When I was in my teens, I didn’t realize it, but I was pretty damn depressed and anxious, and before I knew it, I was diagnosed with an eating disorder. I spent a lot of my time denying this fact, but it was clear to many of the people around me. It was about that time that I was introduced to my first therapist. I fought this lady tooth and nail, but she persisted. She was gentle but direct, caring, but not overbearing. While I am a very different kind of therapist then this lady was, it was her persistent, gentle care that helped get me to the next step in my life, and it’s that part of her approach that I will carry into our sessions together. 

Today, many years later, I am still in therapy. I’m not there for the reasons that first brought me to see a therapist; I’m now there because I want to learn more about myself and continue to grow into a complete version of myself. My time in therapy is very rewarding, but I won’t lie and say it’s easy. Learning and growing takes time, effort, perseverance, and patience. I know what it’s like to feel uncomfortable and vulnerable. Because I know all of this firsthand, I can enter into your process with you with more empathy for all you might experience during your time with me.

Over the years, I’ve learned that therapy is a process. There are no wrong marks in the process of therapy, no wrong moves, and no wrong notes. In that way, therapy is like creating and refining a work of art, choreography, or a musical score. As an artist myself, I can assure you that the act of approaching a blank canvas can be simultaneously intimidating and invigorating. In my experience, the same is true for the therapy process, but in this instance, the work of art, the performance, the music, is you. In my own therapeutic process, I learned to realize that sometimes the process can cause the canvas to look messy and muddy. Still, by applying patience, determination, and grit, a picture began to emerge that revealed clarity and meaning to what was once confusing.

Honest inquiry and communication allow you to more fully explore our connections, relationships, and innermost feelings.

My work is informed by the Mind, Body connection and believe that is a pathway to healing. Together, we explore what comes up in your body and work to achieve a sense of freedom that leads to healing. We have all felt the support from other people which affords us the needed pathways to move through challenges, such as grief and other life transitions. It is in these moments I believe that healing is in its most present state. I help you create these moments of connection and support you to better afford your mind and body the healing it deserves.

When a storm knocks trees and plants to the ground, we understand the storm is the culprit. When we, as humans, are knocked down by stressors, society views us as the culprit.

Having been raised in an Eastern European countryside, I am able to see life from a different perspective. Because of this, I can enter into your story, understand your experiences, see your strengths and have compassion for your struggles without judgment.

As a Therapist, I believe unconditional positive regard is an essential ingredient to the creation of a space where we can, together, work on your journey. Whether you are in search of tools to be utilized immediately, or a longer process of self-discovery, my goal is to travel the path with you. I will provide you with a roadmap so that you can find the way forward.
