As a therapist, I aim to serve as that sense of stability amongst whatever chaos my clients may be feeling or facing. In our work, I won't tell you what to do or how to fix your problems - I wholeheartedly believe that you already hold those answers somewhere within you. With that being said, I do believe that it is fully my job to collaborate & explore with you, to bring you my honest experience & thoughts, and to work with you to help you uncover & find your own unique answers & truths that work best for you & for your healing. I find that therapy works best when both the client and therapist feel comfortable enough to show up as their authentic selves. My work tends to focus more on strengthening the relationship that forms between us and using the trustworthy, secure attachment that we've formed to help us go deep in exploring and healing past and present relational wounds. I understand that life can be hard, and I am here to work with you to make it easier.

(As a couple or individual) - Experiencing a traumatic event, anxiety/ past pain can send you into a panic, tearful, angry, shut down. Feeling disconnected from yourself or from your partner. Stress feels so intense that sometimes it moves you to withdrawal. Or it rises into agitation: why doesn't my partner see my pain? Why did this/does this conflict/"bad thing" happen? What if it happens again? Feeling distrustful that anyone will be there for you either because you have been let down by someone before (maybe your partner) or have experienced something painful/traumatic & fear it will happen again. Feeling lonely and ignored. You’re looking for an emotional connection to your partner, heal after pain you endured together, to feel loved. Or individually you would like to move past the painful event(s)/trauma you have endured, learn to love yourself & remove the fear that weighs you down, to feel free from anxiety.

I probably don’t need to tell you we’re living in a racist, sexist, heteronormative, capitalist dystopian nightmare in a slow and painful collapse. It’s hard to cope with that knowledge while dealing with day-to-day nonsense, on top of reliving past trauma on a regular basis. It’s a lot and it’s heavy and it sucks. Some people turn to substances and other vices to cope. Mindfulness techniques can help to stay in the present and stay grounded and not feel so anxious about what the future holds. EMDR can help to address past trauma, and to stop living in toxic cycles. There are many paths to recovery and harm reduction is absolutely valid. I'm trained in a variety of therapeutic techniques for an individualized approach. When you’re not reliving past trauma, and you’re not constantly anxious about the future, and you’ve let go of toxic coping strategies, then dealing with all of the day-to-day nonsense starts to feel a bit less overwhelming. Let’s get you there.

Life at times can seem like a battle field, and our minds our most hostile enemy. Many of us are in conflict with both internal and external factors that exist in our lives. Sometimes we don't feel equipped to withstand these forces or conditions that exist in our daily life. Depression, trauma, abuse, addictions, failed relationships, and shaming thought patterns that can hold us back in family relationships, academic achievement, social interactions, and career development. I believe the battles we win within our minds, can extend throughout all areas of our life. It's not only becoming mindful, but taking steps towards change. I have extensive experience counseling teens and young adults that are faced with the many challenges of adolescence and transition into adulthood. Over the years I have extended my practice working outside the school setting, counseling individuals, families, and married couples achieve and restore balance to their life. Through a mindful, holistic approach, I help develop self-awareness and decision making skills that will improve relationships, increase confidence, enhance communication skills, decrease stress and anxiety, and identify the things in life that matter the most to each individual. It will be my privilege to share in your journey.
