It always amazes me the complete turn around clients can do with the tools they already have, they just needed to discover, reorganize or sharpen a few things. Clients who typically seek me out are looking for a therapist who specializes in trauma, perinatal or postpartum issues, women's issues, anxiety or who can help support them in a significant life transition. I am excited to offer you a space to heal, learn and feel you are not alone.

Are you struggling with anxiety or panic attacks? Are you having challenges with sleep, racing thoughts, or feeling on edge? Is it hard for you to say no and stand up for yourself? Do you feel like you can’t express your needs in relationships? If life feels overwhelming, therapy can help you to feel confident in your decision making ability and empowered to set boundaries that work for you. You can assert your needs without feeling guilty.
I love working with: Kids and teens working through anxiety, depression, dysregulated emotions, trauma, understanding family dynamics, self-harm, and low self-esteem symptoms. Young adults and adults working through PTSD symptoms, anxiety, depression, generational trauma, working through chronic somatic systems, identifying boundaries, life transitions, building self-esteem, and working on healing self.
I have experience working with individuals that are a part of the LGBTQ+ community and have experience working with clients who are neurodivergent, working to operate in a neurotypical society. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, acute & complex trauma, identity exploration, life transition issues, career changes and relational issues.
Maybe you have been living with depression and anxiety or feeling outcasted in life for as long as you can remember. Perhaps you're an adult who was recently given or self-diagnosed as neurodivergent. You could be an individual or couple seeking out new ways to build and maintain healthy intimacy or looking to explore your varying personal and sexual identities. No matter what brings you to therapy, I firmly believe that human connection is at the center of each of our lived experiences.
I support people desiring a safe space to explore their emotions, heal from past trauma, and find healthy ways to express themselves. Let's work together to deepen your self-insight, cultivate peace within your body and mind, and find more joy and in your daily life. I specialize in working with people seeking support with: anxiety, depression, relationship issues, family dynamics, past trauma, self-confidence, and addiction. Thank you for being here.

I aim to help you to figure out the source of your anxiety, depression and recognize the barriers to the actions you wish to take in your life, and remove them. In my therapy space, you will find lightness and humor that can allow you to feel comfortable, and dig into everything that is weighing on you in life. I utilize a warm and collaborative therapy space, which is the best foundation for self-reflection and for finding courage to make changes, while feeling supported and seen.
Anxiety is exhausting and can feel completely overwhelming. I look forward to teaching you new skills that will lead to relief of these symptoms! OCD is an extreme form of anxiety, and there are tools that work including ERP therapy, mindulness and more. In addition, past unresolved traumatic memories are often the root of compulsive/obsessive thinking. EMDR therapy is a way out of this. I look forward to working together to find just the right tools for you.
Many of my clients have experienced chronic illness (including cancer, kidney disease), grief/loss, family conflict, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, loss of routine &/or job, trauma, loss of identity. Developing safety & trust in therapy will be part of our initial work. Your vulnerabilities & uncertainties are welcome. *EMDR trained (August, 2022); EMDR trained- Advanced Level (June, 2024). *Certified Grief Educator: February, 2023 (David Kessler Training)
Do you find yourself overwhelmed and overstimulated in a neurotypical world?

I work with all ages, but specialize in working with adolescents and young adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, anger management, low self-esteem and self-compassion, life transitions, relationships, and trauma.

Take a quick survey to find therapists that match your needs.
Do you feel like your relationship has lost the connection that it once had? Have you found yourself struggling to be heard, understood and accepted by others? Do you find yourself in arguments with your partner that feel like the same one over and over again? If you have answered yes to any of these questions then you are not alone. I work with many clients who find themselves feeling stuck in life and their relationships without knowing what to do next.
My ideal client is someone who is wanting to make changes and appreciates a direct, but empathetic approach that will sometimes include humor. As a therapist, I will not give you advice but rather help you identify maladaptive patterns, coping skills, behaviors, etc. and work with you on changing those things that are a barrier to happiness and contentment. I believe my clients are their own experts and as such, believe they should drive their treatment and their goals.
People I work with are often overwhelmed with what is happening in their lives and feel they do not have the tools and/or the mental resources to get through these issues on their own. They may be dealing with anxiety or depression symptoms or both. People may also feel they are trying their best to be there for others, their work, or their education, and realize they are not showing up for themselves and their needs. I help people create boundaries in their lives and practice self-care.
I specialize in serving individuals who feel disconnected from themselves and others due to traumatic experiences or mental health issues like anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship struggles. My ideal clients are seeking a judgment-free space to explore their inner world and process emotions that feel overwhelming or unclear. My expertise is creating a calm, empathic environment for you to develop self-awareness, find relief, and embrace all of your authentic self.

My clients prefer telehealth services. Whether they feel more comfortable accessing therapy from home or have difficulty attending "in person" sessions because of chronic and acute health issues, my schedule allows for weekly appointments with little to no wait time. I always keep my caseload small to accommodate my clients needs, so they feel like they can access support whenever they need it.
