Currently on vacation through late August - will respond to messages after I return! It's normal to be going through a hard time. But if you haven’t yet discovered what helps you manage your unique stressors, relationships, and boundaries, then life likely feels so much harder than it needs to. If you're feeling stuck, having an outside perspective can help you see different paths through a difficult terrain. Whether your troubles stem from internal or external issues, I know that by creating a warm and reflective space where we explore your worries, challenges, and motivations, you can find places of relief and even joy.

Relationships can be hard work but they are also rewarding if you're willing to build a strong foundation of commitment and trust. As a couples counselor, my goal is to help you learn better ways to communicate and build emotional connection with your partner as well as assisting you both in identifying and describing your needs and wants in a respectful way. Above all, I’m a systems therapist and I love helping my clients draw the connections between childhood relationships and their current relational challenges. Sometimes you just need someone to ask the right questions that help you to think and do differently.

As a marriage and family therapist, I consider people’s contexts, or systems, from a smaller scale, such as family, friends, and intimate relationships, to a larger scale (sociocultural aspects) and how these factors intersect and influence your life. Even though I am specially trained in relational work (couple and family therapy), I also see clients individually.

I specialize in helping adults and teens in therapy. I am here to support you in your healing journey! My specialties include, but are not limited to, LGBTQ+ support, life changes, self-esteem, and faith transitions. I utilize a Jungian, psycho-analytic framework, alongside parts-based work, and a social justice lens. As a therapist, I help people increase their ability to understand themselves and the way they move through the world. During our time together people often become more self-aware, live their most authentic lives, and are better able to tune-in to their connection between mind and body.

TLC is a multi-disciplinary group of psychologists, OT's, & SLP's. The core of our philosophy is the belief that our focus is on people, not on diagnoses/disabilities. With that in mind, we develop an individualized plan with every child, young adult, and family. We use a holistic, strengths-based approach to help individuals reduce symptoms of anxiety or depression, develop better self-esteem, learn new coping skills, improve social skills, and learn how to communicate more effectively. With these skills, children, teens, and adults can develop more positive relationships and improve their functioning at school or work.

As someone that struggles with unwanted or intrusive thoughts, feelings, sensations, or urges, you often find yourself spinning in circles. You are constantly hounded by doubt and spend most of your time just trying to keep your head above water. You know that you are being illogical, but just can't seem to shake the feeling that something bad is going to happen. It can be scary to reach out for help. You may worry that you will be judged if you tell anyone about the content of your thoughts, so you suffer in silence. So often it seems that you have to carry this burden alone.

When is anxiety normal and when is it time to get help? You can't turn off your brain at night? Are you avoiding situations that make you nervous? Do you not want to get out of bed and face the day? Are you feeling exhausted by all of the worry? These are signs that anxiety is taking over your life. But you already know that, right? I'm not telling you anything new. The thing about anxiety is that it does not go away on its own and so often people just turn to medication and find that they don't have the strategies to navigate anxiety.

I provide therapy to adults, couples, adolescents, and children, working with issues including relationship difficulties, life changes, trauma, grief, and emotion regulation. During therapy, I aim to meet you where you’re at and create an emotionally safe space where you can fully express yourself and heal, no matter what challenges you’re facing. I integrate techniques from client-centered, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, EMDR, EFT, the Gottman Method, and mindfulness- and attachment-based therapies to help clients deal with stress, anxiety, depression, and life events impacting well-being.

As a therapist, my goal is to help you utilise your potential to lead a satisfying and productive life . While we can't change the past, we can work together to better understand how the events of the past continue to have an impact on your life, and through that understanding reclaim your choices and control of your life now. Through a variety of different therapy approaches and techniques, we will set clear goals and tackle the obstacles, internal and external, which get in the way of your accomplishment of your goals and keep you from the life you want.

Hello and welcome! I am so glad you’re here. As a licensed professional counselor with a Masters in Counseling from Johns Hopkins University, I am dedicated to supporting you on your journey. Since 2020, I've had the privilege of working with children, teens, and adults, helping them navigate challenges related to anxiety, OCD, depression, relationships, self-esteem, stress, life changes, and grief/loss. I approach each session with warmth, empathy, and a genuine desire to understand and support you.

I am dedicated to utilizing my extensive experience and education to assist individuals and families in promoting growth and self-understanding in their mental health. My goal is to help manage day-to-day life challenges and navigate life transitions. These transitions—whether for older adults facing significant life changes, young adults moving from college into the workforce, or adolescents transitioning from high school to college—can be daunting and anxiety-inducing. They often bring feelings of being stuck, fears of the unknown, and issues related to separation from family and friends.

Are you struggling with a sense of identity? Wishing that you'd pursued something and now it's "too late?" We're raised to believe that there is a particular timeline our lives need to follow, but in reality, everyone's path and timeline are different. It's never too late to make a change and no matter who we are, or where we are in our lives, we are all capable of change. It's my goal to help you work towards achieving YOUR goals (even if you haven't quite figured out those goals yet).
