Typically, people come to see me because they find themselves in a time of needing a little extra support. When life becomes overwhelming or filled with uncertainty, you deserve to have someone to talk to about it, someone who will not judge or shame you but will walk alongside you. Whether you're experiencing anxiety, depression or looking for a place to process your past experiences, I consider it a privilege to walk alongside each and every one of my clients.

I work with clients who may be struggling with feelings of guilt, shame, resentment, burnout, anxiety, "stuck-ness" or ambivalence, not being enough/good enough, or vulnerability. In addition, I enjoy working with teens and adults on issues related to perfectionism, people-pleasing, codependency, relationship dynamics, sports performance, and sports injury.
You have done life alone and without the support that you need. The loneliness has crept in and taken over. You really want to heal but everything you have tried doesn't work. It's finally time to heal in ways you have been searching for. We are passionate about bringing excellent care to each client that steps in the therapy room so you finally have the support you've been needing. We are here.
I enjoy working with kids (10+) and teen girls dealing with anxiety, past trauma, sports performance, friendship problems, family conflict, big transitions, perfectionistic tendencies, and managing big emotions. The clients I support are goal-driven and hard-working but are often struggling on the inside. My goal is to assist clients in challenging times by helping them develop the skills and mindsets to reach their full potential.
My passion as a therapist is working with preteens, adolescents, and adults to develop strategies and the skills to make sustainable progress toward living a full and rewarding life. I am also well-suited to work with clients who are transitioning back into their home and community following hospitalization and/or longer-term care for psychiatric stabilization. My clients describe me as warm, nonjudgmental, relatable, and unafraid to help them grapple with the most difficult of topics.
Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

At Newport Academy, we address the root causes of self-destructive behaviors, not just the symptoms. We guide teens and their families to achieve long-term, sustainable healing by treating the underlying issues—such as trauma, depression, and anxiety—that catalyze substance abuse, eating disorders, and other co-occurring disorders. Incorporating clinical, experiential, and holistic modalities, our gender-specific treatment is family-focused and results-oriented.
My clients are people who's lives have been noticeably affected by a decline in their mental health. Their symptoms have become more disruptive over time and may affect sleep patterns, appetite, or energy levels. They find that work and relationships have become increasingly difficult to maintain. They are ready feel better, improve daily functioning, and return to their normal lives.
Has your life become messy and unmanageable? Lately, are you overwhelmed and not feeling quite like yourself? Do your relationships feel stressful and do you feel like no one really understands where you are coming from? Are you feeling hopeless and having trouble getting through your day? Maybe anxiety is keeping you from sleeping well and is causing unwanted thoughts that won't slow down. Experiencing any of these symptoms can keep us from enjoying life. I know because I have been there.
Have you or your child experienced a loss or traumatic event? Whether it’s an accident, the death of someone close to you, a diagnosis, or a divorce, life as you know it has changed.

Relationships can be a rollercoaster of emotions, leaving you at times feeling extremely connected and in sync, and at other times feeling like you are on two different planets. Often, we have genuine intentions but keep getting stuck in negative communication patterns. While I work with ALL couples and relationships I work predominately with lesbian couples. If you are looking for a new way forward together but unsure where to start the healing you have come to the right place.
I specialize in helping active and retired professionals including doctors, advanced practice providers, nurses, attorneys, therapists and other helpers free themselves from feeling stuck. I provide brain-based experiences in therapy that are often more useful and transformational than talk therapy alone. I help clear out-of-date and inaccurate brain data so a person can think, feel and behave in ways that align with who they really are and how they want to be in their life.
You deserve healing and happiness. You deserve a sense of well-being and meaning in your life. Have you spent too long in an endless cycle of feeling that you are not worthy? You don’t have to continue to experience the emotional and physical pain that comes with depression and anxiety. You don’t have to feel loneliness and distress caused from past experiences. You want to believe that change is possible. I am here to help. With support and encouragement, change IS possible.
You’re a go-getter. You believe that if there is a way to work your way out of a problem, then defining those steps will get you out of this slump, worry, and recurring conflict. A creeping sense of unease can look like fear, sleeplessness, dissatisfaction, or sadness coupled with the stress of responsibilities you already have. Your upset might manifest as frequent arguing with your partner or emotional numbing. You want to figure this thing out, so you can all get back to normal.
Feeling lost or overwhelmed? Juggling others' needs at the expense of your own? These struggles might stem from toxic relationships, past experiences, or emotional battles. I'm here to help you reshape your thoughts, cultivating a sense of security and inner resilience.
