It's a helluva start, being able to recognize what makes you happy.

Beginning therapy can often be difficult and may carry a host of fears, uncertainties, and challenges. I believe that it can also be a life changing journey that can help explore those difficult pieces and peel those layers that have kept us from being our authentic selves. My clients are often young adults, parents, those starting a new phase in their life, or anyone navigating the process of individuation and creating change. My clients are often looking to create healthy boundaries and relationships with themselves and others. Many are healing from past trauma, toxic relationships, or entering a new phase in life.

My focus has been with all forms of relational trauma and the relationship one can have with themselves and the world around them. My experience includes depression, anxiety, self-esteem, grief, co-dependency, and boundaries; particularly with adult children of parents with mental illness. I also enjoy working with all parents and those raising neurodivergent children. As a parent of an autistic child I walk that journey every day and enjoy supporting parents and caregivers that are working to be the best advocates they can for their children while also taking care of themselves.

I use a humanistic approach to explore a person's past and how those experiences help shape present day feelings and behaviors. With humor and empathy I believe in building trust and a solid therapeutic relationship to help my clients achieve their goals. I describe my work to operate through a trauma focused/social justice lens. I feel honored to be invited into the lives and experiences of so many.
