Our clients love our gentle, jungly space to let down for a minute and be their unfiltered, weird and awesome selves. Lots of our folks come to us pretty exhausted and burned out, grieving what they thought their lives would be at this point, or overwhelmed with everything going on in 2024. Many here lately are discerning whether they might be neurodivergent. Most are feeling held back and wanting to break into a new era where they're finally enjoying their lives and relationships more.

I am passionate about bringing hope into the lives of those with mental health issues and distress in their relationships. Whether a life transition has you feeling anxious and unsteady, or relationship problems are all consuming, I am committed to creating a safe space for individuals and couples to process and explore thoughts, emotions, and wounds. It is possible to reframe and rewrite the stories that become our reality, and I am here to help with that revision process.
The counseling process requires openness and vulnerability that can be overwhelming. Talking to someone new about your concerns, fears, or anxieties can be intimidating. Bearing your inner self is not easy and requires a strength you may not know you possess. My promises to you: I will never judge you or make you feel unheard. I will create an environment where you feel safe. You are a unique and beautiful being and stronger than you realize. I would be honored to walk with you on this journey.
If you’re anything like me, then you’re highly aware of sensory-input, whether it be lights, sounds, and even the emotional states of others. My clients tend to fall under the Neurodivergent umbrella, and benefit from a sensory-aware environment that also aims to support executive function. My clients may also struggle with depression, participate in nerd-culture, spiritual deconstruction, and are members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
Therapy is a "no judgement zone". It is a confidential safe space specific to your individual needs. The majority of my clients are interns, working professionals, or healthcare providers. Many of us have experienced a disruption in our routines or relationships over the past few years. If you are like many of my clients you are anxious, depressed, or having difficulties finding meaningful connections. Taking the next step is easy - reach out for a free consultation. You are almost there.
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.

Many of us walk through life being triggered by certain events and people without a true understanding of why. My goal is to help you to gain insight into your underlying motivations and roadblocks so that you can restore connection and achieve the change you desire.
My clients often feel trapped in a high-conflict relationship or dealing with patterns that no longer serve them. I specialize in guiding individuals and couples through the challenges of toxic relationship dynamics. My work is centered on helping those whose behaviors don't align with their true sense of self, including survivors of abuse and those looking to break free from harmful patterns. Together, we'll create a safe, compassionate space to work gently.
I am passionate about working with folks as they heal from past trauma and with those dealing with symptoms of anxiety, depression, and chronic stress. I have extensive experience working with survivors of sexual assault, and those who have experienced childhood trauma. Some other areas of focus include depression, life transitions, and women’s issues. I also love working with fellow therapists.
I will collaborate with you to create a tailored approach based on your unique needs. My goal is to help you develop healthy relationships with yourself and others, the ability to experience the full spectrum of human emotion, and an invigorated approach to your life, in whatever phase or situation you currently find yourself. My practice is inclusive and welcoming to all.
Are you finding it harder and harder to connect and be present with your spouse, your children or your friends? Are you struggling with the idea that this version of you is here to stay forever? My goal is to help you understand the whys behind your reactions, the importance of listening to your body and most importantly the joy in reconnecting with yourself and loved ones!

Whether you are coming to see me for individual therapy, couples counseling, family therapy, or group therapy, as a systems-oriented practitioner I take into account the world you inhabit. There is no “one size fits all” approach when it comes to therapy, and I collaborate with clients to tailor the direction of the work to fit their unique needs.
I am passionate about my work with teenagers, young adults, and older adults who are experiencing a wide range of difficulties. Most frequently, I work with clients struggling with anxiety and/or depression, as well as individuals yearning for change, managing life transitions, dealing with relationship challenges, or looking for coping skills to better handle stress. I also have experience working with clients processing trauma and moving towards safety and stabilization.
We enjoy supporting clients that are struggling with finding healthy, strong connections in relationships. We serve individuals and couples focusing on depression, anxiety. trauma/PTSD and relational issues that may be affecting you. If you are motivated, feel ready to create the change you crave we are here to support you in your journey to a healthier more satisfying life. We have a team that can support your needs.
Whether you're an individual, couple or family, in each 53-minute session, together we identify recurring emotions, thoughts, and patterns of behavior, and then explore alternatives leading to preferred outcomes. A healthy change in one area of your life can have positive/synergistic influences on other areas of your life.
We serve adolescents and adults, through a culturally-sensitive lens. Allied and affirming of all identities, we strive to offer a safe space to those who need it most. We are best known for expertly treating PTSD and the effects of trauma, whether it is recent or very old, chronic or acute, obvious or subtle. As generalists, we also have expertise treating the full range of mental health disorders, adjustment to life transitions, and relationship concerns.

I believe that my clients are the expert in their lives while recognizing that counseling can be scary. I believe in creating a space with mutual trust and respect that can allow for deep wounds to be healed. I prefer to work collaboratively with my clients, taking a person-centered approach that allows my clients to receive specialized care unique to their own personal needs. I have found that I work best with persons who are motivated to self-explore, seeking healing shifts in their lives.
Are you a high achiever that is overwhelmed and burnt out? Are you upset at not meeting your goals and expectations? Do you constantly struggle with managing your work-life balance? People might think that you have it all together, but on the inside, you are critical of yourself and disappointed. You also might lack confidence and often find yourself second guessing you decisions. I commonly see high achievers and executives that feel like imposters and worry about upsetting.
My clients often have experienced complex trauma. I enjoy working with folks who have experienced trauma because it is incredible to see the healing, change, and growth that occurs in therapy for my clients. I feel honored to be a part of that process in an open, non-judgmental way.
