I support adolescents, young adults, and adults navigating complex life challenges, including the mental health effects of incarceration and significant life changes like starting a family, college, or divorce. I also specialize in guiding parents of children with complex behavioral issues, fostering nurturing environments. With evidence-based therapies, I provide compassionate care to families affected by addiction or incarceration, offering support every step of the way.
I help couples, relationships, and individuals explore explore identities, experience greater pleasure and intimacy, and recalibrate toward more authentic, compassionate, and courageous lives. I am passionate about supporting LGBTQ+ folks in exploring and healing from the negative impacts of internalized homophobia and transphobia as they often manifest in shame, guilt, and low self-esteem.
You feel misunderstood or dismissed by dominant culture. People make incorrect assumptions about you all the time. You deserve so much better than that. Please don't give up hope. You don't have to go through this alone. The people I meet with are often their own unique blend of being Neurodivergent, Autistic, Trans, Gender expansive, Queer, Black, Native, or persons of culture, who have experienced trauma and anxiety due to being marginalized, abused, or assaulted.
In a world that guarantees nothing, your world has just been turned upside down by a death, an illness, or relationship dissatisfaction. Your life is no longer what you thought it was, no longer what you thought it'd be. You're grieving, but it's nothing like any grief you've ever known. You're kind, thoughtful, and introspective – the woman your friends turn to for help and support – but none of that's helping you right now amid the existential groundlessness of a life that's fallen apart.
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.

Have you tried all the tools & tricks you have up your sleeve & they're just not working anymore? How do you turn the routine grind of only going through the motions into a life you want to get out of bed for? Are you going in circles in your relationships? How can you heal and move past the old stuff so you can truly feel better? How do you figure out who you are and what you actually want? I work with individuals ages 16+ and couples who are ready for exploration, healing and change.
You're an expecting or new mom, determined to parent differently than you were raised. Negative self-talk and "what ifs" seem never-ending. Fear and anxiety about repeating old patterns cause you to overthink and disconnect. Family resistance and misunderstanding lead to shutdowns, shame, and guilt. Unsolicited advice feels overwhelming and judgmental. Self-care is crucial as you forge new paths as a woman and mother. You deeply want to let go of past pain so it no longer impacts your present.
You feel overwhelmed by past experiences and struggle with self-worth, anxiety, and self-doubt. You experience a relentless inner critic that makes it hard to see your strengths and potential. You seek a compassionate, supportive space to heal and grow. At Safe Harbor Counseling, you receive personalized, trauma-informed care tailored to your unique journey. Together, we work to overcome negative self-talk, build resilience, and help you embrace your true worth.
