About My Clients

Life can be downright sh%tty sometimes. Perhaps there are increasing demands from work, caregiving roles, or relationship turmoil that have you feeling weighed down & exhausted. These dilemmas may seem impossible to overcome while juggling your responsibilities, but the truth is, avoiding your needs and feelings by running on autopilot will never lead to fulfillment in your professional, personal, or romantic relationships.

My Background and Approach

Clients come to me looking for a therapist who can help them heal their relationships with their family, set boundaries to protect themselves and/or explore their romantic relationships. I help couples and individuals to build self insight in order to break free from limiting beliefs created in past trauma, anxiety, and depression.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that we are all still growing and changing based on different influences throughout our timeline. It is where events, big or small, created changes that we may or may not be ready for and at that time the behaviors we picked up served us well. However, when those behaviors no longer serve us because it gets in the way of how we desire to live and connect, it is time to ask for help from a professional. The right therapist for you will provide the perfect blend of clinical expertise with the feeling of a nonjudgmental, safe friend. When you work with me, sometimes there will be tears, but there will also be laughter, and you’ll leave feeling lighter than when you came in. E-mail me to set up a free 15 minute consultation to see if I'm the right fit for you!
