My Approach to Helping

I deeply believe that the power of therapy can help meaningful change occur at any stage of life. I provide support, compassion, and attunement to create a nurturing environment where old wounds can begin to heal. I prioritize honoring the authentic self, even amidst life's inevitable messiness and painful emotions.
Therapy provides the safety needed for exploring inner struggles that may be difficult to address in everyday life. I recognize the universal human need for validation that is not always received in other interpersonal relationships. I approach therapy as a collaborative relationship to support your goals and empower you to live your best life.
I believe that individuals are not defined by their diagnoses or traumas. People need perspective, compassion, kindness, and depth. Therapy serves as a means to fulfill some of these unmet needs.
Human stories are multifaceted, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Clients who thrive in therapy with me are typically motivated, curious, and sensitive individuals with a strong desire for personal growth. I tailor my approach to address your unique needs for meaningful and effective work.

More Info About My Practice

I am currently providing virtual therapy through a confidential and secure platform. Teletherapy can be more accessible, convenient, and comfortable from your own home.

Important Factors for Choosing a Therapist

Trust your instincts - you're the expert of your own life. Consider your current needs and whether you feel comfortable being vulnerable with a potential therapist. While credentials and training are important, I believe that the transformative power of therapy lies within the therapeutic relationship. Feel free to reach out for a free consultation and see if I might be the right fit for you. I'm here to address any questions or concerns you may have.

Groups I Work With

    Individuals who possess deep empathy and are often natural caregivers connect well with me and my approach. Sometimes these traits can result in prioritizing others' needs over your own leading to stress, burnout, and unmet personal needs. I work with highly sensitive persons (HSPs), creatives, and those in the helping professions.
    I work with people who live with the effects of trauma including high levels of anxiety. I use Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) to facilitate the reprocessing of traumatic memories and negative beliefs, offering relief from distressing triggers.

    I work with individuals coping with chronic pain through Pain Reprocessing Therapy, which fosters a mind-body connection to alleviate mindbody, primary pain. This approach aims to transform the relationship with pain and decrease the associated fear and anxiety often present in cases of chronic pain and illness. My support extends across various life domains, including career, finances, relationships, family dynamics, social interactions, and self-esteem for those managing chronic pain, illness, and physical disabilities,
