Life's challenges hold in them the seeds of growth.

When we allow ourselves to lean into these challenges they can be transformative, deepening our connection to self, others, and  life as a whole.

But sometimes a challenge comes our way and we're not sure how to nourish these seeds. Maybe we don’t know where to begin, or feel like we’ve tried every tool at our disposal. 

Sometimes the same problem shows up at our door again and again, and we wonder why this keeps happening

We feel alone, confused, stuck.

Specializing in the treatment of

Anxiety & Highly Sensitive People (HSPs)

Chronic worry and tension takes a toll on the mind and body. You may experience fear and dread tied to certain situations or topics. Or maybe you find yourself easily overstimulated and drained by social interactions and activities in the day-to-day. It can start to feel like the world is just too much and you're not cut out for it.

Therapy can equip you with fresh insight and coping skills to help ease the grip of anxiety and gain confidence in 
your ability to cope with daily life. |

Chronic Stress & Burnout

You're constantly pulled in too many different directions. You feel pressured to do it all—perfectly, consistently, and with a positive attitude. Life begins to feel like a never-ending to-do list. For every one item checked off the list, two more come to take its place. It feels like your best will never be enough.

Therapy can provide a safe space to grow in awareness of your personal needs and values, then live them out through healthy boundaries, effective communication,
and self-compassion.  |

People-Pleasing & Codependency

Caring about others is a wonderful trait, and having some concern for what they think of you is perfectly natural. But when these tendencies repeatedly come at the expense of your personal needs, values, and preferences, it can negatively impact your mental and physical health. Over time, it can even begin to erode your very sense of self.

In therapy, we'll explore the motivation behind your people-pleasing or codependent tendencies and
begin healing your most important relationship:

the one you have with yourself.  |

Addiction & Other Self-Destructive Patterns

Whether to drugs, alcohol, or a particular behavior, addiction can leave you feeling fragmented, broken, and hopeless. As a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC) with diverse personal and professional experience in this area, I'm passionate about supporting people in recovery of all kinds.

If you feel like you've lost control over a behavior or the
use of substances, therapy can be a valuable part of

your road to back to wholeness.  |  LEARN MORE >
