(Scheduling in-person and Zoom now) Sometimes we experience disturbing levels of anxiety, depression, anger, or loss. Sometimes we feel disconnected or not able to get a handle on things. In those times emotions can be overwhelming or confusing, and our usual ways of dealing with life don't seem to work anymore. Therapy offers a way to increase awareness of who we are, measure our limits, and expand our personal and interpersonal abilities to make significant changes. I believe we have within us the potential for a healthy and creative life. In the therapy process, we have an opportunity to discover and unleash that potential.

Everyone needs support from time to time. I work with clients to find answers to questions surrounding relationships, sadness and day to day intentional living. As a Jungian therapist, our work may involve exploration of imagery and pattern and your individual expression. We may utilize dreams, sand and other techniques to access the unconscious, as well as some traditional methods all to address anxiety and depression. I am dedicated to assisting anyone on this journey with the support they need to achieve their individual goals in overall wellness.

I believe that transformative healing can happen when someone feels seen and heard, especially in their own language within a safe space. I am a Deaf psychotherapist and use ASL. I believe that we are multi-dimensional human beings and that we are also a lot like nature, therefore I bring more than just talk therapy in sessions utilizing the mind, body, spirit, and energy. I welcome all parts of you that are willing to show up and not here to tell you what I think, what you should do nor fix you. I will be honored in providing you space and cheer you alongside every step of your journey until you come to the feeling of home.

Sometimes we all need extra support navigating the challenges life throws our way. I am here for you. I invite you into a safe environment and purposeful relationship that honors your confidentiality. I will come along side of you wherever you are in your present circumstances, and will not judge you for any reason. I will work with you to create a plan for healing and growth and will journey with you in pursuit of your goals, building on your strengths and fostering self-discovery, towards a more joyful and fulfilling life for you.

Cultivating joy and healthy habits requires creating a consistent space to practice and learn new ways of being. Did you know your mind is more wired to produce anxiety and depression than joy? There is nothing wrong with you! You just didn't learn the skills that generate more joy, calm and acceptance; this is what leads to long-term fulfillment and happiness. Burnout, abandoning your dreams, anxiety, overwhelm, feeling lost, an extra glass of wine-all can lead to a vicious cycle of not feeling good. I can help you break that cycle. Integrating the body, breath practices, and neuroscience into therapy helps bring lasting changes.
