I work with adults of all ages, and a large portion of my practice is made up of college-age students.
The choice to start therapy can be a difficult one. Sometimes life’s greatest challenges also present opportunities for transformation. My desire is to provide a safe and comfortable space where that can occur. Psychotherapy can be a wonderful process to take much needed time for yourself. The world throws a lot at us. I believe therapy needs to be a conversation-tailored to each persons individual needs. Collaboration is key and my goal is to help my clients learn skills and strategies to increase coping and find peace. I also believe that change is possible for every person. My pronouns are she/her.

I’m an EMDR Therapist and I help adults who are tired of constantly keeping the peace and pleasing others in order to be liked, and are looking to find their voice and their worth.
The thought of someone being upset with you makes your skin crawl. Another day gone by where you kept your thoughts to yourself to keep the peace. Big emotions and conflict feel dangerous and you fear as soon as you say what you’re feeling, people will judge and leave you. Being agreeable and going along with what others want feels like the safest way to live. You're spending the day replaying convos in your head, questioning if you said the wrong thing and worrying if that person is mad at you. You're exhausted from always apologizing, but backing down would cause conflict and you'd be seen as a problem for others.

I am a trauma-trained therapist who specializes in working with adults living with the impacts of their childhood experiences.
Do you ever feel like an imposter or struggle with feelings of inadequacy? Perhaps you lean towards perfectionism and feel like nothing you ever do is quite enough. Is it sometimes hard for you to set boundaries or take care of your needs? Many people with childhood trauma grapple with these difficulties and more. It may be hard for you to feel connected with others or to shake off feelings of loneliness. Sometimes you might even feel like it's hard to enjoy the good things in your life.

It's normal to struggle at various times in life. Maybe a recent loss or an ongoing feeling strains your capacities or relationships. Talking with a trained professional helps. My type of working with people goes beyond symptom relief. I listen closely to build understanding. This understanding can inform new ways in which you see yourself.

I work with adolescents and adults suffering from depression, anxiety and grief.
My ideal client is someone who makes that phone call to ask for help and is ready to begin clarifying goals to improve some aspect of their life. Issues that they may be facing include self-esteem issues, depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, lack of coping and communication skills, family dynamics, grief, etc. The most important thing for me to do to help my clients with all their needs is to provide a safe environment, build rapport with them by making them feel comfortable, and assisting them in prioritizing what they want to work on.
