Whether this is your first time seeking therapy or you’ve done this before, I am here so you can experience the relief and clarity that comes with being completely honest about yourself and the situations, beliefs, and behaviors that are creating a barrier to your desired life.

My intention is for you to feel safe, accepted, and seen. We will clarify your goals and assess progress regularly so that you can feel hopeful–or downright excited–about your life again.

It’s difficult to be vulnerable with a stranger, so let me go first. I have personal experience with depression, ADHD, binge eating disorder, divorce, and single parenthood, among other challenges. I grew up in a “colorful” family with its share of intergenerational trauma and drama. Looking back, I started therapy at least ten years later than I needed it. But I’ve come to love everything about the process of healing and post-traumatic growth.

Some things I find fascinating:

Learning to tolerate all emotions and deal with pain wisely.

Arriving at accurate diagnoses and when applicable, the correct medication(s). (My ADHD went undiagnosed until I was almost 41, which is not an uncommon experience among women.)

Using the intelligence of the body and the unconscious to get unstuck–because all too often, our thinking keeps us stuck.

Upgraded mindsets and habits, including self-compassion, gratitude, forgiveness, and present-moment awareness.

Rewriting life stories and reframing events in an empowering way.

Working with the content of dreams, fantasies, and psychedelic experiences.

I'm wishing you all the best in your search!
