Thoughts and emotions are powerful! While some can be inspiring and motivating, others can be defeating and hinder growth and potential. Maybe you've been putting your mental health and wellness on the back burner and are ready for change but don’t know where to start. Unfortunately, many of us weren't given the coping skills we need to deal with in everyday life, much less unexpected events. That's ok, because you are here now and we can start learning to use one tool at a time.
I believe that the North Star of your wellness is within you. I also believe that healing often happens in the context of relationship with others. So, as a therapist, one of the things I most prioritize is the strength and security of our therapeutic relationship. I’m excited to work together with you as you move in the direction of your goals for a flourishing, authentic life.
Have you ever felt like you’re carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders like your feet are too heavy to move forward? Struggling through anxiety, depression, burnout, or the daily pressures of life can make you feel stuck, isolated, and unsure of what comes next. In those moments, it can feel like no one truly understands the weight you’re carrying. When you’re in the thick of it, it’s not just about surviving the day—it’s about finding someone who genuinely listens, stands beside you
I specialize in work with older adults, caregivers and grief. Maybe you are caring for an ailing family member or longing to reconnect with your most authentic self after years of tending to others. You might be considering a transition to retirement, combating loneliness after the death of a spouse, redefining purpose, and building new relationships, or dealing with your own illness. Whatever the case may be, you deserve care that is focused on the unique needs of older adults.
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.

I understand that navigating grief and loss can be an incredibly challenging journey. My clients come from diverse backgrounds, each facing unique experiences related to divorce, job loss, life transitions, and the death of loved ones. I provide a compassionate space where individuals can explore their feelings, find support, and develop coping strategies. My goal is to empower you to heal and grow, helping you to rediscover hope and resilience in the face of life's most difficult moments.
Do you feel like your constantly doubting yourself? You have a goal that you are working towards but every time you try to move towards it, it either gets further away or you become unclear of what to do next. It's an overwhelming process and anxiety provoking. If you are ready to work on managing the worry and stress that overtakes you schedule a free consult with me and let's talk about what next steps best fit your needs.
Things are not right. You grapple with profound sadness, nightmares, and a feeling of dread when contemplating these events. Despite attempts at improvement, your situation remains stagnant. Your social life is struggling and relationships are strenuous. It feels like no one understands and things just stay the same year after year. You have aspirations and goals for the future yet are uncertain about how to navigate past your history.
Do you feel like everyday is a dice roll, and you never win? Have you tried everything you can on your own and nothing seems to get better? You don't have to do it alone. Victor Hugo said, “Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise.” I am here to help you overcome your dark night and find peace. Starting, or returning, to counseling can be hard but I am passionate about making the experience feel safe and comforting.
I specialize in working with members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and also people identified as Gifted/Talented - "gifted, geeky, and queer." I counsel people with gender and/or sexuality issues (such as coming out, family issues, relationship problems, HRT support), and I am sex positive and knowledgable in polyamory, ethical nonmonogamy, kink, and alternative lifestyles. I work with adolescents, teens, young adults, and adults. Sensitive, intuitive and empathetic.

Sometimes a painful experience has a grip on you - so much so that you feel unable to move past it. You feel betrayed, confused, hurt, scared, desperate, or angry. You feel consumed by it, and it's affecting your relationships and your performance. You may question your life choices, and you may feel like you're at the end of your rope. What do I do now? These are difficult, vulnerable moments in your life. Seeking help is a proactive and courageous act, and I will meet you where you are at.
My clients are women who are tired of constantly trying to prove themselves. They often are feeling frustrated and stuck with where they are in life. They’ve spent so much time meeting everyone’s needs and expectations that they have lost sight of who they are and what they truly want out of life. Some of my clients have even started to recognize that maybe the life they are living doesn't feel like their own because it isn't.
Life can be hard. Whether it is transitioning from one phase of life to another or financial and work stressors there is always something that we have to learn to cope with and it can be very easy to start feeling overwhelmed and stuck. I believe every experience in life has a purpose. Nothing happens by chance. Failure, conflict or ending a relationship isn't meant to break us but to provide valuable lessons for us to learn, grow, gain insight, become stronger and live happier.
I have experience working with DBT, CBT, Narrative, and Solution Focused Therapy. By focusing on what is present, we can step away and determine just how we want to react. People are very concerned with how they react, but it's when you understand why the reaction happened that we can learn how to view ourselves differently.

You struggle with feeling like no one gets you. Sometimes you struggle to understand yourself. It feels like "Groundhog Day," and you just want today to look and feel different... maybe even better. You've adapted and survived, often by stating that "it wasn't so bad," but at the same time, wondering how you ended up feeling so lost. You long for understanding, healing, and wellness. I look forward to helping you get there!
My clients are those that want to better themselves in some way, but are not quite sure what they want or how to get there. I love working with those that are making major life transitions, such as going to college, getting a new job, moving to a new location, changing a relationship status, etc. Sometimes when we feel stuck in a particular position, our potential gets stuck with us. I love working with eager folks that are ready to start confronting their anxieties in life.
