I’m glad you’re here.
I’ve been in the mental health field for 15 years and have experience treating various issues
experienced by adults including anxiety, depression, chronic stress, relationship difficulties, self-
image, grief, shame, and beyond. I specialize in helping people living with addiction as well as
people who have survived significant trauma. I am certified in EMDR, an evidence-based
therapy method used to relieve residual effects of traumatic events.
I pride myself on being a very “real” therapist…I am authentic with you and work hard to make
you feel very comfortable so that you can be your authentic self as well. I don’t just “nod and
smile” during our sessions – I have real talk with you. I know if I’m not real, I can’t expect you to
be either; and when you feel safe to be real with me, we can work on how that carries over to
the rest of your life over time. We will unravel the complexities that make you exactly who you
are and arrange each piece in a way that feels good for you at a pace you are comfortable with.
I understand the familiar struggle of trying to control your world through endless schedules and
to-do lists, to power through, to live on autopilot. We ignore the long-held experiences and
stories which greatly influence how we interact with the world. We think “there has to be a better
way”, and so quickly a simple thought turns to harsh self-criticism and shame. Our thoughts
become our feelings, our feelings become our behaviors, our behaviors become our wellness.
Together, we can find the wisdom in your story. We can work to nurture the most bold, kind,
effective, loving, and authentic version of you; and we can empower that person to show up
regardless of circumstances. It starts with a simple decision to slow down enough and get
curious about what’s working and what’s not. Because when we get curious about how we are
offering ourselves to the world, to ourselves, change can begin. Feeling calm and confident is
your birthright. I’d love an opportunity to help you reclaim both.
I offer primarily late afternoon and evening appointments, with some day time availability. I can
be available on weekends intermittently. I provide therapy in-person but I can accommodate
telehealth/online options if you prefer.
