I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over a decade of clinical experience who provides solution-focused counseling and depth psychotherapy. If you are struggling with overwhelming anxiety, debilitating burnout and those what-the-hell-am-I-doing-with-my-life?! existential crises, I can help you.
As a licensed therapist, coupled with my certifications as a health coach and yoga teacher, I offer a holistic approach to mental health that includes understanding the powerful mind-body connection. I incorporate nature-inspired and positive psychotherapy in my work to help you make strengths-based, attainable and timely choices that lead you out of discomfort and fear and into wellness, as you define it.
I find that people often struggle because they assume they are not supposed to. I help my clients understand how anxiety and stress is part of the human experience, and that anxiety and stress may also be managed positively. I believe that people are good and forward-thinking and if given a nonjudgmental, supportive and encouraging environment, they thrive and grow to overcome their difficulties. The tools I offer my clients are the same skills I commit to practicing myself. I incorporate daily self-care that leaves me centered, such as nourishing meals, yoga, time in nature and meditation. I also enjoy regular travel, anything from a weekend getaway in the mountains to adventures across the globe to visit my family in Poland.
