Do you find yourself spending your days on alert? Have a hard time resting your mind at the end of the day (or ever)? Is it hard for you to slow down and sit with your thoughts? Anxiety can be a life-long struggle and/or something that pops up seemingly at random. I have years of experience helping people understand their anxiety, face it, and shift to a place of calm where you are the one in control, not your fears. Working together, you will learn how to manage your thoughts, understand why your anxiety exists, and learn tools on how to address it.

Do you feel not good enough? Do you find yourself self-sabotaging relationships? Or perhaps not knowing how or why you keep getting in the same fights over and over again? Many people have attachment wounds that impact their ability to connect to others and love themselves. Attachment work is some of the most powerful work you can do to radically shift your life. It can help you practice self care, give to others, succeed at work, and connect interpersonally. As an expert in attachment theory, I have seen how attachment work can be truly revolutionary.

Trauma is life-altering and can come from big things and “small” things that happen to you. You will never not have it in your story but you can heal and live a beautiful life. Humans are resilient and adaptive. While you can’t outrun trauma, you can work through it in a safe supported space and learn how to live a good, full life. A life where you are not constantly haunted by the things that have happened to you in your past. We will create a space where you can feel your feelings, process the pain, and move forward the way YOU want to.

Families are beautiful things, but they aren’t often without flaws. Your family of origin (the family in which you were raised) is integral in how your thoughts and behaviors develop. A range of emotional and relational issues like anxiety, depression, anger, fear and relationship struggles can be connected to your experience with your family of origin. Our early experiences inform the narratives we believe about ourselves, our core beliefs, and how we move in the world. In family of origin work, we will explore your past, consider your core beliefs, address behaviors you'd like to change, and work toward building a life that works for you. 

An LGBTQIA ally, my practice is rooted in a deep belief in the value of all people, and the inclusion and acceptance of all individuals, whatever their identity. It is critically important to work with a therapist who accepts and affirms your identity, and it is my mission to provide a space where you can be seen, heard, and valued exactly as you are. Whether you are looking to work through the impact of stigma, sexual orientation, family of origin conflicts, gender identity, depression, anxiety, or any other issue, I am here to support you through your journey.

Do you struggle to see your own value? Perhaps you struggle with imposter syndrome and aren’t sure how you got where you are? Maybe that inner critic is really loud? I specialize in helping people figure out what is underneath the feelings of low self-esteem, identify the negative beliefs we hold about ourselves, and work to reframe and rework your belief system to help you live a more fulfilled and confident life. Self esteem CAN be learned! You just have to work at it a little bit.
