How do we deeply explore the difficult parts of ourselves with self-compassion and acceptance, while at the same time stretching to grow, evolve, and heal? Can we dare to live our lives in a way that realizes our full potential and what holds us back from doing so? It can be difficult to explore this all alone. In a gentle, nonjudgmental, and collaborative way, I provide support for my clients on their journey to become more fully themselves.

Psychotherapy is fundamentally about discovering a deeper sense of personal meaning, greater self-understanding, and self-acceptance. It offers the possibility of coming into contact with a more enlivened state of being. Psychotherapy can help us move through life with a greater degree of freedom and flexibility, feeling more connected to ourselves and others along the way. My work is shaped by psychodynamic, existential, and holistic approaches. My complimentary background as a yoga therapist includes considerable training and expertise in embodiment and mindfulness practices, which I draw upon in my clinical work.

For ambitious, driven individuals in their 20-30’s, life can get quite overwhelming. Juggling family responsibilities, romantic interests, and career aspirations while trying to establish a strong sense of independence is no small task. Perhaps you're left feeling like you're navigating the shift into early adulthood without a map, or charting new waters without land in sight. You may feel like you're doing a lot more, but not necessarily getting a lot more done, and the expectation that reaching a certain milestone will bring comfort is constantly being met with disappointment, leaving you feeling unmotivated and unfulfilled.

Have you always dreamt about becoming a mother? Is it what you imagined it to be? You were told that all mothers are happy and perfect. In truth, motherhood is an emotional, complicated and compelling journey from conception, pregnancy, delivery, and into postpartum. No one tells you how hard it can be to actually get pregnant. Others seem to get it so easily, yet you struggle. When you are pregnant, instead of feeling endless joy, you feel sad, scared, angry or anxious. After the baby comes, instead of feeling confident as a new mother, you wonder all the time, what if you aren’t the perfect mother?
