those in the LGBT, poly, and kink communities. Together, we'll create an affirming space to explore your identity and find acceptance.
I support clients in increasing positive communication skills, creating healthy boundaries, improving relationships, and in processing past challenging experiences. I have extensive experience in working with individuals who have experienced sexual abuse, domestic violence, depression, and anxiety. My practice centers on creating a safe space through being inclusive and affirming to all humans by paying particular attention to each individual’s experiences and life story.
My clients are professionals, entrepreneurs, parents and holders of many identities struggling to show up in a way that's consistent with their values. Whether individuals or couples, most of my clients are seeking to be more fully themselves. I work with folks navigating relationships that run the gamut from the one with themselves, the one with their child(ten), to decades-long marriages to ethical non-monogamy.

Has life thrown you for a bit of loop recently? Maybe that recent break up has left you reeling. Or this recent move has been hard. Grief can come in many forms, a big move, birth of a baby, an end of a friendship, or death of a loved one. Loss is some of life’s toughest stuff. Feeling alone in this world can be pretty scary. Lets work towards a way for you to find yourself again. I have lots of coping skills in my pocket to share with you.
Do you spend half of Sunday dreading Monday? Unhappy with your job, feel like an impostor, or have work relationships seemed a barrier? Maybe you want to transition your life but aren't sure what direction to take or are afraid to take the leap. I understand the anxiety, stress, and depression you may be feeling, and how hopeless and stuck you might feel. I look forward to supporting you in finding a satisfying future that you can look forward to.
