When the world feels overwhelming and scary, it’s easy to lose focus and forget who we want to be. Anxiety, depression, and trauma often hook us and tell us that life has no purpose beyond just somehow surviving our pain – leaving us feeling stuck and afraid. As your partner in therapy, I would like to help you navigate the stress of relationships, create meaning, and find new direction for your life. We can reconnect you with your values and to what and who matters most to you to help you find balance and healing. You can change your life and unhook from what keeps you trapped in old patterns of merely surviving. You can thrive!

Using evidence-based therapy and compassion, we will navigate the concerns you bring into counseling. I combine supportive, individualized treatment and interventions from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindful Self-Compassion, EMDR, and other disciplines into an integrative approach designed specifically for you. You matter, and I truly want to help.

Let’s work together so you can live like the person you want to be and create the life you want. I’m ready to walk with you through the challenge of change. Together, we can get you unstuck – to let the healing happen and move you forward into a rich life full of hope and health. I invite you to take another courageous step today and reach out for help.
