I am rooted in a person-centered and strengths-based approach, and emphasize the importance of creating a trusting relationship.
Have you ever found yourself plagued with racing thoughts that leave you feeling restless and awake at night? Maybe you’ve experienced a heaviness that makes taking a step from bed feel impossible? Perhaps you’re struggling to live in the present due to feeling stuck replaying past pain? You continue putting one foot in the front of the other to keep up with the everyday demands of life meanwhile feeling burned out, defeated, and disconnected. You feel ready to pursue change and live in a way that feels more fulfilling and authentic but aren’t sure where to start.

Whether you are healing from trauma, anxiety, or unhealthy relationship patterns, I am here to help support you as you navigate this journey.
You move through life feeling anxious, on edge, or misunderstood. You feel this pressure to please others, to mask, or maybe even be “perfect” in order to be accepted - many times at the expense of your own well-being. You try one thing and then another but nothing’s really working (or if it is, it never really feels good enough). You hold an innate desire to be yourself and to be accepted and loved for who you are. You long to create healthy and meaningful connections with others - especially your partner or spouse - but you aren’t quite sure where to begin or how to get there.

We want to be seen. We want to be heard. And most importantly we want to be loved and accepted. This is universal. However sometimes we lose our way; experience failure, depression, rejection, trauma, addiction, grief, anxiety, relationship difficulties...myriad things can keep us from our own personal success and my goal is to help my clients identity these barriers, embrace them, and work through them. The life we want is often within reach, but without healing, clarity or self-love can feel galaxies away. Let’s work collaboratively to identify what is getting in your way and what to do to build the life you want for yourself.

Properly realigning these problematic, strained, estranged relationships transforms your suffering into purposeful, worthwhile living. Ultimately your fullest life is my goal as your therapist.

While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
