I work with diverse adult individuals experiencing life transitions, anxiety, and grief. I understand the importance of recognizing childhood relational or attachment trauma and its influence on mental health and well-being. Therefore, in my practice, I pay special attention to each client's life story. Additionally, I am especially interested in various types of adjustments, including adapting to new environments, navigating life transitions, and integrating into new cultures.

While I help clients with many psychological difficulties, I specialize in working with grief/ loss, guilt/shame, anger and trauma, including relational/developmental trauma, combat and military sexual trauma.
**I have daytime availability Monday-Friday and morning availability on Fridays.** I practice in an integrative fashion, combining aspects of psychodynamic, relational, cognitive-behavioral and existential perspectives. I view therapy as a collaborative process and work with my clients to help create and maintain a safe space to explore and interact with one's thoughts and feelings. I seek to help my clients live fully and authentically and see therapy as an opportunity to learn new ways of walking in the world that bring happiness and fulfillment.

I specialize in helping individuals develop a healthier relationship with food and their body, from eating disorders and everything in between, as well as low self worth/confidence, body image, anxiety, depression, low motivation, feeling hopeless, phase of life transitions, perfectionism, grief and loss, managing everyday stressors and relationship issues.
Navigating through the world can be overwhelming, confusing and challenging. Whether wanting to have a better relationship with yourself, others, getting unstuck or just figuring out your next steps in life, therapy can help you to address underlying issues preventing you from living the life you want. Most people come to therapy knowing what they need to change but rather struggle with knowing where and how to begin. Therapy can help you to have a deeper understanding of yourself, identify where you are getting stuck, improve coping with thoughts and feelings, and take the necessary steps to build the life you want.

Life can sometimes feel too difficult to navigate alone, and having a supportive and safe outlet can make all the difference. Relationship struggles, life purpose, grief and loss, identity issues, family dynamics, chronic illness, and other stressors can be overwhelming, but with counseling, they can be transformative. I am passionate about working with anyone experiencing emotional hardships and understand how effective therapy can help. I welcome all orientations and walks of life experiencing mental health concerns. I bring 25 years of experience in the medical field to counseling and value the power of the mind-body connection.

I have experience working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, relationship problems, work-life balance concerns, familial troubles, grief and loss, life transitions and trauma.
I believe that the therapeutic relationship is at the crux of change. Through this lens, I offer a safe and empathic space for clients to explore their inner world. Counseling is not just for those experiencing a life crisis or a current difficulty— it is an opportunity to learn new skills, gain new insights, and position oneself for increased health and wellness. Every client is unique and needs something different from the therapeutic process. Pulling from a variety of modalities, I tailor techniques in a creative way to fit those needs. Through working together, I believe that I can help you find your way to the path for growth.

I work with questions about identity development, family of origin issues, perfectionism, acculturation, shame, coping with the effects of trauma and loss.
I believe therapy is a collaborative process and invite feedback at all stages of our work. I bring to therapy my previous experiences working in creative environments, to help clients foster new perspectives and solutions that fit your unique struggles, identities, and personality. My clients have come from diverse backgrounds and many have experienced abuse, loss, and/or marginalization. Therapy can offer some immediate relief from stress, depression, and anxiety, but I also work with clients to make lasting changes in the way you see and relate to yourself and others. I work with university students, couples, and adults.

Life challenges can feel overwhelming, especially when it feels like our world has been turned upside down. Sometimes, a sudden event occurs-such as a new medical diagnosis or relationship loss-which disrupts our life and creates uncertainty. Even expected transitions can bring unexpected reactions. For example, a new baby, job, or move to a new city can bring excitement yet leave us feeling out of sorts. Ongoing concerns can also feel unsettling. Struggling with chronic health difficulties, depression, anxiety, ADHD, or feeling like we are not where we want to be can significantly impact our quality of life.

Your heart drops into your stomach and you are at a loss for words. Maybe you feel numb. Maybe you can't stop crying.

I have dedicated my life to guiding people through the emotional difficulties related to managing conditions such as: mild cognitive impairment, dementia, TBI, stroke, cancer, transplant, and pregnancy/fertility concerns.
