Hi! Whether you are looking for a place to talk through current stressors, process past traumas, or learn new skills and techniques to conquer each day, I am here to help!

Life is full of growth, transitions, and obstacles. Sometimes this can be a difficult process that requires additional support and a safe place to process it all. Together we work towards helping you identify practical goals and triggers, learn healthy coping skills, embrace personal strengths, and develop healthy boundaries. I specialize in anxiety, ADHD, OCD, eating disorders, and sexual compulsions. I work using a trauma informed and compassion focused approach for all clients. A big part of therapy is working from where you are at. We want to create goals that are customized to what is best for you.

I work with clients experiencing a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, disordered eating, body image concerns, grief, stress, and burnout. Before I became a therapist, I spent nearly a decade as a professional musical theatre actor and director in New York City, which taught me the importance of exploring emotions, making creative connections, and listening with openness and curiosity. Now as a professional counselor, I utilize these skills to help people tap into their emotions and examine their own life stories to create meaningful, lasting change.

You are not alone, and neither is your child! I am here to provide support for your family as we navigate this path together. We can find the peace that is missing in the puzzle, and return you and your family to a place of hope.

Let’s be real…life has a way of taking over sometimes and leaving you feeling powerless, frustrated, irritated or any number of ways. It can seem like a giant mess or other times it’s not too bad, but you may still be struggling to put the pieces together. Whether it’s a small issue that you just want to process, or you feel like you are hanging by a thread, my goal is to help you regain control. I want to walk with you through whatever is troubling you and help you find the power to work it out.

You’re exhausted, and it’s time to find rest and peace. You may be feeling anxious, angry, overwhelmed, or alone. You desire connection in close relationships, but intense feelings often create division. You feel stressed or triggered at times, and you’re not sure why. Quiet peacefulness is what you long for—calm, steady relationships that heal instead of hurt.

Life is full of hurt, disappointment, and brokenness. Even in the midst of difficulty, we often long for a sense of joy, hope, belonging, healing, and peace. Things like anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, and relational conflict can leave deep wounds and a sense of hopelessness. While there is often never a way to "fix" everything that's broken in our lives, I am a firm believer that healing and restoration is possible and counseling is a wonderful tool to move towards healing and a sense of wholeness.

Hello, and welcome! I’m glad you’ve found your way to this space. Life is hard sometimes! We can all use a little help. I work to help you feel less overwhelm—and more of the joy and belonging you are searching for. I help you find a way out of distress or feeling stuck, and back to your best self. We’ll figure out the map to your best self together, and then start moving toward an increased sense of joy, strength, calm, and freedom. If that is something you’d like for yourself, contact me for a consultation. It is my honor to accompany so many wonderful people on the journey to wellness!

I want you to know that you are not alone! I specialize primarily in trauma and anxiety disorders, but I also have experience in working with other mental health issues that affect your life. Many of my clients find relief in realizing that their struggle does not own them and that there are many options available to have hope again. Together we can find the root cause so we can create a more effective toolbox to manage your symptoms. People heal when they create trusting relationships with their therapist so they feel validated and understood. Some of the treatment modalities I utilize include CBT, EMDR, solution focused, etc.
