I spent 25 years in the education system, so I know firsthand how college can be an exciting, wonderful time or an incredibly isolating experience. On top of schoolwork (which that alone can be enormously stressful), you might have work, personal goals, relationship problems, family stress, pets, roommate problems, all at a time when you really want to focus on figuring out who you are and what you want your future to be like. The modern university system is not set up to produce happy, well-adj...

I use relationship building as the foundation of my therapy practice. I believe feeling seen, held, and safe are vital components of being able to grow. My hope is to create an atmosphere where the people I meet with feel met and known which will allow us to walk together through vulnerability. With all my clients I take a Neurobiological approach, which is a fancy way to say I think a lot about nervous systems and how to regulate them. Our nervous systems need co-regulation before they can lear...

I provide assistance with communications, boundary-...
I see therapy as a process of continuously understanding oneself. My approach is eclectic, meaning that I utilize many different theories and methods in my work, however I’ve found myself leaning on psychodynamic and narrative techniques most often. The psychodynamic approach to therapy essentially means that the things in our past matter, and that they played a role in shaping who we are. Narrative therapy is a theory that works to help you understand the story you tell about your life, and to ...
