All my clients come from very different ranges of needs. I specialize in clients who struggle with mental health and with substance abuse. A lot of clients have come back after completing treatment because they were so satisfied with the individualized treatment plan based on their needs.
In this increasingly “good vibes only” culture, do you feel that you need to hide parts of yourself in order to fit in or be included in the group? Do you feel like you’re either too much or not enough? Like you’re the black sheep in your family or with your friends? You may have been thrown into an adult role as a child, having to emotionally care for your parent or caregiver, at the expense of your own emotional development, growth, or even safety. If this sounds familiar, there is hope.
I help adult individuals whose lives are adversely impacted by one or more of the following: compulsive sexual behavior (also known as sex/porn/love addiction or out of control sexual behavior), intimate partner betrayal trauma, depression, anxiety, attachment issues, difficult life transitions, post-traumatic stress, and other difficulties. I also help couples healing from infidelity and/or overcoming other relational problems, and I facilitate group therapy for recovering sex addicts.
Are you finding yourself in the same place over and over again? Maybe it’s a string of bad relationships, keeping a job or difficulty in school. Maybe life has taken you through trauma, the pain and effects of which you are still experiencing today. I can help you find the path that will lead to success rather than repeated frustration and discouragement. If you are tired of the struggle and the pain of trauma I can help you find hope and healing.
Are you looking to find more enjoyment in your life? Maybe you’re wanting to expand your social circle or develop healthier daily habits. Perhaps you’re feeling down or anxious and really need a judgment free space to just talk. Sometimes we find ourselves craving change, growth, or healing. Therapy can be a great way to set and achieve new goals, explore our histories, and find a new path forward.

Are you tired of anxiety and worry running your life? Is your to do list piling up and you just can't find the energy to get things done? Have you become your own biggest critic? I want to work with you to take back your life and become your most authentic self. I work with a full range of clients (children, adults, couples, families) and specialize in depression, anxiety, and trauma.
Are you struggling to cope with life transitions? Many of us are experiencing significant anxiety due to changing work environments, parenting children who aren’t in school or attempting to navigate the changing social conditions. Are you feeling stressed by a traumatic event? Perhaps you are experiencing a divorce, have family conflicts or are alone as an empty nester. These circumstances can impact your connection with family, colleagues, and most importantly, the relationship with yourself.
When you feel drained, overwhelmed, stuck, lonely, or estranged from inner aliveness, it can be hard to know where to turn. Your feelings make sense - everyone gets lost sometimes. Panic and anxiety can be very scary and depression can feel immoveable. With a trusted ally in the therapeutic process, you will gain relief, personalized tools, and creative solutions. My approach is compassionate and curious, and I value trust-building, collaboration, and actionable treatment planning.
You are constantly on the go, juggling two or three things at the same time including the help you offer others because you can’t stop yourself. What will others say to your “No’s, what would they think of you? You fear their judgment. Sometimes, you just want to be left alone. You sometimes snap at people you love and then feel guilty. You don’t enjoy life like you used to. Where is the motivation you had before? I will help you feel more confident and have healthier relationships.
They come from all walks of life. Many struggle with grief and loss--of a loved one, or of a cherished idea of how life was meant to be. Some feel at war with themselves; the survival strategies of the past--once so vital--no longer serve them, leading to depression, anxiety, and diminished relationships. They are in a bind: longing to connect but frightened, with good reason, of the vulnerability that makes connection possible. I help them move in the direction of growth and deeper connection.

Do you feel like you are not enough? Is it as though you are perpetually falling short? Is each day becoming increasingly difficult just to get through? You are not alone. I work with high-achieving women who are struggling with things like stress, depression, anxiety, pregnancy and postpartum. I have advanced training and certification in perinatal mental health and especially enjoy working with women who are navigating their pregnancy journeys.
The teenage years are filled with anxieties of self discovery and identity. As a young adult you may have parts of yourself you feel like you must hide. You may feel like there are conflicts with who you are, and how you currently present in the world. You may be coming to a deeper understanding of your gender or sexual identity. This can be a scary time that can complicate your relationship with your friends and family. Together we can explore ways to find a little more ease in the journey.
I work with people looking for deeper connections and intimacy with themselves and those around them. Whether you're navigating sexual issues, anxiety, religious trauma or LGBT+ issues, I'm here for it. And more importantly, I'm here for you. Together we can create a therapeutic relationship to help you grow into a more authentic version of you.

You are an individual adult and a couple who are highly sensitive empaths and neurodiverse. As creatives and high-achieving professionals, you desire to heal from your childhood attachment injuries and build safe, connected, and meaningful relationships. You've experienced grief and loss, encountered massive life transitions, and carried various obvious and not-so-obvious marginalized identities. You're not looking for temporary bandaids and believe sustainable healing is worth investing in.
I am a very open minded therapist and work to help people become authentic and feel comfortable expressing themselves fully. I help look at life from a broader perspective, which helps with anxiety, depression and other issues. I have worked with many clients who live alternative lifestyles. I enjoy my work and seeing change over time. I have been told by many clients that I am easy to talk to and down to earth. I will offer you feedback on your issues and offer interaction.
I work with clients to help them better navigate their experiences so that they can feel more authentic and aligned as they move through the world. Societal and cultural pressures affect each of us differently. I practice in a way that acknowledges the impact of systemic oppression and intergenerational trauma on individuals and communities. I know that when you walk into the room, you bring with you experiences I've never had and I believe that you are the expert on your own lived experience.
