About

When you were young, you imagined things would all come together when you became an adult. Others may see you as successful, composed, or upbeat, but they don’t see the whole picture. They know nothing about your anxious thoughts, about your past and the way it still affects you, or your insecurities. Some days it can be hard to look in the mirror after comparing yourself to those on social media, siblings and friends, or to your own high standards. Words like "stay positive" and "be grateful" can leave you feeling unheard or misunderstood. It feels impossible to be excited or motivated for life when you feel this way.

You want to feel confident and fulfilled in your life. You want to be able to feel your emotions without getting stuck in them. You're ready to enjoy the life that you have in the present and stop living in the past or the future. I offer a judgment free zone where you can explore how you can best take care of yourself and your mental health.

I hold the belief that mind, body, and spirit are deeply interconnected, and hold space for each to be attended to in therapy. My practice values diversity, is LGBTQ-affirming, and is respectful of my client’s culture, values, spiritual paths, and lifestyle choices. Call or email me today for a free 15 minute consultation.
