Typically, those who are drawn to working with me have felt invalidated or unsafe when trying to explore trauma in the past, they’re navigating life after a childhood or relationship filled with toxicity or abuse, they’re feeling unfulfilled due to events or beliefs from their past, or they’re feeling like there’s no “after” of their traumatic experiences. Using EMDR and Flash processing, I’ll guide you towards relief from your pain. You deserve to wake up feeling safe and joyful. My goal is to help you create sustainable safety after abuse or trauma. Together, we’ll collaborate on your healing journey.

Hi, I'm so glad you're here! A trusting relationship between you and your therapist is where healing begins.

I hope to keep therapy interesting and meaningful for you, whether that means we 'walk and talk', incorporate expressive arts, or even cook together! I aspire to create a space where you & your family feel fully accepted for your unique identities and abilities.

Looking for your purpose, trying to heal from childhood trauma or maybe just looking for a "safe space" to talk and clear your thoughts?

Offering ONLINE sessions. It’s hard to be a woman! We feel like all the pressure is on us. We keep trying so hard to do it perfectly, but life still isn’t going the way we planned. We have the pressure of career, fertility, parenting, romantic relationships, time for a social life. There's all of that and then we notice the past we’ve been running from creeping up on us. It can be exhausting, not to mention overwhelming. And is anyone talking about how hard getting pregnant can be? It's supposed to just happen easily, but month after month the pregnancy tests keep coming back negative. It feels like our bodies are failing us.

I work collaboratively with my clients to help them resolve problems and reach their goals for personal wellbeing. You will find me to be non-judgmental, supportive, and genuine. I have experience successfully helping people with a wide range of concerns, from everyday stress to severely impairing mental health problems. My approach to therapy focuses on the thoughts, behaviors, and relationship patterns that may be causing difficulties. I often teach coping skills and mindfulness-based strategies. I also attend closely to the therapeutic relationship and to the development of insight or increased self-awareness in clients.

After 25 years of working in the field primarily offering individual therapy, I am now most interested in group therapy. My co-therapist and I offer two groups currently. Both groups have openings and are ongoing psychotherapy groups. There is nothing quite like the magic of therapy group. Group can immediately effect feelings of isolation, loneliness and supports healthy connections. Group can normalize human needs for a sense of belonging and support during these most uncertain times. I am accepting new patients and I hope to keep my practice relational with a strong focus on couples, families and group therapy.

Life and love can be messy. Our 24/7 world can make otherwise successful people get out of balance in their lives and in their relationships. The good news is: quality, research-based counseling works for couples and individuals. Together, we can help you and/or your relationship feel better.

Does it sometimes feel like your partner doesn't understand you? Have you experienced an affair or some other kind of infidelity? Connecting to our partner begins with understanding our own wants and desires and learning to communicate with one another in the most effective way possible. Relationships can give us a lot of comfort, but to be their best, they require hard work - and some guidance every now and then.

The basis of my practice is rooted in the promise of hope. I believe that we are all capable of moving toward healthier versions of ourselves that can result in more functional emotional responses, deeper, more satisfying relationships, and redeemed living. My goal is to be a helper that provides a safe place to begin to move toward positive change. I partner well with individuals and couples who are tired of dealing with dysfunction and are motivated to work toward being a better version of themselves.

My practice focuses on individual therapy with adults and adolescents. With compassionate, nonjudgmental listening, I provide a supportive space where you can safely explore areas for healing and growth. Together, we clarify your current experience and what you would like to see happen as a result of therapy. Relief, insight, courage? You may want to overcome or cope with difficult emotions, restore hope and confidence, repair or build relationships, create healthier patterns, or establish and maintain recovery. Therapy works. Through a therapeutic relationship over time, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves, and with compassionate awareness, experience meaningful growth.

I specialize in the child and adolescent population and their families and have done so for 18 years. I specialize in treating individuals with Intellectual Developmental Disabilities and using Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for trauma recovery. In my practice I also treat adults ( who can be seen by other therapists as well as myself within the practice). I collaborate with a psychiatric nurse practitioner for medication management, ensuring comprehensive support for clients.

Life is hard (especially right now!). Many of us have encountered loss and disappointment that is oout of our control. But the difference between grief and trauma is very often the support we receive during these periods and the meaning we make of these losses. I work with clients using a highly effective, evidence based treatment called EMDR to help clear away trauma and experience more joy and ease in daily life. I have advanced training in perinatal mental health and specialize in supporting individuals and couples during the complex transition into parenthood and the losses that may accompany it.

Sometimes we are so overwhelmed by our circumstances that we can’t see a way out. In an attempt to feel better, we fall into unhealthy patterns and habits that ultimately keep us stuck or make things worse. It can permeate our personal, professional and interpersonal lives but there is still hope. If you desire freedom for yourself and peace in your relationships, you've found a great starting place.
