I enjoy working with clients who want more than traditional "talk" therapy. I understand you might feel like just talking about your life cannot change your experience of it. You may be asking how can therapy make a difference? My approach is informed by the practice of mindfulness - the non-judgmental observation of the present moment. Research has shown mindfulness to be a highly effective treatment for depression, anxiety, and addiction. How is working in mindfulness different? In mindfulness we learn how to shift our emotional state from one of suffering to more empowered states of aliveness.

Do you feel you have a lot of dreams, plans, and goals but struggle to actualize them? Does thinking about the big picture leave you feeling stuck, anxious, and overwhelmed? Do you feel hyper-sensitive to the world around you? It sounds like your nervous system needs a break and a reset. Through working together to gently unravel the tangled mental and emotional knots, we will carve a path forward for you to feel joyful and healthy. I will help you develop ease in accessing your internal pharmacy of resources so that you feel confident in knowing how to help yourself navigate big feelings.

Tired of not living fully. Learn tools to be more engaged and present with your life and the people in it. One such tool is mindfulness. Mindfulness is a way of directing your attention away from habitual thoughts(lists, judgements, negative self talk)and toward experiencing the present(where your life is actually being lived). I believe in the power of this work. Depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, difficult relationships and addictions can be products of molding to others' ideas of who you "should" be. I will work with you to uncover who you want to be.

You never get a moment’s rest. Somewhere along the way, you realized it was your job to take care of everyone else. Now, every waking hour is spent seeing to other people’s needs while neglecting your own. You wish there were some way to make time for yourself, but you hate the idea of disappointing anyone. And it feels like if you slow down for even a moment, your endless responsibilities will swallow you whole. So, you keep pushing forward. Every day you feel less connected to yourself and more stuck in a life you never asked for. Any attempt at making a change has failed. You wonder if you’re destined to live this way forever.

Are you in the process of a big life transition? Perhaps contemplating or going through a separation/divorce, career change, or feel you have lost touch with a part of yourself that once held the spark of joy and passion.

Hello! Whatever your reasons are for considering counseling, I hope that you are able to see the wisdom and the bravery in seeking assistance. Our mental and emotional health are important and have a large impact on our relationships, careers, and general well-being. They should be treated as a priority. Consider that people go to the gym to take care of their bodies, and that taking preventative measures are more effective and efficient than waiting until something breaks down. We take these attitudes towards our bodies, why not our minds?

I am in awe of the power of the human spirit. I am inspired by the courage and strength it takes for a person to come to a place where they feel they no longer can be alone in a personal crisis and they reach out for support. It is in these very moments where grace is in motion and the potential for transformation is most fertile. I am passionate about working with others and feel honored in being part of someone's journey of self-discovery as they uncover the root and causes of their lack of connection with others, depression, anxiety, and grief.

Since the pandemic there has been an increase in folks struggling with depression, sexuality issues, chronic illness, addiction, and having problems in relationships. I believe that therapy can help develop skills to face life's challenges. All individuals have the capacity to change and live a full life based on their core values. Therapy is a place to examine your principles and how you can use them as a compass to lead you to a life that more accurately reflects your values. Learning strong coping skills and an awareness of reactions vs responses can provide relief from chronic issues of depression and anxiety. Change happens!
