We experience so much change over the course of a lifetime. Sometimes life brings us change through unforeseen circumstances like divorce, job loss, or health concerns. Other times, we create change by moving, having a baby, or entering a new relationship. Everything is always changing around us, including us. It can be disorienting and often stirs up fear, self-doubt, sadness, loss, and strain on relationships. Accepting change can be scary, and it can also be empowering. We sell ourselves short when we seek to simply “get back to normal” rather than cultivating stability in the midst of change, which is where peace starts to grow.

You’re a millennial woman caught in patterns of anxiety, over-thinking, overwhelm, and burn out. You’re either at full sprint trying to keep up or desperately trying to recoup. The chronic stress feels like a heavy coat that’s always on. You’re used to taking care of everyone else, being the problem-solver and the overachiever, so it’s hard to ask for help or know what you might need. You. Are. Exhausted. You miss the days where you felt clearer, connected, present, and peaceful. You know it’s time to make a change. Break away from patterns of worry and stress, and finally feel satisfied in the life you've created.

I work with children and adults experiencing worry, anxiety, grief, depression, shame, low self-esteem, and other stressors, challenges, or changes in life. We are not meant to deal with the difficulties of life alone. Therapy provides a place to feel heard and understood. It can offer a fresh perspective and help you find solutions. I believe that when a person feels safe, accepted, and emotionally supported that healing can begin. My style is warm, gentle, encouraging, and collaborative. I focus on connecting with you, exploring your story, and identifying strengths and opportunities.

My psychotherapy approach values you as a whole person, in depth. I relate to each individual as a person rather than a label, and so each person's therapy experience is unique. Those who come to me for therapy bring a wide range of concerns, aims and hopes. I work with people struggling, for example, with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, grief, life transitions, spiritual concerns, work concerns, physical illness/pain, search for meaning and purpose, and creativity concerns. I see the difficulties and suffering an individual brings to therapy as an entry point toward healing and growth.

When reaching out for professional support, I believe that finding the best fit is one of the most crucial elements to your success. You need to find someone who hears and understands you and your individual needs, as well as helps you feel safe and supported. My approach to counseling leans strongly on these beliefs and I work hard to understand my clients, prior to "changing" them. I also strongly believe that YOU are the expert of your life and I therefore take a collaborative approach to counseling, empowering and guiding you to make the necessary changes in your life.

Trauma is a highly complex and personal experience. Everyone's experience and definition of trauma is different. Among both professionals and clients, it is often incredibly misunderstood. It affects us across physical, social, emotional, and spiritual bounds. It compromises our ability to process sensory input and renders us incapable of communicating at times. Traumatic experiences can make us feel "small" and incompetent, incapable of managing basic tasks at times, or we may even develop intermittent or chronic pain.
