Do you feel like you want to make a change in your life, but you just can't figure out how to get there? Like you're facing something that you just can't see a way past? I am here to help; to walk with you on the journey; to support the growth that you know you can achieve if you can just get started. We all hold the capacity to thrive in our lives. My goal in working with you is to meet you where you are, help you identify the root of your challenge, build resilience, and help you unearth your inner strength and wisdom, so you can emerge into your full self.

Currently on a waitlist. Welcome to my practice, where healing begins through a holistic and personalized approach. I am a dedicated therapist committed to supporting teens and adults on their journey to mental well-being. My therapeutic philosophy revolves around the integration of self-compassion, art therapy, mindfulness-based stress reduction, and nature-based interventions. In our virtual and in-office sessions, I provide a warm and nurturing environment for individuals seeking relief from the burdens of stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions.

As a psychotherapist I specialize in helping individuals who are interested in learning and growing in self-awareness and confidence. I work well with people who are exploring patterns of substance use, intimate relationships, performance anxieties, lack of confidence/satisfaction, major life transitions (job/school changes/relational/grief). I am a relationally and present moment-based therapist. This means we will work from a framework that everything (past/present/future) can be addressed by exploring the relationship you have with it in "right now". My role is to help guide you on your path of wellness.

You are at your threshold and something has to give. Maybe you have been struggling for years, or maybe you have new stress that feels unmanageable. You've tried changing your diet, journaling, talking it out, and nothing seems to change. It may seem as though things will never be different in your life or your relationship. But, after years of experience working with others just like you, here is the truth: lasting change is possible. My clients come to me because they want a shift and are seeking support as they turn onto a new path. Together, we will explore your thoughts and feelings, using a relational and intentional approach.

Whether this is your first time in therapy or a continuation of your journey, I believe that we all have something to gain when engaging in the therapy space. I have experience working with an array of clients, each bringing their own perspectives and mental health concerns into our sessions. Having worked with individuals with various backgrounds and identities, my passion lies in working with those exploring the intricacies of gender and sexuality. In addition to identity exploration, I enjoy supporting clients with navigating concerns around anxiety, intimacy, ADHD, relationships, depression, family dynamics, and trauma.

My approach to therapy is rooted in the view that we are all, at the deepest level, whole and complete; we all have wisdom, love, compassion, and the capacity for connection within us. My job as a therapist is not to fix or to change anyone—it is to help and support you in connecting with your own knowing, power, and ability to grow and meet your goals. I work with adults and older teens seeking assistance with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, life transitions, and identity development and change.

Getting started can be overwhelming. My goal is to help you feel as comfortable as possible so we can go at your pace. I specialize in working with clients with anxiety, ADHD, and trauma. Many of my clients have tried to cope with their situations by pushing their feelings away or using addictive behaviors to numb them. My job is to help people listen to and manage their emotions without feeling overwhelmed or ruled by them. Being personally recovery from alcohol helps me understand and empathize with what you’re going through because I’ve probably been there too.

You deserve to feel happiness along with a range of emotions. Did you know recent events can trigger our past traumas? Addressing our emotions through healthy coping can free our potential, improve relationships and help us to simply enjoy our life more thoroughly. I will work within an authentic, present-focused, self-paced therapeutic relationship to foster change. We will address past traumas at your pace and current obstacles to heal. I utilize tools that are evidence-based and meet your specific needs. I have over 20 years experience working with children, adolescents and adults from various backgrounds.
