Sometimes life sucks and we find ourselves stuck. By looking at the big picture, I help clients get unstuck in order to continue moving through life as they find grace amidst the messy storms that make us human. I believe our struggles do not define us and the battles we are fighting have evolved from our lived experiences, biology, and environment. Therapy is about connecting with another’s humanity on a deep, personal level within a safe and boundaried environment in which we are able to explore what is ailing us. I strive to make therapy a safe and comfortable space in which you feel seen, heard and believed. [Read More]

After experiencing a devastating series of personal, relational, occupational, family, social and spiritual obstacles in my life, my self-talk was often times self-defeating. I was discontent, lacking purposeful meaningful contact with others and felt empty inside. Instead of accepting my reality and the changing interaction between the environment, others and myself – I was caught between staying the same or recognizing and embracing change. Whether you are in a time of transition or a time of pain, I believe that we all have the tools we need to walk toward a loving and meaningful life. [Read More]

Therapy is a relational dynamic process. I work to create a nurturing, compassionate, safe space that honors individual healing processes. My integrative holistic approach to psychotherapy means that I combine attachment theory, neuroscience, cognitive behavioral theory, and psychodynamic theory with the wisdom and insights from mindfulness-based practices, creative expression, and nature. Working with me, you will gain insight into your emotional world, understand how you work, learn what gives you comfort and contentment during difficult times, develop new coping skills to help during times of anxiety/depression, and make changes in your life so you can live more fully.

A trusting therapeutic relationship is the beginning of positive change. With time and effort, you can begin to look at concerns and feelings like shame, loneliness, anger, fear, and sadness that may have brought you to therapy in the first place.

We all have the inner power and intuitive knowledge to change, but our intuition can get blocked when strong emotions or past events overwhelm us.

Mindfulness, relaxation, and visual art techniques are often part of this process. [Read More]
